Trip to Jim Corbett National Park

For most of us oversleeping and missing breakfast had become a norm during the last few weeks of Term I.  To shake off the End Term examination blues, few of us decided to head to Jim Corbett National Park.

As the Park is about 230 Km from our campus, hence we decided to take an early start. We woke up in the wee hours to pack our stuff and kick off for our weekend adventure trip.

Snapshots from Hell

After two months of grueling classes, last-minute submission of assignments and projects, surprise quizzes and spine chilling end term exams, we have stepped into our second term. Battered and bruised, the swagger of term one seems subdued but the spirits are still soaring high. Wiser from experience of spending sleepless nights for exam preparation, many (yours truly can be excluded from this elite list) have resolved not to let anything pile up till the D-day.  Planning, after all, is an essential part of being a manager-to-be.  Execution though can wait till the opportune moment.
