4:15 pm - I had put on my business casual and rushed to CR5. I took the comb in one pocket, so that I could rest the bouncing souls on my head called hair, to rest; while I walked to the CR5. If u are late u have to flush out 250 bucks.
4:30 pm- 5:30pm - the presentation by this company, which claims to be the 2nd largest FMCG in India (pre Gillete-PnG marriage) starts with the display of "uncommon sense", which is their idea of existance.
Well, one good thing they distribute After Shower Cream and a Aftershower Gel.
wierd.
Then, for an hour they go on to pitch in as to how wonderful it is to work in that organization.. I am impresssed.
5:45 pm- I rush to the computer center (I have been playing the Commodity trading game there). I see a slump in the silver and gold prices. I start buying a couple of lots. Soon, there is a news flash in Kitco.com that some funds have started buying Gold. Gold prices start to rise so wht do I do .. I take some short (sell) positions.
No prizes for guessing the bullion prices never go back .. and I start losing money. I decide to go back and sleep.
8:30 pm - I came back to room. and started reading a book "the new world of microenterprise finance". I was supposed to submit a review next morning.
10:00 pm - I couldn't resist sleep. :)
00:30 am - I woke up to reality. Start slipping the pages of the book. fast and furious.
7:00 am - I completed a review of 4000 words. Then, I started another book.
10:10 pm- I finish both the reviews. Rush to Ludo's room. wake him up. Start his comp and fire the print out. y don't they keep their system fast and running. geez. Meanwhile, far-far away from the maddening moments the class where the review was to be submitted has already started.
10:10 am - I enter the classroom with a thumping noise of hands hitting the desks and everyone staring at me.
Mr. Sriram welcomes me in the class."Did u submit both the reviews". I answer by nodding my head in affirmative. "Are u able to walk? (he he he.. my foot) If, u wanna go back and sleep, I will allow you and If u wanna stay, that is possible only in one condition - u have to promise You won't snore".
No Answers.

**FlashBack***
The book review was allotted like a month ago. However, I realized only two days back that the book I was supposed to cover, wasn't available. I was roaming around in a corridor, where I was supposed to be interviewed for a Job that I saw the prof passing by. I informed the prof that I didn't find the particular book and instead picked another by the same author. the prof gave me a mouthful before he realized my neatly pressed suit and asked " Are you going for a job interview?" I said "yes". " Well, then go in a good mood and talk to me in the class next day."
The next day. He asked me to submit reviews on two books. Punishment for bad planning. I had only one day to go.
So I had finished 2 book reviews of 4000 words each in one night. One of the Book was about SBA Loan guarantees to the Bank credits by the federal government and the only thing it discussed was how badly run and managed the whole program was in the early 1950s.
Gladly it was the profs last class and thats my experience with one of the best prof i met was to end.
"Ok, So bye bye for now and all the best for your careers.Its time for me to gossip in our lobby with other teachers." Pause. and stare. ""what do you think only students gossip. Faculty also have their own juices to share. The crime committed on you is an organized one." Wide smile. "Good morning Jay and Bye"
11:15 am - I am back to my room. I check my mail-box and reply to some penis enlargement kit messages.
Oh, when would they stop.
11:45 am - I adorn myself in business casuals again and enter the CR5 (again!!), which adorned itself for a mega cola war. Yes, this time it was Pepsico presentation.
Good thing about them, they distributed us lots of free Pepsi and Mountain dew. Bad thing, I am not very fond of Pepsi products. They made us play a game in four groups named "Pepsi, Aquafina, Tropicana, Fritolay". We were supposed to solve an operation problem for them.
The Fritolay group presented an algorithm to solve their distribution problem and walked away with the prize.
1:30pm - I finished my mountain dew and walked towards the dining hall for Lunch.
2:00 pm- I come back to room. I check the Gold prices and silver prices. They had climbed further up. more losses. I sit back and wait for the prices to go down. They didn't.
5:00pm- I come back to room dejected and open my comp to see a news in www.kitco.com
"Gold prices crash from an all time high because the funds face losses".
A bit too little too late.

Firstly, I don't like the Beatles ... just so you know :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I am a Diet Coke girl so I totally agree with you re Pepsi.
And what, they can't afford to pay the students with proper money for the suggestion that is gonna make them more money? *tsk*
Real case scenarios are great when you are a student, but Pepsi shouldn't take advantage of it.
And as for your Commodity trading, man you need to be crack ... ehhh... blackberry up and keep an eye on the market 24/7 and not let book reviews and classes come in the way.
AND
ReplyDeleteyour post doesn't come up in my RSS reader ... just this:

yay for u r not a pepsi gal..
ReplyDeleteboo for u don't like Beatles.
They didn't give us money but they gave some shitty prize to the winner who solved the case.
Oh hell ya !! I need to devote more time in the commodity trade.. [but anyways.. i lost only 2500 bucks rest was contributed by my broker and college's trading club :)].
Ur RSS reader sucks :|
No, my RSS reader doesn't suck. Don't complain. First you are bullying me a la Jade Goody style to get me to use RSS and the you don't have the right RSS whatever so I can follow your blog.
ReplyDeleteI'd do with oil instead of gold. Gold usually goes up when it is a new Iraq war starting or similar. Gold is the safe haven when the fin.stats can't tell the future.
I am, of course, don't practice what I preach. Well, actually, I am investing in Russia mutual funds and they are linked up with oil indirectly.
I was not doing Gold instead of Crude coz it was a Gold mini contract.. so smaller volumes & less exposure. We had a cap on the exposure (Because it was arranged by a third party AND COLLEGE for our sake :( ).. and today the game was closed so had to square off all positions at losses.
ReplyDeleteI trade only in equities, currently. Russian Mutual funds is a nice idea.. will start my research on them soon.
Lizze everything is dependent on "OIL" :P
and :P If I did a Jade Goody.. on u .. Thank me .. now u can become a failed-actress-turned-star like Shilpa :)
A Hard Days Night... hahaha. i haven't been hearing that song for quite some time now. love it though. you got good taste in music. just like the saying "old is gold". ^^
ReplyDeletecheers!
Hellolz Erlynda.
ReplyDeleteYeah. old is gold :) Tell that to Lizze.
