Learning by the GURUKUL way

While I was packing my bags for the NITIE, I heard lots of rumours about the kind of environment that I will face in any MBA colleges. Furthermore I was also told by lots of people that how hard the curriculum will be here.

The Desi style of teaching by Dr. Prasad aka Dr. Mandi surely helped me to get in the groove. The first lesson that I learned that Why education is important? He gave us the reason of choosing Education over other things for which you are investing your money? Dr. Mandi told us that it is important to choose between things which can help other to get something useful in return.

Welcome to Gurukul

After sometime Dr. Mandi showed us two toys, one was Newton’s cradle and the other was a simple ball with a World Map printed on it. Using the first toy he helped us to understand how a simple IDEA can be the seed of any business. He also told us the two and three ball theory using the Newton’s cradle.

But even now lots of people were dubious about the second toy, then he told us how that ball can be the source of learning. And in the end of that I understood the idea of “Earning while Learning and Learning while earning”.

The Gurukul way of teaching also taught me that “Seeing a lion in a Safari is more beautiful than seeing one in a Zoo”. In simple term it means that how an environment of free thinking generates more output than a traditional way of thinking.

In the end the my first confrontation with Dr. Mandi strengthen my belief whatever or how many new things will come but still OLD IS GOLD.

So until next time…..Happy Learning. :)
