  That night and on Saturday night was a long ISB reunion. Managed to meet over 30 ISBians in bbay that weekend. Especially since this was to be my last weekend in bbay , I wanted to live it up in style. Didn’t match any of the ISB parties – but it was fun anyway.
Took a cab home from Dadar to powai at 4 in the morning. This city never sleeps – even at that time there were ppl on the roads whom we could ask directions. The Sunday was supposed to be ppt making day. For the first time I encountered the ppt vs acetate split. Apart from the 2 isbians and two others, the rest wanted to use acetates to make the presentation.
Found it very funny, especially considering that I had never used acetates. At ISB we always used ppts. Apparently that was not the case in the IIMs and XLRIs of the world. Most presentations fared on the same scale. Except for one enthu-cutlet who had gone around taking pictures of the retail visits, and used some major graphics in his ppt. Thought it was a total waste of time to do all that, considering that we were supposed to cover 3 days of insights into 5 minutes.
That guy’s ppt went on for some 25 minutes. So long, that all his efforts in creating a good ppt was in vain – after all most ppl close their eyes when yawning . But I must admit, the idea of putting pictures of the shelf space etc was a bloody good one. Full marks to him for effort and enthu.
