My Dear Cellphone

MY DEAR CELLPHONE

The world of cellphones shrinking day by day

The feeling of togetherness left at the bay

My Samsung, my Apple, Nokia & Sony

Are more dear to me than the family's say

The playgrounds were green, my friends were fun

But now I prefer to play - "Temple Run"

And now that I have fb, twitter in my hand

I have forgot to enjoy - The Setting Sun

The headphones in my ears, say it clear & loud

"Don't talk to me. I hate the crowd!!"

The competition is no more on toys, cds or marks

But my phone is costlier, I'm so very proud

My mother now has dinner all alone

Because my new family, is my dear CELLPHONE!!!!

The Mandi of LIFE

THE MANDI OF LIFE

The days very long, the nights sleepless

What to do for summers, we remain clueless

There comes a man, in the midst of this

He loves you, he gives you a "kiss"

The concepts of POM, their vast universe

You must understand the concept, not mug-up the verse

Whether you cross a valley, or build a tower

Setting a SMART Goal, is the secret power

The 3 Monks of China, come to teach you coordination

You achieve efficiency with team-building and innovation

The Navrang cube has a lot to teach

The root of the organisation, is where you must reach

The methods are different in God's Own Campus

Sometimes it's I, sometimes it's US

Treat Management as your future husband or wife

And learn to sell yourself in the MANDI of life

- Amjad Ali

Toy Puzzle

Toy Puzzle

“The key to life is accepting challenges. Once someone stops doing this, he's dead.” 
― Bette Davis 

A problem that was given to us by Dr. Mandi as part of our principal of management course. To solve this amazing toy, to take the ring out of the slit. And then the fun began. People did try, got bored and went off. Now don't underestimate the curiosity of India's future leaders, because a lot of them came back later and solved it.

Here's how I did it. 

To remove the ring:

• Raise the ring as high as it would go and hold it there.
• Move one of the wooden squares to the other side by passing it through the slit in the top part.
• Bring both the squares together by moving the thread.
• One of the balls will still remain stuck after its square block is taken to other side.
• Lower the ring, tilt it and remove through the slit and the ball.

And to assemble the toy back:

  - Pass the ring through the slit back onto the square

                                     

  - Raise the ring as high as possible.

  - Pass one of the wooden squares through the slit and to it's correct side.

So it can be said that it's not  only important to be a good problem solver, but an excellent identifier as well.

Valley Crossing

Valley Crossing

Sometimes a picture says more than words. When Dr. Prasad started discussing this picture in class, we had little idea that we can learn this much from this picture. We also simulated this activity in classroom. It was a fun filled exercise full of insights.

Organisations are made of Teams. Good Teamwork is essential for high performance in any business.

“Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.” – Michael Jordan

Here, as we see in valley crossing exercise, 3 people have to cross a valley. It is wide enough that they can’t jump to other side. So, they form a Team. They get connected with the help of a pole (metaphor for an organisation). In the end, they are able to cross the valley. It looks simple, but it is not. When we started doing this activity in real, it needed a lot of iterations to complete it successfully. Let me list out the ingredients required for successful completion of this task. These are the same things required for a good team work.

Planning: - We were 3 people. We were provided with a pole and we had to cross the valley. Our 1^st step was  to formulate a plan. The plan should be focused on how we can leverage our strength as a team. 

Proper communication: - Communication is very important both in Planning and executing period. Everybody needs to understand their role clearly. There should be a smooth flow of communication even at the time of executing task. As, we saw during activity, assuming the solution to be simple, people didn't allocate proper time to understand their role clearly. It resulted in bad co-ordination. One person moved one step ahead while other person stood at same place. Effective initial communication can avoid this situation and proper communication during task performance will ensure a successful task 

Responsibility: - Everybody in Team needs to be accountable. Suppose, if one person either in front or back leaves the pole while 2^nd person is hanging in middle, both 2^nd and 3^rd person will not be able to cross the valley.

Trust: - As a Team member, we need to trust other team members. In the valley crossing exercise, if all three people do not trust each other, nobody will get ready to hang on pole in the valley with their life at stake. Trust is build over time and as a manager we must ensure to create an environment where one team member can trust other.

Coordination :- Coordination is the important factor in making the crossing successful. Every team member need to be equidistant. They must move step at same time. They also need to cover equal length in every step. They must be aware of timing when they need to put extra effort, also the amount of extra effort required. For good coordination,Team need to do proper planning, have good communication,take responsibility and trust each other.

Execution and Analysis of the Solution : 

 Before starting with the analysis of the solution, I would like to describe the meaning of the states that I would be using :

·         Safe State : Safe state is the one in which both the feet of the person are on the ground and he is in no danger.

·         Half Risky: Half Risky is the state in which one leg is in the air and the other one on the ground

·         Full Risky: Full risky is the state in which both the legs of the man are in air and his body weight is supported by the other two men.

Persons	First Person	Second Person	Third person
Steps
1	Safe	Safe	Safe
2	Half Risky
3	Full Risky
4	Half Risky	Half Risky
5		Full Risky
6		Half Risky	Half Risky
7			Full Risky
8			Half Risky
9	Safe	Safe	Safe

1) At the first instance , the first person would take a step forward and would have one feet in the air while the other one is on the ground. (Half Risky).

2 )  In the second step the first person would be fully in air and his weight would be supported by the rest of the two persons.

3) In the next step , the second person would be have his front leg in air while the back leg on ground whereas the first person would have his front leg on ground and the back leg in air ( Both in half risky state) .

4) After this step, 2nd person would have both the legs in the air while the 1st person would have reached the other side of the valley and would be safe by now.

5) In the next step , the 2nd person would be in half risky state as one of his leg would be in air while the other one on ground and also the 3rd person would be in the same state.

6) In the subsequent step 2nd person would land on the ground on the other side of the valley whereas the 3rd person would be completely off the ground and his body weight would be on 1st and 2nd person.

7) Following that the 3rd person would now be in half risky state as he puts one of his legs on ground while keeping the other one in air.

8) Finally the 3rd person would also land both his feet on the ground and would be in safe position as would be the other two.
