Holi-Day!
Holi was celebrated on the morning of the 20th March, 2011 at our Singapore campus near the parking lot.
True to tradition, lots of colours were dispersed on its participants!
Snacks served included samosas, jalebis and the delicious thandai!
As everyone danced, people were apparently unaware of the many onlookers from the Henderson Waves bridge who also enjoyed watching our colourful celebration.
Overall it was great fun and the memories will remain long after the colours wash from our hands and faces!
Special Thanks to the organizers: Prateek Agarwal, Prateek Kothari, Sakshi Sood and Gautam Khaitan.
Regards,

While packing your bags to Dubai ..
Here are a few things that you can get with you before starting to SP Jain, Dubai.
1) Microwave safe plastic containers and microwave safe ceramic bowls/plates ( Good Quality ones are a bit on the expensive side. If you have space, bring these ! )
2) A couple of spoons, knife, scissors and forks would help
2) Notebooks and stationary (it is comparatively expensive out here)
3) Rope to hang clothes and a few hangers as well
4) One suit would do for the first leg. Carry two only for the second leg
5) Basic medicines and balms
6) Indian Masala Maggi fans, get your stock from India! The maggi here has a very different flavor and not well liked by a lot of us here.
And, the following is for your info.
Toiletries and Cosmetics are available here at almost the same price elsewhere. So don’t bother carrying it along with you. Could save significant space in your baggage!
A washing machine, a refrigerator, a bread toaster and a microwave is available in all rooms in Dubai.
French supermarket Carrefour Express is available in the ground floor of our apartment. It’s just an elevator away! Prices are nominal and you get bread, apples and all you want!
For anymore specific info, shoot an e-mail!

My MBA Story… So Far!

List of Committees and Clubs
The Industry Interface Committee (IICom)
The Industry Interface Committee at SPJCM is directed towards creating a higher degree of exposure to the real corporate environment and challenges among the GMBA’s in both Singapore and Dubai. The Industry Interface Initiative under the GMBA program has two unique components: ARP (Applied Research Project) and ALP (Action Learning Program) engaged during semester 1 and semester 2 respectively. A typical GMBA candidate enters in ARP phase as a researcher and emerges from ALP phase as a capable decision-maker, advisor and team player.
The Sports Committee (SportsCom)
A long and anxious wait combined with repeated cross checking and announcements about a Table Tennis tournament marked the start of the day. But all the anxiety ended in a gripping finale, and the cheering audience, was our trophy to mark the commencement of the first Sports event for the November 2010 batch. I cannot think of a better day to write about The Sports Committee.
The Sports Committee is coordinated by the designated members, but in it true essence it is formed by all of us together. Through sports we want to bring out a channel of networking and interaction between people. Sports have the ability to help us know each other better. When we play together, we have fun, we strive for our team, we cheer for our team, we support our team, we learn from each other and at the end of the day we celebrate together as one Family.
Sports can make a difference and with the following quote we are off to a start an Athletic Journey. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to unite in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination” – Nelson Mandela
The Placement Committee (PlaCom)
It’s a mixed feeling to give life the permission to take a reverse gear.. from being professionals back to students … its happiness, anxiety and fun all at the same time … from working professional spending hours and hours at work with all the responsibility, financial independence, pressure of deadlines and late night meetings we have moved back to student life with even more pressure but the question is ..why we have given this permission to our lives … lets give a moment to think on it and yes we get the answer right there ..it’s because we want to turn our lives again..we want to live the dream which each one of us has seen each single day.. this time the turn is towards taking our careers to new heights , new destinations, defining new horizons and the PlaCom Nov'10 is here with the batch in making that dream a reality

Friend
Friend
One day morning
I sit under the sunshine
Have a cup of tea
And close my eyes try to listen to my heart
Think about an old topic
What is friend?
Friend is the one
Who sits next to you when you feel lonely
Friend is the one
Who can read your eyes when you feel down
Friend is the one
Who can give you a will to go through when you feel desperate
Friend is the one
Who can give you an umbrella when you are in the rain of tears
Friend
Could be anywhere
No language barriers
Because a smile from heart is the best communication
No culture block
Because understanding is the best way to bridge differences
No national borders
Because no matter how far the geographical distance is
You can still find the one
Who have the same feeling, same value, and the same personality
This even surprised me
Everyday,
I learn from my friends
Moved by my friends
And share with my friends
When the weather cold enough
I can play with snows
When the sky dark enough
I can see the stars
When the ice is thick enough
I can cross the river
And also,
When the days are tough enough
I can find the real friends
Thanks to my friends
My life has became colorful than ever
What is friend?
Friend is ……
Everything
