A mail from TURNER INTERNATIONAL, who wishes to recruit for 4 to 5 lakhs is as follows -
Dear Regil,
Please ask the students to come to our Mumbai office in 2 Batches - 11:AM & 12:00 noon
We would like them to make a Presentation on the following topic : “ Introducing CNN to Taj Hotels “. Just a 5 slide presentation. Please ask them not to carry their Laptops we will organize for the same at our end.
Thank you.

The first query comes from my student & in a few minutes over phone.
Hi Regil, Do we have to make a group presentation or individual presentations? Many in the group are confused, and not just me. ;). So, please clarify and mail.
Rejil looks at the wall in front...yeah..exactly like in the Adoor Gopalakrishnan art movie & then looks to the left and then slowly pans towards the right side of the wall. Everything still looks the same, and then sports the same blank look he had, when a student enquired about how to give the measurement of her blouse !
NOTE:
This lethargy of not doing one's own work is the only benefit that group presentations & group work have done to SIMC & definitely not team dynamics. It's definitely heights when students are not ready to prepare an individual presentation, even if it comes with a payment of 5 lakh per annum ! ! !
If not anyone, I have a suggestion - Take a cue from the epic Mahabharata, and like Yudhisthira did, make a group presentation at Turner International considering it as Kunti, and request them to divide the CTC called Draupadi amongst all in the team... & yeah, don't forget to write the ROLL NUMERS, in case they decide to assess us on 20 ASSignment marks ! ! !
