From 7th to 11th 6 guys from IBS Chennai was on a tour to Kolkatta, Actually we went to IBS - K campus, Our purpose of visit is to attending Presentation by AC Nielson Company and PWC too (But no one was interested to be in Campus for both the days). IBS booked tickets, gave 3000 Rs and Leave also. So its great fun!!
But then the Profile was not as expected (They wanted we guys to do Research in Retail chains in Bombay and Delhi), they pay was also low 2.4 Lakhs plus incentives and bonus and allowances. 3 guys from Chennai and 5 from Calcutta IBS center went to interview, 4 made it through. Hope those guys are happy. I didn’t attend the interview. Calcutta placement cell was not than happy with we guys attending placements over there (Chennai center is ranked above Calcutta)
The whole purpose of my visit is to enjoy Calcutta; I have never gone beyond Goa and Hyderabad. Once when I was Young we went to Maharastra, but then I wanted to enjoy Calcutta. We went to Victoria memorial Hall (Great historic place, beautiful artifacts and Pictures) then to Church (Didn’t enter inside) then to Durga temple (Very famous in Calcutta - [people go inside with shoes also) finally to Hanging bridge. I went in all possible transport - Tram, Metro, Bus and Taxi.
The Best part of Calcutta is the sweets and Climate. South part of the city is very dirty and fully populated, but North is modern and well developed. I stayed in South Indian club (Good south Indian food). Had good Bengali sweets and Food, people are good, they helped us a lot, People are very Fair and good looking (Girls never the less were cute). I don’t smoke or booze, so some of my friends enjoyed that part too. We 6 guys as a team have good fun all these days. But the train Journey was an adventure (3 trains while going and 2 while coming back : we didn’t get direct trains)
----- Now back again with classes, presentation and case studies!!
