Presentation Mania

Four down.. two more to go..... The brutal week is not getting better.. Physically or Mentally!!

Summer I will end on Friday, and Summer two will start from Monday, July 2nd.

Strangest dream the other night. Surprisingly, all about Negative reinforcement.

Maybe communication would be that much easier, not having to use words.

Presenation Fiasco

Had one of the hardest Presentation yesterday on the " Random House".... the core topic was about Integrated Vs Potfolio organization and about a synergy of a company. Is it really good to have synergy???

Sadly, even putting extra effort for so many days, the presentation did not turn out to be good. In fact, we were grilled until the very end... The presentation which was suppose to last one hour and 15 min lasted for brutal 2 hours.

I want to write more.. However, I'm not going to write about what I probably originally wanted to because the night is shot. It's gone. the happiness i had kind of disintegrated.... at least the music is good.. the beautiful Jazz.. and of course, I am tierd... 2 more weeks to go..

Confusion

I'm wondering if and how i could reinvent myself.
I think that would be a worthwhile thing to do.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Snippets!!!

Relaxing isn’t it when the day is past and you are spent all you had on surviving its trials and wonders and awakeness and the only thing to do this time of night is lazily turn an apathetic ear to a boring or rubbish tv show or simply lying down doing absolutely nothing. The air isn’t heavy its just your head and lips weight more than all that but its nonsensical and unimportant all at once.

Anyways, Summer school is going by way faster than any of us had ever imagined. The work load is unfathomable!!!

I am so much behind the blog thingie. So much has happened. I still have to update my German visit along with the UVA graduation and the Maine visit. It is just that I have been bit busy with the school work. The case study simply does not stop coming.

This morning in the train I was reading a case for my Brand management class about “Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy”. Yup! I had no idea about the full name of the empire. Henessey and Moet et Chandon are both a leading champagne and cognac manufacturer. Moet et Chandon, at first merget with Henessy and later, they then merged with Louis Vuitton. So far, this has been one of the interesting cases I have read. Another one that I read yesterday was about the Chinese brand Lenovo!!

With that being said, it is time for me to get back to my case study. I will try to assure the fact that all the exciting blogs along with the pictures will be updated soon!!

Ciao

My Diary in Germany

The first day

The trip from Boston to Germany was really a short one. The travel was good however, I know for a fact that given a choice, I will not fly in Lufthansa again. In Boston, Lufthansa has done so much marketing promotion and it has really succeeded in gaining attention and placing the image of Lufthansa as a superior airlines. I am going to say bluntly that I did not like it at all. The leg room was really small, the portion of the food was small as well and on top of that, they had no LCD’s on the back of the seat.

The only thing that I liked about this airline was that we did not have to pay for the wine. Unlike other airlines in which you have to pay $5 for a glass of wine, we had the liberty to enjoy free wine in Lufthansa.

So far my best flight experience has no doubt been in Northwest Airlines. For Asian Airlines it is Cathay Pacific, Thai, and Singapore Airlines.

Along with Amit and Diviya, Matt, Huani and Professor Mclean were also in the same flight. We had a direct flight from Boston to Frankfurt that was good. The only caveat was that we landed in Frankfurt at 5:00 in the morning and our hotel rooms were not available till 12:00 in the afternoon. Bummer!!

Luckily Matt got a room. After placing our luggage, we decided to go for a quick stroll in Frankfurt. The place looked very quiet. Some of the places very much reminded me of Zurich. The building, the small paved streets……. the train.

We took a quick tour around the river and everything was closed. The place was very quiet. For some reason I was hoping to see small bread and baguette shops like the ones in Paris. However, the streets of Frankfurt were completely deserted. Soon it was 9:00 clock; we had wandered around the city for 3 hours…. .Yet, nothing seemed to open. We walked around the city for another hour. There was a huge flee market near the banks of the river. Since we were trying to kill time, we walked slowly around the market. I was half asleep.

Finally upon arriving at the hotel at 12:30 pm, we got a room and took a nap. I was bit tired of taking too many pictures…

We had a group meeting in a small room where we got to meet with everyone. Everyone was excited, excited for the “chic and elegant” dinner that night. The meeting was a short one, basically summarizing our trip agenda. We also had a quick introduction with Dr. Gilbert and Ingo.

Dinner that night was fabulous. I had ordered salmon which was equally good. After the dinner, we went for a night walk… Night life in Frankfurt was completely different. It somehow reminded me of “July 4^th” fireworks night. The night looked young to everyone… however, I was tired. The rest of the group decided to go. After a exciting 45 minutes walk, I was ready to go to bed. And yes, we did manage to see the tallest building in Europe and yes, we were 100% convinced that it was definitely the tallest building.
