Awesome Profs

This term was one where my CG has taken a plunge, and the dive is continuing. But then this term was also a term wherein we got an opportunity to learn from 2 awesome profs, Prof. Saral Mukherjee, and Prof. A.K.Jain.

Saral Da, as i have already mentioned in many of my blogs, is one great teacher. He teaches one of the most hated...ok lemme be euphemistic....least loved subjects in IIMA, namely Operations Management II. Its one subject where people screw up by the dozen. But still he has been getting the best prof award (nominated by students) for 2 yrs back to back now.
Why?
His classes are amazing. THe kind of insights he gives, the direction in which he makes u think, his songs in the class, his flawless switching between humour n serious discussion......at the very least....is GOD LEVEL (iima lingo).

Prof. A.K.Jain, also known as Jain Baba by many students. He is one adorable prof. As one of my groupies puts it, he just like those cute grandfathers whom u want to go and hug. A prof who is gonna push u to think, n think n think more. He will give u the pointers, u have to follow them up.
He teaches the subject marketing, but then his classes are nothing less than a shot of management as a whole. He has revived the interest of many in marketing again, me being one of them.
Also an instructor who wont take any crap. U start an answer n he will cut u short after two words if wat u r answerin is crap.
And last but not the least, his advices on life (and that can be implemented in management too) are just so simple and yet so profound. Eg. Never do something out of fear, I say (I say is a typical Prof. Jain phrase), not even submission of decision sheets because of the fear that i will shout at u in class :o)

Its been a great experience learning from them.
