Gurgaon Schools Review - My experiences with Nursery admission process

Image
Hey There!! Before I start getting into details of the admission process I would like to share the reason why I am writing this post. While researching about the schools for my boy I reached out to friends who have kids in schools, read through blogs and posts, requested feedback on FB forums where people have shared their personal experiences and I really thank them all in helping me out with information. So I feel obliged to do the same and share mine. I had not gone through process for many schools since we finalized quite soon so below are schools I would be talking about 1. Lotus Valley International School- Nirvana County, Gurgaon 2. Scottish High International School - Sushant Lok, Gurgaon 3.

Back Home after sabbatical

One year of study break over and I am back home, as Timmu will put it its time for “Gulgaon Chale”.It’s been a good break to dedicate an year for post graduation and to put it in the most cliche MBA terms it really gave me a “holistic view” of business and organizations. But it was for sure a good learning experience and I really enjoyed it. Thanks all for making it an eventful year!!

Tim Tales

Timmu just picked up R's passport, me in an attempt to divert him and my compulsive habit to try to teach him show him the lion symbol on it. Me : Tim, see this lion symbol that's national emblem of India Tim: haa mujhko yeh bahut achha lagta hai Me: You have seen this before? Tim: Yes, it on coin also na Moral : Kids are learning anyways even when we r not trying to preach and teach :)

We also have our trophy Tim to boast about who gives us wonderful moments of absolute bliss and happiness along with testing times to our perseverance and patience. Have a wonderful Day today and days ahead!

What should I do with your CRM programs??

Almost 9 months into my MBA it is my moral obligation to post something on my learning( if any) till now...No No.. I am not surrendering to this obligation but just putting across a thought after reading all stuff that shouts out aloud about importance of customer relationship programs (yes I have just been through a CRM exam paper today, so may be this is an after effect). Marketers today are focusing on retaining and nurturing most profitable customers, launching targeted campaigns and trying to create segments and micro segment customers.Guys! I don't deny your forward looking efforts and the potential that such programs have but my recent experiences have not been too encouraging.I am not worthy to comment on all industries but this is specifically with context to multi-branded fashion retailers in India. If I look at myself, I am a customer and member of many loyalty programs and few ones I value most in this segment are shoppers stop, central, pan...

I wanted to Live :(

Our city Dilwaalo ki Delhi has been witness to continuous torture, disrespect and discrimination against women, but one night of Dec 16 2012 this city witnessed a horrific crime of gang rape and immense brutality against a young girl.The city woke up to grief and shock at the extent to which animal instincts can take over some men who can treat a living human being like trash.The girl who just ran into immense bad luck that she and her friend boarded a charted bus unaware of what life has in store for them.Whole city felt the pain, grief and anger imagining the fate the girl had gone through.She battled for 13 days...battled against all hopes because she wanted to live, she wanted to live for her parents, for her brothers and to enjoy the whole life ahead, to live the dreams she had treasured and worked towards in last 23 years of her life...she so much wanted to live.But some men just took her life away, for a momentary joy ride, for a thrill ? My heart goes out at what she...
