Sales and Distribution Managment

I had my Sales and Distribution Management examination today. The question paper was infact a small case, with 2 small paragraphs of description and 5 exhibits. I simply liked the paper. When it came to testing students, it tested most of the things taught to us during the course. (I plan to scan the paper and share here). Apart from that it showed how much information some field data can provide.

SDM has been one of the best marketing course I had at XLRI. Thank you, Prof. Venugopal and Prof. Govindrajan.

Crunch Time

Time seem to be moving very fast. It just few months before campus life ends. More I think about it, more I feel insecure and distressed. Not that I am worried about my placements.

I am afraid of making “choice”. Soon I would asked to make decisions. Decisions which can make my life or leave me with regret. I thought, this two years stay (hiding from outside world) would give me time to think and reflect upon myself. I still havent found any directions.

Right now focusing on short term goals. Many things to be done before I leave campus. Plan to run 15 km this week. No plans yet made for possible Melghat sanctuary trip in the term break. Need to plan something for the christmas holidays. I havent followed up on Basic Mountaineering course with NIM or Darjeeling Institute. If not BMC, a long trek needs to be planned. I have registered for Spanish course next term, if it happens I would be completing one more of my 43 things.

Have two exams tomorrow; but dont feel like studying. Last 4 papers, did not study for more than few hours each. Somehow I lost the competitive spirit. Is this aging? ;)

12.5 km

Last week I touched 10 km mark. This week I planned to run bit extra. Had planned this run today. Proper diet and sleep a day before helped. There was a lecture rescheduled in the evening which was communicated to us very late. Bunked the lecture and went for the planned run.

Started running at a very steady pace, infact was running at the same pace till the end. Took 2 stops in way to drink water. Comfortably completed 12.5 kms (run the route http://treksee.com/p/6kv)  in about 70 minutes. Had a very rapid recovery. Looking forward for day tomorrow how my body reacts.

Have 2 quizzes too early morning and a end term in evening.

I need to drink more water deliberately. It will harm me in long run. Currently I drink less than 2-3 glasses a day.

Elective courses

My elective courses @ XLRI

I require atleast 6 elective couses from one area to specialize in. I now have option to choose between Finance and Strategy as my major area of specialization.
