IPMX @ IIM Lucknow

Whenever I think of Harry Potter movie Prisoner of Azkaban, I feel jealous of Hermione, the one who knew each and every charm. Reason is that she had Time Turner and I don’t. It helped her in reversing the time and did whatever she wanted. I can’t. The only thing which I wish at IPMX-IIML is to have a time turner or more time.
Now question is when God has already given 24 hours why I need more. The answer goes back to information I read on IPMX site. It said program is rigorous and all the activities at IPMX-IIML are student driven. After nearly 3 months into the program, I had finally understood that it meant a few hours sleep that too with a guilt feeling of going to sleep with so much balance to do. Biz is what at the centre of the universe for us and we all students buzz around it with plethora of activities.

Activities are many starting from studies, projects, assignments, discussions, finance club, consulting club, strategy club, committees, events , terms kick off get together and many more. Now question is how you see this, as a problem or as an opportunity. Edward De Bono the six hat thinker has said, “Sometimes the situation is only a problem because it is looked at in a certain way. Looked at in another way, the right course of action may be so obvious that the problem no longer exists.” And that is what I learn here. It is all about managing, expanding your horizons, think beyond the limits and stretch (Another buzzword from Management Guru C K Prahlad.) So what drive us here at IPMX? Our drive is strong sense of learning, taking the program forward, building expertise on our experiences and achieving our goals.
The rigor is just not culture over here; it is cult at IPMX-IIML.
Biz, Buzz and Buzy are here to stay may be with small doses of booze.
