Rambler's reflections it is......

Hmmmm, quite a few things happening, now where to begin ....

Yesterday had a marketing management Exam. This teacher is a really interesting fellow. Even though I dont agree with everything he says, but at least his class offers some challenge, some invitation to think creatively, though not enough debate to my liking. In one of the very first classes i asked him, if he thought marketing was more a science than art. Of course it was a leading question, cause I have felt through numerous classes, that teachers tend to treat creative stuff as sciences too. If things had been so structured and predictable, as a scientific approach would assume, wouldnt that be the end of creativity itself. He partially agreed with me, but made an interesting observation. The guy said, that it is much easier to teach science than art, so at least in an academic enviornment it is treated more as an exact science.

Anyways had an hourly yesterday for the same course. And the teacher asked us not to mention our names on our papers. Instead, we were to write either nick names or anything, that would just enable us to recognise our own copies once they were checked. Now that was pretty simple but havent heard of that before. On the one end, it curbed any individual bias, which i dont thin would have risen in the first case anyways. but it also prompted us to start on a creative foot, up front. I thought for a while. First thought of writing my pet name at home, which is shehzad or even shazu when i was a toddler. next thought about writing a 'relaisitic critic', which is how I have come to define myself for a while now. 'Energy' jumped in as a contender too. Finally decided on 'Rambler's Reflections', hehehehehe, yea the name of the blog itself. though felt for a minute if that would convey a notion of carelessness, cause that would be the first thing he would note. But then thought what the heck, had to get started with the paper itself too :D

The Thailand trip seems to be a bit dodgy now, will probably not materialise. Though Bahrain still seems on. I guess office is planning to cut down on the cost of travel, so lesser people going now. But cant be certain as they have sent the passports for the visa and also booked the tickets, so could go either way. Wouldnt be certain till its time to go. Lets see......
