IVF

>Guess from the title of this post what I'm gonna talk about = exactly correct guess places you alongside Einstein on the IQ prowess; incorrect / no guess place you with me :-)

I was tired of de-signification of the word "I" in the corporate world I left behind on 1-Apr-09. Sample the alternatives and pick up the one you like:
[1] Together everyone achieves more (kyon bhai, doosra dekh raha hota hai tou you start working).
[2] Whole is greater than sum of parts (kewal Ram-Lakhan mein).
[3] It's a win-win: you win, I win, all win (court marshal for the losers, yeah?)
[4] It's a team game: you look after my back and I look after yours (because I have not anything better to do).
[5] A job worth doing is worth doing together (for sure that's true of 1 activity, kar lo guess).
[6] None of us is as smart as all of us (kyonki smart tou hum sab paida hee huye thhey).


More senior you climbed in the mgmt ladder, more often you are expected to preach all of the above; by that virtue I must confess I had to say all this with a poker face. Wonder why not "we" get promoted or "we" get a fabulous raise or "we" get an award!
For God's sake, why do we forget the normal "I"s, as in 'eye' / 'aai' (shapath) / 'aayee' (tu chal, mai aayee) / aai-yoh (jab chot lagti hai)....so on so forth.

Before I tell you my tryst with the "I" that has currently enamored me, lemme expand the post-title: It's about "I" and "We" factor :-)

The new "I" is the Ipmx; for once this "I" lives upto its reputation. "International" is the name of this program thereby making sure that all courses imparted necessarily have that flavour:
[1] Law course has to be Legal Environment in INTERNATIONAL business.
[2] Finance has to include full blown credit course on INTERNATIONAL finance (taught by INTERNATIONAL faculty).
[3] The HRM / OB kind of subjects have to focus on INTERNATIONAL culture.
[4] Marketing and Operations need not be INTERNATIONALized explicitly because all authors n cases are so much INTERNATIONALly inclined that you are suddenly translocated in the western world.
[5] Economics without INTERNATIONAL perspective is 'baniagiri', won't it?
[6] Ahh! even the communication course is INTERNATIONAL business communication.

Lest you start dreaming of an INTERNATIONAL jetsetting lifestyle, lemme emphasize the basic "I" of the course = INDIAN. You are being groomed to be an INDIAN manager with INTERNATIONAL perspective (you knew that, didn't you?).

I did miss out the key ingredient of the program- INTERNATIONAL immersion.
However, I do not miss out on INTERNATIONAL cuisine which they do not serve here because I love all varieties of Indian food.

Till we meet again, why don't you decode my "bye / take care" phrase w/o googling?
