5 P's and one 'A'

Well, for most of you , 5 P's is confusing, but for all the MBA grads also its little confusing.This is because, during their academics they have heard either 4 or 7 P's in marketing. Hmmm, you are correct this 5th P is something related to me and the one A is related to the 5th P. I know its getting little bored with all these numbers ,then let me get into the stuff right.
First of all, sorry for being late in posting,now I am putting a disclaimer that I would be updating the blog once in 7 or 10 days depending on my free time.
Last fortnight was a very interesting and stressing one due to loads of assignments,presentation preparations and exam scares too.Finally,my wish came true, when I was in marketing class, getting taught by Dr.Paul prabhaker Sir, making it more interesting.All of we guys were enjoying the lecture to the maximum, marketing always fascinated me, and now there is anything else that can really divert me from being a marketing guy.Asusual, we got the assignments and this time it was to work on any "Company" and get the details about the marketing and business concepts. Thankfully because of my team mate we have decided to go for "AIR DECCAN" and the worst I decided to be the marketing project co-ordinator.Lots of eye brows were raised when I told that I wanted to be , but out of modesty no body put up any resistance.MBA teaches people to be decent , u know, and I was confirmed about that.Apparently, I had to work out and make sure that everybody is passing the information.It wasnt difficult since noone was working and asusual we all started working on the final day(For the first time I finished my part well ahead in time, and it made sense to all,and I also worked hard for that, may be because of interest in the subject)
Before all these events I was very happy to having passed the Philosophy with a C grade(However its no where near a substantial achievement).


THE PRESENTATION DAY

Presentations were supposed to start at 7.30 in morning, and since this was my first official presentation I had butter flies in stomach.We were supposed to come in formals, and I always follow formal suppositions(Is there any word like this?????).8 presentations were there and mine was the 7th making it more difficult.Presentations started with Tata motors,tata steels,TMB,Airtel, Kotak,Jet Airways.My turn came, and I already saw lots of people were bored and some of my friends yawning like hell.I was unhappy to see, the content of others presentations being good and the content for our presentation was not much and it depended on me and my frens presentation.Now you cannot wait to hear what happened,I know......
I always believe in delivering a presentation, which is listened to. Inorder to wake up my frens from sleep, I started asking some questions about Air deccan, and people got up and knew that something was happening.Then I started delivered it, finished it.I made it enough hillarious and funny to keep people engaged. I heard a huge applause to our presentation. I was not sure whether it was a sarcastic one, but I took it as a positive.Everyone congratulated me saying that my presentation was the best, if not the content.On peer to peer evaluation our group scored well.I was happy, and my team was shocked.They never thought I could do that.So all I can say is expecations are set now............hehehe

Now did you understand what "A" stands, I take it for appreciation.Even Dr.Paul, congratulated me personally for my presentation.That was like a honour for me.Now enough of my trumpet blowing,lets getting into the other things.


Hey frens, forgot to tell you that we got our HP laptops.Its one sexy lappy.It costed us around 55k, but I felt its worth that.Now that we got our laptops we were supposed to put more effort and do more assignments.
Financial Accounting course has started and Dr.SuryaSekhar from US is making sure that we understand GAAP(Generally Accepted accounting principles, accounting style in US).We have worked on may balance sheets of companies like CISO,Intel and GM.Its very interesting but at the sametime confusing.5 classes and we had an exam, I did well and my balance sheet balanced well but with a wrong amount(effect of ENRON discussions).I was little relaxed, and it was saturday.
Alreay our group guys started cribbing sessions and it made no sense in not going to a pub. We went to a place called "DIESEL", pretty decent , with decent music.Had loads of fun, head-banging, virtual drumming and back to home.
Sunday morning, at 8 macroeconomics class .................................
