Walk The Talk

"How many of you can walk across this bed of glass pieces?" asked Prof. Ankur Gupta.

A slight buzz went around the class. I stood a little perplexed with the sort of question posed before us, I mean.. you know.. this wasn't a derivation of Physics. Nor was it anything else that was ok to screw up in.

In a flash though, we had several hands shooting up inciting a ruffle amongst the rest. My hand was raised as well. It's peer pressure and also the competitive shades springing from students.
Before I knew it, I was standing before the 6 feet long glass "carpet" as I'd like to call it. For some reason, I wasnt shaky about doing it anymore. Probably after seeing the ten people before me do it with ease, they'd all walked off it with a smile.

An unusual experience which I can't really describe -- there was a minute unnerving moment and then with nimble steps I had crossed the dreaded layout. Hehe.

Oh yea. btw.. I've started my MBA now. The exercise narrated above was part of a Mind Management Workshop held in college today. The institute course started this Monday, July 24th. I feel bad about not writing for some time. I'll keep it up though, I promise.
