The amalgam of Philosophy with Physics is like a rendezvous with a woman having beauty and brains. And for clarifications, if any of you are wondering, no I did not mean that its fictional. Add a pinch of Management(panache) to it and the molecular formula so obtained may well define the atomic configuration of an angel(a dream job).
Its human behavior to look for analogies around us, to create connections and co-relations. When Dr. Mandi advised our friend to follow his passion by writing poems for metallurgy, I pondered and wondered about the possibility of talking in a language we like, about the things we love and hence here I am looking into the world holding a lens I love.
Physics is enlightening, beautiful but brutal. Right now I am revisiting Newton's first Law with a pen in my hand. As if troubling me with differentials and integrals during my school days wasn't enough fun for Mr. Newton, the knowledge of his first law is making me realize how the concept of momentum and inertia applies even to the act of writing.
As future managers, we all have much to share and many to inspire, still our(my) reluctance to begin is a reflection of the wisdom Mr. Newton applied to the mechanical world. We needed an external force to make a start and I am hopeful that the Law will hold true even after we gain the momentum.
The first day, we all had aspirations, some of which took a hit because of the skewed gender ratio we have at NITIE. Breakfast missed because my room mate snores till 8:30. Still I was ready to put it all behind. I am a conveniently religious(though always spiritual) man. So while sitting in the class, I closed my eyes to pray, I prayed to god for a mentor. I prayed for what Chanakya was to Chandragupta and Aristotle to Alexander(also for a miracle to improve the gender ratio and rains to stop, but that's a story for another time).
When I opened my eyes, I found a ball flying towards me. I instinctively calculated its trajectory, reached out and took a catch that "in my opinion" should make even Virat proud. When TRUTH replaced VANITY, I came to senses and the realization of unorthodox nature of my surroundings struck me. It was my first POM class and it only got better from there. Dr. Mandi had arrived!
In my opinion, "To Think", "To Hope" and "To Act" are the three sacred duties a man must do. Dr. Mandi in his own unorthodox way explained the phenomenon and the reasons for us to begin with above mentioned. Be it the Idea of "Learning by Earning" or "Inspiring and Educating the masses through blogs". The objective remains to bring about a change.
The activity of listening to "another brick in the wall" reflected the thought process of a young revolutionary he has in him, picturing a better world.
By the end of the class, my grey cells were happy, skewed ratio didn't matter, rains seemed fine and I was left hungry for more learning.
PS: Special thanks to Mr. Newton.
