In Da hOod:

Just 2 days left for "In da hood"(LIBArated '10). Hope the fierce but healthy competition between seniors and juniors continue this year too. Last two years the two major events where Dance competition and Fashion show. It was always like seniors win one and juniors win the other :D. Let us see if some thing changes this year. To know theme for both the events check the posters below. In fact there are three but third, singing used to be a dull event.

 Hope singing comp. is different this time

[Good poster design by Circle].










Every Individual is a brand:

This section is meant to show case the talents that is present in LIBA to outside world. [Mostly on Extra-curricular activities] .

Kavitha in Action --> Little editing involved in this pic. :)

Today it is about two dancers. I believe studies + professional dancing is a deadly combo. To excel in both needs lot of dedication and talent. One is "Circle" head Kavitha and other one is Martina Robert. I knew Kavitha(2009-11) as a dancer before but Martina(2009-11) was a total surprise. To be part of John Britto dance Co.[One of the best in chennai] is awesome. Hope both of them continue to entertain and excel.

Martina is part of this dance school

I wish Kavitha along with her team could rip the stage with a hippy dance on 23rd. But her leg injury and Aloma's food poisoning has not helped the second years. Hope they get better soon. They did a wonderful show last year. To know about few LIBArated '09 events click here.   "Circle" seems to get better year after year.




Dia/2 - positive social change by leveraging management techniques:

Actually the content below should have been listed in Dia/2 blog. Due to the reason that we in "Pandoras Box" are also "Socially Responsible" in entertaining people I thought I would mention about few activities done by Dia/2 - Social responsibility wing of LIBA. :P . It was when Dia/2 member Jebaston came to me to collect some funds I came to know the initiative taken by our batch people[2008-10] has been really fruitful and now they have increased the number of activities done by the club. In fact they have done way too much activities in the very little they get. They need appreciation for the wonderful work.


Dia/2 team along with other students(more than 35 students) have gone to Mithra home for differently-abled and had spent time with them.[Time is the most precious thing you can give when you are in LIBA]. Then Dia/2 has conducted competition for women Self help group in association with TI cycles and so on. Jebaston was so happy that he received an appreciation mail from Fr.Christie for Dia/2's work. Come on guys! keep up the good work. Make LIBA proud.

The active members of Dia/2 who found time in spite of their busy schedule are:
Organized by : Mellwyn, Ashok, Amal, Jebaston, Priya, Jitha and few others
Supported by:
Sabhanathan, Deepak Martin, Padamanaban, Susil, Rotney,Janet, Deepak Saravan,
Jagannath, Binu Vargese, Divya and so on.
Prof. support : Victor Louis Anthuvan M.Com Ph.D

Few Activites by Dia/2. The kids are having good time poking Benoy(LB). 

A sincere thanks from Dia/2 to above mentioned and other people who came to any of the activities conducted by the team. Also special thanks to all the Donors.
 [Note : I could only get few names. I am sure there are many more major contributors]

Visit to Mithra - Noble cause

Dia/2 members if you are reading this please do me a favor. If you guys can tell me what is the management technique you guys are using to achieve social change like you have mentioned in the blog write it is as a comment.[I got the heading from your blog ;)]. It will be really useful for the other MBA people to use it in other activities.
Is truth ugly:
  Have we ever realized when we think that we truly love a person, actually it turns out to be only an obsession towards his/her certain qualities or appearance. Every movie we see, every incidents we hear about gives a totally different angle to love. Here is a acid test to know whether you really love that person. Check how many times you have done constructive criticism on the person you love. How many times your mom had scolded you for something but at the end of the day you realize that it was for your good. Do we act like our mom, in our relationship or with friends. I am sure no one would like to be criticized but if we love someone we should care and want that person to become a better person. Constructive criticism plays a vital role in this.

Constructive criticism is essential because of the reason that our loved ones need to be better person. Ideal stage would be when it happens mutually. But if it isn't happening till now start today. You make the initial attempt. Most of the time our criticism is just to prove a point and has absolutely no purpose. E.g. We criticize politicians for not excelling in the their department/for being mediocre but some of us can remain the same way in life with no urge for excellence. Put maximum effort in whatever you do and that way you could have added some value rather than pointing fingers and trying to be hero's.


Gossip Factory: (May or may not be true)


1. It looks like Ms.KMC has won so many hearts both in LIBA and elsewhere.
2. Now in Europe, Indian guy has got some new changes reportedly. He seems to taste wine after food ;) and also seem to have put his hand around one of the ex-change girl for a picture. For a conservative guy even this seems like a big accomplishment. Hope he doesn't say to people "Man! Pick some girls, lets go and party" when he returns :)
 3.  Ex-Vital committee member and currently "outside India member" seems to have gone for the trip on a mission. Hope he/she finds what he/she wants.



Note :PLEASE take the "Hippiest  Prof of LIBA" poll on the right hand side. Winner gets "Da Hood Prof" prize. :) Nobody will know who is voting. This poll is not to disrespect anybody. We in "Pandoras Box" respect each professors for their valuable contribution they are making to LIBA.
