Value of IIMC-Senior Management Programme....

Hi, I have attended 2 weeks of IIMC-SMP programme. This certainly is very valuable education, that combines the depth of in-campus management teaching and the flexibility of distance learning! The infrastructure for this program is brought to us by NIIT. The attendance system is very strict - If you are 15 minutes delayed to a class, the attendance is lost and affects your chances of getting through the programme successfully!!! I like this....though challenging :)

The usage of video+audio+text chat enhances the experience as a student. It brings so many of us throughout India in a single virtual class room.

What do you get at the end of this exciting program - if you are expecting a CERTIFICATE that you can proudly hang in your living room, NO! It adds value to your managerial skills and hones you for SENIOR MANAGEMENT challenges, without doubt!

First of all it is for 10+ year experienced professionals - you are not competing with 2-3 year old profesiisonals for a space in "MBA" certification! This is much more than the MBA, and hence I prefer to call it as "SMP" - as such!!!

I would strongly recommend this programme - if you are seriously looking at enhancing your skills to climb the corporate ladder and becoming a LEADER!!!

Building My Duplex House - Part One - Commencing Work...

Folks, Finally the good news is here to announce.  I have started construction of my dream house in Bangalore.  It all started early this year (2008)! I visited my daughter's friend Janani on a weekend and shared her father's experience in building their duplex house in a 30x40 sqft plot. I liked the house especially the sun-light passing staircase. That's when I decided to go for my own house. Luckily I bought a 30x40 plot near Electronic City - Singasandra village in the year 2003 for a throw-away price (now). After 4+ years the value of the land in those areas have skyrocketted - almost 7 times.  Then I got in touch with my architect - referred by Janani's father - in  M arch 2008.  Went through couple of round of discussions on the plan, saw some basic samples and then confirmed his services in  April 2008  by paying a decent advance. (The cost the architect's charge is based on the building costs - but I negotiated for a fixed cost as the actual costs will vary

Kerala Trip 2009: Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey (Slide-show)

Took off to Kerala for 5 days (21st Sep to 25th Sep). I have been planning for a Kerala trip for quite sometime and finally got a chance to do it! Kids were at home for pooja holidays and I got my leave approved for a week. What else? We travelled to Kerala - Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey. I didn't want to drive from Bangalore and hence decided to take the air route to Cochin and then a package tour option through CocoKerala! All went well and the rain gods didn't interrupt us too much. Day 1: Bangalore to Cochin by Go Air, no frills airline. From Cochin to Munnar by road (Tavera, SUV). Day 2: At Munnar. Took a whole body massage, very refreshing! Then to Mattupetty, Kundala dam. Day 3: From Munnar to Thekkady. Elephant ride and Spice garden visit Day 4: Early morning boating at Thekkady. Spotted some wildlife up-close. Elephants, fox, deer, wild-pigs etc. By road to Alleppey and checked in to House-boat at Punnamada, Alleppey. Ride along the paddy fields - breathtaking! Stayed
