Caveat Emptor! The Surgeon is here

Jun 11

Himanshu was told to cut down working on his laptop. Everyone turned round to look accusingly at him for this transgression . How dare he!!!! Dr shahaida is a surgeon without a scalpel. Her teaching was incisive clear and to the point.Backed with more degrees and achievements that one can keep track of, there was no reason for her teaching to be short of anything but brilliance. In the first 10mins she had 'sold' us the 'need for marketing 'creating' in us a 'want' for learning marketing which it was assured to us would 'end profitably' for all concerned. when himanshu shut down his computer it was a message for 'cavet emptor'. Soon we were like youngsters 'pestering' for more.After the initial onslaught, our 'impressionable' minds craved to learn more marketing.
We were satisfied as individuals as she skilfully 'ideated' the marketing of the goods and promoted them for our benefit. 'Functionally' we were benefitted in that the teaching would help us and 'emotionally' we were benefitted as we were learning something new. 'Monetary and psychic? psychological'?cost and benefis would come in later.... The long class ensured that it was not only 'transactional' but in the course of the day some 'relationship' was established between the surgeon and the taught. Showing great 'adaptability' and 'flexibility' we overcame our 'myopia' of 'rigidness' of arms discipline to ensure that we were not 'branded' as slow starters.
Hopefully 'Jim Collins' will help us with any other problems and through 'commuication' we would 'conveniently' cut our 'costs' to come to a suitable 'solution'. And unlike 'Walmart of Germany' , with our out of the box thinking come out with a 'variety' of colourful answers to mundane problems.
Our 'activities' would ensure that we would 'choose' the right jobs to provide 'value' for money and 'communicate' this to all concerned that we have arrived.
After learning so much, a case study- like a cooling drink at the end of the exhausting day - was in order. The doctor did not disappoint us.We were divided into syndicates and got dow to preparing for presentation on tuesday  .....

  1. Very well written. Isn't the 'a' missing in Caveat Empto i.e buyers beware in the title?
