Day One

 

Getting Started...

“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.”
   Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics

The excitement of learning new things in the best business school had instigated a feeling to know the faculties. And when I came to know about Dr. T Prasad also known as Dr Mandi,I was excited as I will be learning my lessons by doing it. And the day came when I meet him, within the few minutes I got to know his unique learning methodologies,ideas,thinking.The unique concept of ‘Mandi’ and ‘Humara Dhanda’ fascinated me and I was inspired to do something on my own.

  

Lighting the fire...

The unconventional way of delivering lecture helped me to experience the 'Gurukul way of Learning'. Rather than taking the help of books, Dr T Prasad took toys based on principals of physics like 'Newton Cradle' and 'Toy bird balancing on center of gravity',world map in a ball to teach us business lessons.These toys were simple yet created a lot of curiosity.He also talked about the market size of these toys, how much sell our senior had done,what was the learning.

The 'Newton Cradle' demonstrating conservation of momentum and energy via a series of swinging spheres. When one on the end is lifted and released, the resulting force travels through the line and pushes the last one upward, and similarly 'Toy bird balancing on center of gravity' teaches a lot of lesson to students.

Aaj ki Roti Aaj hi Kamaenge...

Dr T Prasad lecture “Aaj ki Roti Aaj hi Kamaenge”, that is we will earn our food today only and his slogan, “Socho Becho!!  Becho Seekho !! Seekho Socho !! Socho Becho” was the summary of lecture which integrated basic economics, marketing, basic market research with practical application . This is going to be a life log lesson.
