The freshers to various courses of 2010 batch were given a formal welcome party on Saturday, 25th September, 2010 at the times business school campus.

Held on the rooftop of the campus, the event started in the evening sunset with Shashank and Kushambi hosting the program. Miss Gunjan began with the Vandana, after which the evening of music and fun continued.  

Next was a surprising and entertaining impersonation of Prof.Hans given by Shashank which was enjoyed by all present...and those that saw the video later....I must add. Joheb also once again entertained us with his amazing talent for shayari.

Then came the most awaited round ......the Competition for Mr. and Ms. Fresher title. After discovering that there were quite a few talented dancers and singers in the new batch, the performers had to be short listed to a selected few who were outstanding. There were 3 rounds First the introduction round, 2^nd the Show your talent round and 3^rd the  Questions and Answers round.

Ultimately it was Mr.Aishwarya Shah and Ms.Kritika Pradhan who proved that they had the right moves to make them the winners.

Last came the long awaited jam session which was enjoyed by both seniors and juniors alike and the dj played on and on for hrs.... 

If anyone has any pics do updated them and post your comments.

Times Business School on Delhi Metro Route

The tbs staff were pleasantly surprised last week as we rushed out to see the metro train on trial runs from lajpat Nagar to Nehru Place. The Delhi Metro had extended the trial runs on the Central Secretariat-Badarpur corridor from Nehru Place to Okhla stations and the line would be launched  by this month-end. So by 30th September, the students of tbs would be connected to the rest of Delhi by the super-fast metro network. So no more traffic jams, no traveling hassles and no more buses or autos..

The new Violet Line would have to be changed at Central Secretariat and would have the following stops: Khan Market, Lodhi Colony,Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Lajpat Nagar, Moolchand, Kailash Colony,Nehru Place, Kalkaji, Okhla, Jasola,Sarita Vihar,Mohan Estate, Tughlakabad, Badarpur. 

So now if you want to shop at GIP in Noida, eat at C.P.  or just hang out at Lajpat nagar, it would be just minutes away....chill-out time is coming up guys!...

Farewell of MBA 2008 Batch

Times Business School wished the MBA 08 Batch Students Adieu on Monday, at the Intercontinental Grand at Nehru Place.

As per the dress code the guys were in black and the ladies were in red...though there were a few rebels in blues and whites as well...

The function started at 8pm sharp and began with prayers and the lighting of the lamp.This was followed by an interaction with the audience present. The Faculty and staff were in for a bit of a surprise as they were part of a well coordinated game to make them dance, sing or just to entertain...

Mr.and Ms.MBA titles were given to  the students along with other titles.

All departed after a delicious dinner, with a bit of sadness in one's hearts for the MBA's leaving us .....but high hopes for all their future endeavors......

All the best to you MBA Batch 2008! Do us proud!

International Woman’s Day

8th March, 2010 being International Woman’s Day was a day of awareness for us as we visited the Panel Discussion function of the United Nations Development Programme. At the venue the former Prime Minister of New Zealand and UNDP Administrator Helen Clark presented the “Report: Power, Voice and Rights: A Turning Point for Gender Equality in Asia and the Pacific. This has been one of the most detailed reports to be presented 10 year after the MDG’s were declared by the United Nations.

Ms.Helen Clark said at the venue that “Empowering women is vital for achieving development goals overall, and for boosting economic growth and sustainable development,” “Policy needs to advance gender equality, so that women as well as men can benefit from job creation and investments in social infrastructure,” she said.

The Report focuses on three key areas — economic power, political decision-making and legal rights. The report strives to analyze what holds women back, and how policies and attitudes can be changed to foster a climb toward gender equality. Asia, the Report asserts, is standing at a cross-road and by putting the right policies in place now, countries in the region can achieve positive change.

At the event an empowered woman Sarpanch Naurki Bai spoke of her struggles in achieving political power in her village whereby she gained the support of the entire village and neighboring villages, without bribing men with ‘daru’.

Another woman who stated that she was HIV positive spoke of how she would continue to be empowered no matter how much stigma would be directed towards her.

Dr.Syeda Hameed, Member Planning Commission spoke about the women’s struggle for 33% reservation in Parliament and further spoke about the various obstacles in the path of women’s development.
She also spoke about empowerment by quoting from the sufi texts which were truly suited the moment:

Don't walk around with an empty bucket.
You have a channel into the Ocean, and yet
You ask for water from a little pool.
There is a basket of fresh bread on your head,
and yet you go door to door asking for crusts.
Knock on your inner door. No other.
Sloshing knee-deep in fresh river water, yet
you keep wanting a drink from other people's water bags.
Water is everywhere around you, but you only see
Barriers that keep you from water.

Being part of this function was quite a good learning experience and definitely more tbsians should be part of such activities in the future.

JIM CORBETT NATIONAL PARK

Jim Corbett National Park lies in the Nainital, Pauri Garwhal and Bijnore Districts of Uttaranchal.

The present area of the Reserve is 1318.54 sq. km. including 520 sq. km. of core area and 797.72 sq. km. of buffer area. The core area forms the Jim Corbett National Park while the buffer contains reserve forests (496.54 sq.km.) as well as the Sonanadi Wildlife Sanctuary (301.18 sq.km.)


The core is bounded to the North by the Kanda Ridge, with a height of 1043 m at its highest point. The entire area of the reserve is mountainous and falls in the Shivalik and Outer Himalaya geological region. It forms the catchment area of the Ramganga, a tributary of the Ganga.

The Ramganga flows from East to West in the reserve through landscapes of incredible beauty. Dammed at Kalagarh at the south-western end of the reserve in 1974. The reservoir created, submerged 40-sq. km. of prime grassland. The area on the western side of the reservoir now constitutes the Sonanadi Wildlife Sanctuary.

After India attained independence in 1947 the park was renamed as Ramganga National Park. In 1956, it was renamed as Jim Corbett National Park, in memory of Jim Corbett. Project Tiger, India's ambitious conservation program to save the tiger and its habitat was launched from Corbett in 1973.

CAT Examination looses value

The latest Press release issued by IIM Ahmedabad today has announced that the “CAT 2009 result declaration has been deferred to end of February 2010”. Many of the CAT 2009 test takers were expecting the results to come out either today or tomorrow, as the IIMs had earlier announced that the results would be declared by the third week of February 2010.

This delay and uncertainty is raising the anxiety level of the CAT 2009 candidates. Thus many MBA aspirants are this year considering the MAT or the Management Aptitude Test and not the Common Admission Test to get admission in some of the top management institutes.

The MAT exam is held four times a year and is quite convenient to prepare for. Those who took the MAT exam in December were given their results within a month’s time. The results of the CAT exam though conducted in the same month have been delayed by yet another week…..So the results would be declared even after the next MAT....that is the February MAT results come out.

Due to this delay of the CAT results many MBA aspirants who have quit their jobs may have to take admission on the basis of scores of either the December or the upcoming February MAT results. The chaos that marked CAT online exams prompted many to not wait for the results, but to look for other opportunities.

Due to the failure of the online CAT there are also reports coming in that some non-IIM colleges are not considering CAT scores too seriously. This entire tedious process of the CAT 2009 has led to change of plans among many MBA aspirants. Those who thought of taking CAT next year are now apprehensive due to the unsatisfactory turn of events. They are now considering the MAT exam and other entrance tests to a greater extent. The CAT may finally be loosing its status as the ultimate MBA entrance test.
