Why PGDM...???


I always wanted to do PGDM because it is simply a professional approach which basically concentrate on real time analysis,current situations and case studies. A PGDM fuels the aspirants with its activity-packed semesters and produces a new breed of future management professionals/entrepreneurs. More importantly, they offer high value-added courses and interesting workshops to enhance the employ ability of the students and to brush-up their life skills. Hence the course focuses not only on academics but also on personal, as well as, professional dimensions of a student.Also PGDM is designed and developed by the college and is far more flexible in its curriculum design. This flexibility makes it possible for the college to continuously upgrade and improve the curriculum.  This makes the PGDM far more industry oriented.PGDM course plays a pivotal role by making the students fit to face the challenges of the changing industry scenario. It encourages their creativity, enhances core capabilities and imparts specific skills. An MBA is for those who seek a university programme to get a holistic view of the programme while the PGDM is for those who seek specialization in the area of their interest. As a whole PGDM course is a hot option among management aspirants , be it a graduate straight out of the college or a working professional  wanting to develop/enhance his or her managerial or entrepreneurial skills. so i chose PGDM to MBA. 

why pgdm ????


    Management is the life of many activities. I strongly feel that technical and managerial aspects within an organization go hand in hand. Coming from an IT background helped me enhance my logical and analytical abilities. My active participation in various activities in college helped me imbibe leadership skills. My long term objective is to become an entrepreneur and to take my dad’s business to great heights. For which, I need to gain more business knowledge to pursue a career path that would help me understand fully the business processes in an organization and take part in strategic business decisions in the organization. To achieve this along with self-development, one has to understand the depths and core of management. Thus I need to complement my technological skills with a management degree from an esteemed institute like PSGIM. A management degree will equip me with sound management practices which will fill in the hiatus in my professional career. I believe that PGDM with its exposure to real life situations where managerial skills are tested can provide me with the right platform to acquire all the skills that are required to fulfill my dream.

I Wandered lonely as a cloud....

Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils. 
William Wordsworth

In this poem the poet from the very beginning represents the idea of loneliness.The poet thinks of himself as a cloud in the sense of being free.Suddenly, in his solitude while the poet was walking lonely, he saw unlimited number of golden daffodils.The poet’s loneliness was replaced by joy after seeing the daffodils. He remembers the happy dancing of the daffodils and waves while he is lying on his couch. As result, he becomes happy and his heart is filled with pleasure and happiness. contemplation of nature is the source of his happiness even he starts to dance with the daffodils after his heart is filled with pleasure.  Thus this poem represents the beauty of nature and its effect on human beings.

First Day at School

First Day at School
A millionbillionwillion miles from home
Waiting for the bell to go. (To go where?)
Why are they all so big, other children?
So noisy? So much at home they
Must have been born in uniform
Lived all their lives in playgrounds
Spent the years inventing games
That don't let me in. Games
That are rough, that swallow you up.

And the railings.
All around, the railings.
Are they to keep out wolves and monsters?
Things that carry off and eat children?
Things you don't take sweets from?
Perhaps they're to stop us getting out
Running away from the lessins. Lessin.
What does a lessin look like?
Sounds small and slimy.
They keep them in the glassrooms.
Whole rooms made out of glass. Imagine.

I wish I could remember my name
Mummy said it would come in useful.
Like wellies. When there's puddles.
Yellowwellies. I wish she was here.
I think my name is sewn on somewhere
Perhaps the teacher will read it for me.
Tea-cher. The one who makes the tea. 
Roger McGough



The poet portrays about the feeling of young child on his very first day to school who has just been dropped off by his mother in the playground.  The child thinks about the appearance of other children, his hesitation in playing at the playground. The child thinks that the other’s games are rough. Here the poet describes about the nervousness of a child and how the railing around the school seems like a monsters. The misspelled words like “lessins”, “glassrooms” in the poem makes us feel that the poem was written by a child. The poet describes the child's difficulty in remembering his name and he hopes that teacher would read his name.“Tea-cher” makes tea adds a sense of comic relief to the poem.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers


"Hope" is the thing with feathers

"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops—at all—

And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—
And sore must be the storm—
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm—

I've heard it in the chillest land—
And on the strangest Sea—
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me. 
Emily Dickinson


This is extract from poem “Life”. It depicts the image of bird to the idea of hope. The author compares the hope with the feathers which help us to fly. She describes that hope is present inside and something that cannot be formed into words, yet we can feel that. The author portrays that hope is strongest because the storm must be cruel especially for small birds yet hope brings joy and comfort to the people. In contrary anger can cause damage to our happiness. And also can cause pain that hurts to the most. The author explains that hope is present in everyone. It can be felt over strangest sea, coldest lands and even in the worst storms.
