We prepared our ideas the next day for presentation. In the mean time were introduced to two new members from K.J.Somaiyya College.
Our ideas were heard upon in silence. We thought, we are through to have a project to work on with the topics at hand.
To our surprise, Nolly Sir and Sanjay Sir both pointed out numerous flaws. They explained that having an idea is just not enough. Only when there are ways to implement it, things should be worked upon.
I think it was a defeatist approach, but with my empty cup there was a lot to learn for me.
I learnt:
Our flaws were turned into questions; questions that were to be answered in 5 hours, plus when things seemed comfortable, we had to come up with 10 new ideas.
Pooof!!! We realized that we had to now climb a steep mountain wearing dancing shoes..
Do I mention the results at the end of the day???
Sir, at the end of the day explained in his deep voice, that he understood fully that the task cannot be completed, because he wanted us to learn a very important lesson about systems approach
I learnt:
He said and I learnt:
In the next two posts I'll put down all my observations
Finally, the best part saved for the last
Sanjay Sir made a rejected idea work successfully on paper.
I learnt a very very important thing:

I learnt:
One must always define the scope of project and the number of people it influences directly or indirectlyWe still didn't have any clear idea. Things were all gray and we were again back to the starting line.

I learnt:
One must fully understand a system, the time that should be spent on it before undertaking the systemHe asked many more fundamental questions, answers to which were nowhere close to correct
He said and I learnt:
Reading is very very essential in life. It updates the most common happenings around which are always opportunities for growth.He then assigned almost six to seven tasks to us. To accomplish all of them, I had to stay up late till 2:30 am and slept very little. With just three hours of sleep.. i was a... zombie
