First Day in new life of MBE

Finally D day dawned and I woke up to remember the questions whose answers I had to get today the orientation was to begin at 11 am and I reached by 10:15 as if my friends(who accompanied me) and I were to get early bird prize.We explored the campus and saw some of our batchmates No sign of seniors I thought I would be welcomed by seniors by garlands and rose water

Then the students assembled in a assigned room where all the faculty members gave us brief intros and welcomed us..After that,a break for snacks and tea/coffee This break was used for exploring the campus and of course the famous Bamboo canteen

Our seniors had a rocking time asking us to do this that..Ragging is not the right word for me atleast had to show some attitude to a guy who had to tease me there was rakhi ka sawyamvar,dance performance,samba act etc..I had a good time laughing through out all the performances even at mine because that guy asked me for TZP
Some gyaan about groups and clubs was given by seniors and some more masti
The session had a bad ending
a)Formals to be worn till orientation is on
b) Speech on career goals on friday..I still don't know mine
c)Business plan PPT What is that God help me

That's all for the day 16th July 2009 ..keep watching this space for more updates

Finomena - The Finance Summit

It is a matter of great pride for all of us at MBE that Finomena has turned out to be a grand success!! The Topic of the Summit was what all in India would like to have an answer for "Financial tsunami :The Domino Effect". And therefore we selected speakers who could give us different views on the topic. The 3 hour long session made sure that we had at the end of the session a good bit idea about the answer. The tireless hard work of MBEites was duly paid by the Excellent Speakers and an engaging experience.
