The Musical

Itni muddat baad mile' ho kin sochon mein gum rehte' ho We sang to Prof Harsh Sharma. More like busy with assignments and he sang in return in reply "Apni dhun mein rehta hoon main bhi tere' jaisa hoon" some one came up with the song to Prof Harsh " O Gore' Gore' oO Baanke' Chhore' kabhi Mere' ghar aaya karo" He started teaching and then sang "Jaane' kahan mere jigar gaya ji abhi abhi yahin tha kidhar gaya ji" We were worried that if he went on so fast to the next topic he would lose his train of thought. As it is three months break between classes made us forget what was taught in the previous classes so we sang Babuji dheere chalna padhai mein zara sambhalna. He looked at us as if we had taken leave of our senses. He looked longingly towards the door and as if he wanted to take off and leave us to our fate. "Ay mere dil kahin aur chal gum ki duniya se dil bhar gaya gum ki duniya se dil bhar gaya" we sang "Khilona jaan kar tumto hamara dil tod jaate' ho - hame' is haal mein kiske sahare' chhod jaate' ho". Not to be outdone he sang "Mere dil mein aaj kya hai app log kahe to main bataoon"
And thus started our Human resources class after a long time . Prof Harsh Sharma made a profound statement at the beginning of the class.  He said An extrovert need not necessarily be a good public speaker and an introvert can be a good public speaker. He attributed this quality to the fact that  when a person has to speak to another person face to face he may develop cold feet but while speaking to a crowd he need not necessarily make eye contact with any particular person. Slowly the learning of the past six months is started making sense the economics , the Marketing the project planning the strategic management , the Logistic Management are all merging into one another. It makes sense . There is a need to know a little of everything to make sense as a whole. This is what we were looking for in the course. Like we had been schooled all our life, " Jack of all trades is a master of none". It is evident that to make connections in business management there is a need to to know a little of everything. And that it is also a fact that specialists exist only in the colleges as professors.

The Human Resources class is one that we enjoy and connect with. And with an Instructor like Prof Sharma there was a sustained interest in the class. During the class he spoke of how the first thing the interviewers look for is - how to disqualify a person from selection thereafter how they identify problem areas which give them a reason ti disqualify a person if the interviewees pass this stage then how the interviewers look for desirable qualities and finally the essentials which will help in selection of the right man for the right job. along the way ability tests combined with assessment centers interviews during which questioning which cold give an insight into the person etc all elp in the selection process. Prof Sharma then went on to expound on the training with the definition of Kirk Patrick's Model of training.. Our training at ASCI  is being rounded off  nicely. It remains to be seen as to how it will help us in real life... Like a musical Symphony consisting of many instruments - which would sound like cacophony if heard individually -  but make music under an expert conductor , the different aspects of human resources were brought together by the expertise of Prof Harsh Sharma...
