"They glanced at one another like tigers taking measure of a menacing new rival.".......... The Class, Eric Segal.
I remember reading this novel some 10 years back. However, This line has since then always remained fresh in my mind. Always.
Today in our HBO lecture this issue came up all of nowhere. Whether we should take our batchmates as partners in our learning process or should we take them as our competitors. Interesting.... right.
Including my proffy, most of my batchmates were arguing for partners. That everyone should assist others in the class. We should try to help each other in overcoming his/her weaknesses.
But does it happens all the time?
I'm not sure about others, but I certainly believe that its my competitive spirit only which has taken me so far. Its hard to believe that most of the time we don't see our batchmates as rivals. In my opinion we do. And there is nothing wrong in it. One hour and 20 minutes which we spend in a class will be most productive only if everyone is trying to outshine others. To give his best.
The only imporant thing must remembering is that competition should be healthy. One should not resort to unehtical means :D.

Walkabout
So, finally I bought an Acoustic Guitar Today.
Now this sounds interesting. Why would an MBA student in midst of his classes leave all the books behind and head towards a Guitar shop!!!.
Well the answer to this question lies in my HBO Course. In this course we were asked to take up a challenging project. To do something which one always wanted to do but could never muster enough courage. Of course there were certain conditions attached to the type of projects one can chose.
I chose to learn playing Guitar & to perform a duet in the end with one of my batch met who is also standing by me in this journey.
Since my engineering college days I wanted to play Guitar. Once I even started taking lesson from my guitarist friend, Swadhisthan Thoke. However, I failed miserably then.
So This time when opportunity knocked on my door, I didn’t let it go.
I’ve got 2 and half month, before the D-day. Also, this Walkabout carries 25% weight of HBO course, which again is a 4 credit course. Lets see what happens.
Btw, I’ve already taken appointment with an instructor here and shall be starting my formal training from tomorrow. Wish me luck !
