Life's Like That

Sometimes you wonder what you are doing and why

There are days when you take things as they come by

Sometimes you pursue your dreams with full force

On some days you let fate take its own course

Smallest of things bring you happiness

Biggest of achievements can't take away that sadness

Sometimes you are high ,exuberant and happy

The very person who is the life of each party

And then there are days when you are in the zone

In midst of people you feel all alone

You feel all grown up, mature and ready to take on the world

But deep down is a child needing a hand to hold

Each day brings new conflict of emotions

Your mind is full of different beliefs and notions

Despite all this you keep moving your way

Coz every few steps comes a brand new day

You learn to resolve this stuff in light chit chats

As you end up realizing Life's like that!

Strategic Creativity

I guess strategy class brings out the creative instincts in me [however bad they might be],particularly for following reasons:

a) you have ample time to kill

b) you hear lot of brilliant phrases which mean nothing to you

c) people around you are either asleep or playing on their phones leaving you alone to amuse yourself

d) and last but not the least, copy and pen is the best ammunition you have at that point of time ( teacher still feels you are taking notes)

So here goes............

Weather outside is so great,

but due to a stoke of bad fate;

we all are here sitting inside,

with bored expressions we can not hide;

Oh you wonder what it maybe,

well people its "Strategy";

And then there is recurring pain,

Every time we see "Value Chain";

Michael Porters' Five Forces,

Seem to come up in all courses;

Just when you are feeling dazed,

Here comes "Competitive Advantage";

But prof just seems to be on a roll,

Focusing on " Vision", "Mission" , "Value" and "Goal";

And one day things got suddenly bright,

When two people got into a fight;

Prof looked at them aghast,

Took it as excuse to end class fast;

Next class on things were normal again,

Toyota and Dell were repeated names;

And then came the first quiz,

We had heard in class , we all wished;

I still have 45 minutes to kill,

But can't find words to fit the bill;

Guess I will listen to "Rivalry in Industry",

Till the clock decides to strike 5:30
