We have a Presentation for PAEV (Planning an Entrepreneurial Venture) project tomorrow, where we have to present our ideas and defend our venture against 3 other teams who will act as potential investors..Sounds interesting…So to the story, We had to prepare a PPT. Myself, S and N started preparing PPT at 10:30 and winded up by 12:00! The session was ‘highly’ productive. N has many things to be admired about. He says time constraint is the factor which pushes him to think fast and be on his toes. I never looked at time constraint that way…That was a paradigm shift..He has never suffered from “Perfectionist Syndrome” in life…I had major Perfection syndrome before ISB, but I have gradually evolved now to make compromises…

So, S pitched in and said about the change that MBA brings in a person…”To shed the Perfection syndrome”. By the time one graduates out of an intense B-school experience, he/she will understand that the world is full of constraints and no longer will feel burdened by constraints, but rather feel motivated by it…This has been the opinion of 2-3 alums that I have talked with. They compare their pre-ISB experience and post-ISB experience and notice this ability to work ‘well’ under constraints and pressure as a winning change…

Another interesting story in ISB…somedays back, the word “Ganguly” was officially added to OXford dictionary. The word means “To come in and go out quickly”. On similar lines, ISBians have coined three terms! Koshied, Kundoed and Mojoed (Based on the last names)

Koshied - One who bids very high and wins all the courses (and ends up having lesser points for future courses!)
Kundoed - One who bids high and still ends up winning no courses. (This can be generically applied to people who bid rationally and lost all the courses…so I can say I am kundoed in 4 courses )
Mojoed - One who gets all the courses with a minimum point of 1 for each course!! (If a course is undersubscribed he will be charged only one point). I mojoed in one course

So, one can listen to talks like “People who are kundoed this term will be koshieing next term…People who koshied this term will be kundoed sometime in future term(s)..Mojoeing needs a factor of luck, as you can’t guess which course will be undersubscribed”…Creativity at full flow…ISBians are good at spamming…there are many such spams…
