exam fever

well the mid terms are over now and the end term light years away(though it feels like),what better to summarize my feelings about the first term @MDI.....

When life feels like a circus,
and you find comfort at Arcus,

when you cut down your time at facebook
and increase your investmetment in textbook

when you discover books that you never thought existed
and you sink in eveything which never get digested

Its not a trick question that needs explanation
its examination time folks !!!an euphemism for damnation

The pain is excruciating and sometimes you need sedative
but it aint matter how much you slog...wtf it's ALL RELATIVE

the competition gets tough and the stakes get higher
some cheat,some faff and some become lier

The rat race begins from here,but the journey is pleasurable
who cares if you become a rat, at least you get THERE

marketing, accounting and statistics capture the marketspace of your mind
and even if I manage a C, i would say the Prof was kind.

Examinations are a necessary evil, that's the key learning
Exams are over, booze in on, will sleep over the whole morning

Life @ MDI

Coming back after a long time. Hectic life style, assignment overloads and inclement Gurgaon weather has soaked in every bit of my blogging energy, but then whats the better time to rejoin than the midst of mid terms. Well looking for the classical Organizational Behavior (OB)question on how to recruit the right person for the job,I stumbled upon this all encompassing and pertinent solution. I wish I could use the below answer to save myself from all the "faff" that i would be putting down on the paper. I cannot put this on the answer sheet so I here it goes...enjoy
@ Disclaimer : This is not my creation. Hats off to the author....

HOW TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB?

Put about 100 bricks in no particular order in a closed room with an open
window. Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyse the situation.

If they are counting the bricks, put them in the accounts department.

If they are recounting them, put them in auditing.

If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in
engineering.

If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them in
planning.

If they are throwing the bricks at each other, put them in operations.

If they are sleeping, put them in reception.

If they have broken the bricks into pieces, put them in information
technology.

If they are sitting idle, put them in human resources.

If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has
been moved, put them in sales.

If they have already left for the day, put them in marketing.

If they are staring out of the window, put them in strategic planning.

And then last but not least......¦

If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved,
Congratulate them and put them in Top Management!!
