INITIATIVE FOR A CAUSE

Manipal University(Media n Entertainment) has a taken an initiative to make everyone aware about the IPR(Intellectual Property Rights).
We are organizing a confrence on IPR on 13th of May 2011 inviting the Media Corporates, Students and other corporates. IPR is a very crucial topic to understand whether it is Media industry or any other industry. The confrence is an intiative taken by Manipal University to make people aware about the issues related to IPR which includes copyright issues, trademarks and geographical indicators so that people can become aware about all the issues which are being faced by the industries.
This conference is an initiative or I would rather say an awareness programme to make the industry people aware about the "Intellectual Property Rights" to avoid hassels related to IPR issues.The conference is known as "CONCLAVE 2011".
I really appreciate the initiative taken by the University n hope that it will be a grand success and hope that such kind of initiative will also be taken by the University in future coz these initiative is not just about organizing a conference but it is about making people aware about the issues that people are facing in the industries dese dayz.

The week that was ...

Hi folks

The previous week was quite an eventful one indeed ... Here are some notes on Week 4 of the 2nd sem :)

• First was the session on personality development by a renowned psychiatrist and Krish Sir's co-brother. The session was more a 'gyaan' on how to manage relationships. It was interactive but, what was the purpose of having such a session for MBA aspirants?. Nevertheless, a different initiative.
• Next up were the demo yoga sessions taken by our very own Ganapathy Murugesan. Few people have been very much benefited by the 'gyaan' that Ganapathy gave about breathing, flexibility etc etc 
• Next on Friday, there was no 'gyaan' but just full on masti at the Talent Show conducted by the cultural committee. Students from both MBA and BSC, were literally competing with each other to show who had the better talent. Great time. In fact the most enjoyable day of this semester till date. 
• On Saturday there were no sessions but just a movie screening. 'Manasaare' featuring Kannada cinema heartthrob Diganth. The movie was light hearted and mostly enjoyable. 

On the whole, a nice week. Hoping for more such weeks of masti and gyaan :)

Cheers

"Abke le aa oo" ... Here it comes

Hi folks

Our World Cup promo video's first look ...

Hi folks

The bonus at today's New Sense Inauguration was the first look at the World Cup promo, shot by our class friends led by Bruce, Angad and co.

It was AWESOME. looked very professional.

My personal opinion is it could have been made more cricket related. This looked more like a group of Indians having some fun with the Indian flag. When the purpose is to use this as a cricket WC promo song, it definitely could have had more shots of actual cricket interspersed with the fun and dancing.

But, A GREAT ATTEMPT nevertheless. 3 months of solid hard work shows.

CR Angad rocked the stage with his rendition and his explanation of the lyrics. The man sure is popular and super talented.

Kudos to the entire team

Cheers

"New Sense" Inauguration ...

Hi folks

Hope you guys attended the inauguration of the latest in town, the New Sense committee.  They sure made a lot of enthusiastic sound. Had the style quotient fully ON.

"Nuisance, sorry New Sense" ... in their own words :)

They had the most extravagant committee launch among all the committees. They have planned a lot of activities. Hope they rock, as they have promised. ALL THE BEST TO THEM

Their website looks super cool.

And the music performance by "New to Bengaluru" at the start was good too. Shriram in particular was great.

Do post your comments

The Leadership Session

Hi mates

Hope you all attended the leadership session that was organized during the activity hour today.

I personally felt that the session was too much noise and had nothing that we have not been previously exposed to. The organizer was over enthusiastic

But it was FUN
