My first step towards |\/|@nAgemEnt at NITIE Mumbai

I still remember the day when the results for GDPI were out for NITIE Mumbai, I was on cloud nine as I became a part of Gods Own Campus.

Day 1,there was something in the air that morning . We didn't encounter a leopard 

but yes it was our first class at Nitie ,everyone was getting ready for the class at 9 AM. It was heavily raining and we all had to climb  98 steps  to attend the class.

After entering the class I found golden words by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam live:-  :-"First Bench Students are intelligent, until last bench students don't participate in the competition..." since all the back benches were occupied. My memories of GDPI got refreshed the moment Dr Prasad popularly known as “Dr Mandi” entered the class as he was one of the panelist in GDPI. A de facto MBA class is expected to be on projector with presentations and  long lectures to our surprise Dr Mandi dispersed some toys like two globe balls ,two pink butterfly made of plastic ,a wooden hen with a inclined stand to the students to play with them and pass on to others. The significance of this exercise was kept occult.("the toys were the implication of physics which we all have left behind").

The importance of Blogging was being explained by Mr Mandi in a manner that made everyone introspect the need of centralized online education system to spread education globally i.e. Global Online Blogging System where the student will act as virus ("blogger virus") to educate the aspirant from all over the world without any need of institutes as well as it will address the current problem of  shortage of teachers.

Blogging is an info graphic of your experience and learning in a form of repository "Free of Cost !!".

We all were being asked to calculate the PDC which came approx Rs 2500 /-INR and the mantra we were being taught was "Aaj  ki roti, aaj hi kamani hai" .The formula to solve this problem was earn while learn  and in  Dr Mandi's way the message was

"Socho.. Becho !  Becho.. Seekho ! !   Seekho .. Socho ! ! !

Aaj Ki roti...Aaj hee,  kamani hai ! "

Lately, Mr Mandi who is a trailblazer for the event MANDI introduced to the song 'Another Brick in the Wall' by Pink Floyd . The class sang it enthusiastically .His main idea to introduce this song was to tell that Knowledge attained through learning should bring amelioration , new innovation  for the society not to be just another brick in the wall.

Great Ideas  leads to great achievements.
