Learning curve

Let’s face it. ISB. PGP Programme. Pretty intensive (and expensive) course.
Correction. It’s a FREAKING expensive course. So it better teach us something we don’t know already. Now that we are a week into the core courses, what exactly have we learned?
An update:
Jhataak colour shirts are good for you…
…especially if you sit in the last row. It helps get professor’s attention and you have a higher probability of blessing the class with your arbit inputs. Long hands help, but since you can’t do much about them, try that outrageous shirt.

Sunk costs…
You like girl. You spend time. You spend money. Girl turns out to be a bitch.
Your time and money = sunk cost.
Fuck it. Chase another bitch…err… I mean… girl

Deadlines are magicians!
It’s like the Big Daddy of all. The moment we hear it approaching, groups settle their disputes, ideas pop out, reports jump out of nowhere. Seriously, it’s the classic Bollywood scene where brats turn into angels and say, ‘Papa aa gaye! Papa aa gaye!”

Love can also be in a hurry!
One week into the core courses and the dating game has already begun. Who says love takes time? Or is it love? Don’t know. Don’t care.

Peacocks are annoying
Peacocks are no longer silent birds that walk around looking pretty. They scream. And they don’t care if you were up till 4 in the morning working on a case study. They still choose to exercise their vocal cords from 6 AM onwards.
