The learning era begun

            In my four years of engineering life,I would ve taken on duty (popularly called as OD) for nearly 40 odd days just by getting a permission letter signed for some seminar or another.But to the point of fact I have not attended  a single one out of those.Even if the department arranges for a guest lecture or so,I would be the first one to find all possible reasons to bunk it in some way or another..            
         But today things have changed,right from the day of joining the Madras school of social work(MSSW) I have attended all de seminars n lectures with all of my interest, the best part of these two months was the ISTD conference which I attended the past two days.

       It was a convention hosted by the Indian Society for Training and Development(ISTD) in association with the Society for Human Resource Management(SHRM).The event was for both the professionals as well as the students.The focus point of the conference was the GEN Y and its attributes.The conference had eighteen high end dignitaries,fourteen of them with presentations related to Gen Y and four of them formed a panel for discussion.

                                                       
      Now back to my views.. For the first time attending a corporate event which was so well-organized was in deed the best learning experience.The lectures were made as interesting as possible.The styles of communication and the attitudes of the speakers were really inspiring and interesting too.One thing that  constantly held my attention was the topic.Being a Gen Y er I was able to relate myself to every aspect they spoke about.For the past quiet some time I have been wondering about,where does my concentration stand ? and recently with this engagement have found a positive answer for it too.
       As students we were treated with a high opinion,the networking with the people who are already leading the industry was exciting.The way they responded and got along with us was very motivating.
        My first  experience in an industrial event was really prolific n also made me think that how much more fruitful it would have been if i would have used those 40 days in a proper way.The answer that instantly struck to my mind  was "MAHRM is your choice indeed"
