Arsenal Boosted Up….
06 May 2012 Leave a Comment
When i say ‘Arsenal’, i don’t speak on behalf of A.K.Antony who is doing it to rebuff the details of letter-leak of Gen. Singh nor am i talking about the famed soccer club.. I am talking about a stockpile of books which arrived at DoMS,NIT-Trichy and whose budget is as heavy to DoMS as the Defence budget to the FM(Finance Minister and not Financial Mgmt. ). At a cost of Rs. 3 lakhs DoMS has revamped the variety and quantity of books in the library. Out of the allocated money Rs. 1 lakhs were spent on the prestigious Harvard Business Review or HBR.The department would now have access to both soft and hard copies of the journal. The department which subscribes to all kind of business and general magazine would see an additional spend of Rs. 2 lakhs on reference books,novels and other business related journals.So bring out the reader in you and occupy a chair in the library because there is more to read than you ever can. Happy Reading 
Charity Begins at DoMS…..!

Is the heading an appropriate one or u think that the last word spelled a bit differently.Then the answer is, figuratively yes and literally no because DoMS had been enjoying the happiness of giving ever since the inception of SEC club.
The students and faculties of DoMS contributed their part in providing the HUT a little more strength by contributing around 64000 Rs.The HUT or Human Uplift Trust runs an orphanage for AIDS infested children at Perambulur village.The village is located 60 kms. from Chhatram bus stand of Trichy city.
The little contribution would go towards fulfilling smaller yet important requirements like stationary,uniform etc. The better part for most of them was interacting with these kids and making them feel cared for.The students of DoMS spent an afternoon engaging in activities with the affected kids like singing and dancing,mimicry which i am sure a very high standard by one of the kids.After that we had lunch with the kids and interacted with the kids.
I do not understand UPA’s inclusive growth rhetoric but i do know what DoMSians exhibited that afternoon is Inclusiveness.

The fest was named ‘Finecture’12′, and it pulsated as a collective effort that stemmed from a nascent idea of Dr.Thammraiselvan, HOD, Dept. of Management Studies, NIT.

The second guest speaker was Mr.V.Nagappan,Director, Madras Stock Exchange Ltd ( MSE ) who has got an immense experience in stock markets since 1992.His session threw light on ‘Paper Gold Vs Physical Gold’ from an Investment Perspective.

The moment we say….Goodbye (:-(

Time seems to have taken a flight, because only yesterday did i come here to do my MBA of 2yrs. duration and today they celebrated the Farewell Day ! . I never believed when my seniors said that “2 yrs. will pass like a whisker” , and today i was there getting clicked with everyone before they are gone. Of-course there are chapter meets and convocation, but all of us are aware that this might be our last party together. Not everyone will make to them because there will always be some kind of work, that will conspire to ruin the meets.
Work is something that most of us have been exposed to, thanks to our previous work experience. And this one of the reasons many of us decided to pursue MBA. But life would not be same we leave the campuses and our friends. One thing i come to realize all good things come to an end and some pretty fast. Amid the orchestra of cycle tests, trimesters, workshops, guest lecture and what not !, we never got the time to know the seniors to the extent we should have and we regret it.
With almost everyone placed, the seniors had happy faces and have set standards for us. But i have heard the faculties say this batch is equally talented if not more,so we have a task to not let them down. While a journey ends another has a beginning. I must say “Seniors ! you were a damn good co-passenger and i will miss you. With best wishes, may life be full of happiness to our seniors.

Yes, you read it right . ‘Vithya’ is born to inculcate financial acumen in Domsians. The finance club of DoMS ,NIT-T is now christened as ‘Vithya’, a sanskrit word for finance. The previous name ‘Finnacle’ had to be changed because its a registered name of a product from Infosys.
‘The Finance Club of DoMS NIT-T’ ,now ‘Vithya’ a significant student driven initiative to enhance knowledge of finance and encourage knowledge sharinging. The club was earlier called ‘The Finacle’ from where ‘Vithya’ has been derived only with added energy and enthusiasm.The club intends not only to impart subjective, static concepts of Finance but also enable members to understand and appreciate its dynamic elements, implications, applicability and impact in the practical world. The Club periodically conducts Quizzes and Finance related games to stimulate interest and educate the students about the modus operandi of the financial system.
The Club has plans to keep buzzing with activities such as Case study , Panel Discussions and Guest Lectures. This would help bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical implementation and would enable students deal with the subtleties and intricacies of the Financial system and come out as better managers.
Splash of Colour….

8th March 2012
Red, Green, Yellow and the innumerable number of combinations we could make from the available colours made our world colourful on Thursday. The first faces to get colored were of Renold & Vivek, who had no idea that we would start the riot of colours a night before. Vinod and others who were experiencing ‘Holi’ for the first time, thoroughly enjoyed the little surprise but could not become the part of larger celebrations on Thursday as they had to co-ordinate at G.D/P.I. venue in Chennai. Though many thought that they had an escape because of ‘Juran’, only to be disappointment on being coloured in the evening. Barring a few, almost everyone enjoyed ‘Holi’. The festival of color’s was celebrated by students of DoMS, NIT-T as a part of the activities of SEC club which encourage sociocultural activities among DoMS students. This was the second major festival after ‘Diwali’ being celebrated by DoMS students and is in addition to numerous occasions organized by fellow NIT-T’ians.
Hockey Fever is Catchin …. N Volley Ball is Callin !

The 15 member squad of NIT-T hockey team leaves today for Inter-NIT hockey tournament at NIT Surathkal. Contrary to the popular belief that P.G. students neither match up nor are interested in sports, 3 key players of the hockey team ; Arvind, Tilak and Jagtaar are from DoMS. Sports tournaments are a regular affair at NIT-T, where either tournaments are organized on-campus or the team heads for participation , no matter how far it is. Except for Jagtaar, the other two also played at sports meet in IIT-Kanpur.
Hockey apart, Prince Jeevan, also a student of DoMS( do i have to keep mentioning that !) has been designated the captain of NIT Trichy Volley Ball team. Prince, known for his Un-returnable smashes captained the PG volleyball team to victory in the recently concluded Intramural cup 2012.
Am i boasting too much ?. No sir, not at all ! , because DoMS has players like Naresh who has represented Tamil Nadu in Chess and might win some medals the day they want to. Since i am the the writer, i can take the liberty to say that no matter what the target was, i chased it !(You have to believe, no other option….and yes, in Tennis-ball Cricket). Best wishes to the touring palyers !
