Before joining NITIE, I always waited for the day when I can actually use my studies in real life. My long waiting came to an end when Prof T. Prasad walked in to take Organisational behavior and human resource lecture. He took a few seconds to offload his bag, remove his slippers and sat cross-legged merrily looking at us. After an awkward silence, he asked us to sit around him and we all concur. He wanted us to ask questions about anything we wanted to know. Most of them were asked regarding “Maha-Mandi”, whose creator Prof T. Prasad, Also famous as, Prof MANDI took us through concept, idea and experience of it. He then briefed, demonstrated and explained us with idea of "Socho Becho seekho Socho" - "Think Sell learn Think'.

Afterwards, Class took a new turn when he got some things out from his bag. It was like gifts. Everyone got excited and there was a sudden rush for learning in the class. To name a few, A squeeze ball with a world map on it, a hand driven torch and printed blocks. He formed different group of students and asked each one of us to sell those gifts. After all, the purpose of a business is to make money by selling something. He told us what NITIE offered us in terms of education and monetary investments. About how little a sum it is compared to what we would be getting in return. He emphasized on getting practical knowledge , out there in the streets, being smart. Meeting people there, in the streets, understanding what they want. He demonstrated it and inspired us to came up with original ideas that can make customer to invest upon your product.

It is surreal experience to attend a lecture where one can play, participate, sit on tables,clap, bid and enjoy while learning a Post-graduate subject course. It is unconventional. I never thought learning can be so much fun. I can earn while learning. It is a complete value addition to my knowledge base.
