CALCUTTA
BUSINESS SCHOOL
Learning and fun at Zeron
Reshmi
Bansal, an IIM Ahmedabad alumnus and a renowned author of best-selling books like Stay Hungry Stay Foolish, Connect
The Dots, I have a dream and Poor
Little Rich Slum,
acquainted a gathering of undergraduate students and aspiring management
graduates at the campus of Calcutta Business School at Bishnupur about the
pitfalls of living a high life at the corridors of corporate edifices. She
spoke about the workload, the stress and compromises one had to make to lead a
so called ‘successful’ life. She emphasized on living a life based on human
values and following ethical routes to success in the corporate world. She also
talked about how to seek and maintain a fine balance between work and life and
why and how one should always ask questions to oneself as to whether one is
doing what one likes or merely following a trend.
Reshmi Bansal was speaking on the occasion of
Zeron, a Management Fest organised by the students of Calcutta Business School,
an autonomous institute of repute set up by Shikhshayatan Foundation. In the
event, Akash Gautam, India’s one of the most favourite motivators and corporate
trainers, delivered a unique mantra of building and maintaining relationships
in a workshop. The workshop was called Lovepal Bill: For the Corrupt Dil and aimed to advise participants about how to
build and manage relationships – not only romantic relationships but
relationships with everyone – parents, teachers, colleagues, relatives and all.
The workshop was attended by a large number of students and corporate
executives from Kolkata.
The day-long event at the picturesque campus of
Calcutta Business School had participants from various business schools like
ICFAI Business School, IISWBM, Army School of Management, Praxis Business
School, and Globsyn and undergraduate colleges like Shikhshayatan College in
Kolkata. Students were engaged throughout the day in various competitive events
like Marquemorphosis (Marketing Game), Brainstorm
(Logo design competition), Optimus prime (Operation Game), Finomenal (Finance Game), Comic Con (Stand-up comedy) and Word on the street
(Street Play).
In
the evening, Zeron hosted East-o-nasia vanity, a fashion show to
showcase ethnic wear of the generation Y in the eastern, south-eastern and
far-eastern countries of the world. Judging the participants were Shatarupa Pyne and Shashank Arora, renowned
models from Kolkata. The participants showcased beautiful ethnic wear with a
range of hues and colors, a variety of textures and unique designs.
Enthralling the participants in the chilly evening after
the fashion show was Underground
Authority, a hot
favourite band at the college campuses of Kolkata which has captured the
imagination of the youth with their unique alternative rock and rap music with soul
stirring lyrics delivering socio-political and anti-capitalism messages. They
played Microphone,
Realize, You can’t stop us, and some other of their original compositions. Their renditions of
the remixes of some popular A. R. Rahman’s songs like Urvashi, Humma Humma, and Rukmani made the huge crowd go into a frenzy. Their
remixed rendition of Dabangg soundtracks, which they had composed on request
from Salman Khan, made the crowd at Zeron dancing late into night. All in all,
it was a day of learning and fun at Calcutta Business School.
