No Dark Sarcasms In The Classroom - POM lesson 1.

this blog is about my understanding of the subject 'Principles of organization and Management (POM)' which is being taught by Dr. T. Prasad who is popularly known as Dr. Mandi. 

Talking about the teaching style of Dr. Mandi; he walks into the classroom, removes his floaters and walks into the narrow space between rows of students as he speaks.

he is very direct with his choice of words and don't care about euphemism in his remarks. he boldly said: "anyone who is not earning the money he is spending is, to me, a financial beggar." most of we students fall under this category. he doesn't provide a conclusion and lets the student free to analyse and understand things and concept as they see fit. his style reminds me of a famous quote:

"you want to feed a man for a day, give him a fish.
you want to feed a man for life, teach him how to fish."
he definitely doesn't feed us with the concepts, instead he is teaching us to observe, think and learn the principles of organization management on our own. that is why he made us to repeat the following words after him:

Soacho.. Becho !  Becho.. Seekho ! !   Seekho .. Soacho ! ! !
he gave us some toys and asked us observe them. every toy had some science behind it. It is then he told us that how we can leverage upon our knowledge of science and sell that knowledge with the toy at a much higher price. once the wheel of "thinking-selling-learning" is set in motion, things are easy.

Then I learned that average cost per person per day of pursuing MBA in NITIE is around 2500 Rs. and Dr. Mandi was very serious when he said "AAJ KI ROTI AAJ HI KAMANI HAI." As the cost of studying is very high so every student must thrive to recover it as along he pursues MBA. In such scenario, it becomes a necessity to think like an entrepreneur. The best way to learn Business Administration is by thinking businessman. Dr. Mandi doesn’t want his students to become corporate slaves; he wants them to become great self sufficient professionals.  This is exactly the kind of attitude a student must also carry.


I shall continue writing on future lessons on the subject. keep visiting and comment your feedback and suggestions.
