The Quarter Gone Good
Rome wasn’t built in a day. What was the hurry anyway? There were Gods, Deities and Happy people. There was no need, whatsoever, to have Rome built in one day flat. Life sure is different now and here.Batch 4 of Northpoint Centre of Learning has been here since July zero six and has already slipped into, comfortably or otherwise, million-decisions-per-minute-gear.Northpoint is one such place that won’t let you forget good ol’ days from college. At the same time it puts you on that fast track... actually come to think of it, it makes you choose to get into that fast lane!
Independence day was our first full fledged event. We organised a sports tournament with squash, table tennis [the most exciting, i must add], swimming and an intelligent treasure hunt. We had all 4 batches participating on this day, that's why it was almost like a Northpoint get together. The tournament ended with a loud afternoon party with winners being awarded their prizes.
Okay, now Northpoint has had two batches that studied their Post Grad Prog in Advertising and Media Management (PGPAMM) and one batch that went through a Post Grad Program in Advertising and Marketing Communication (PGPAMC). Our batch currently, drawing the best of both, is studying Post Grad Program in Advertising, Media and Marketing Communication. (PGPAMMMC). [just acronyms you'll come across often on this blog!]
In July, we had an opportunity that no other batch had. Lowe International Account Planners' Meet happened then and guess what, we were cordially invited! We got to meet and speak with the top management of Lowe worldwide. A chance that no student gets so easily!
Of course we do meet representatives from the corporate world very often, they are the ones who take various sessions for us. Now it seems difficult to imagine a post graduate course without all of this. How can a masters course not be different from a graduation course!?
One big difference that will make your eyebrows raise... we dont take an off... even on Sundays! So obviously our faculty works on Sundays too. That's how dedicated Northpoint is to us. And did you know Northpoint is in Khandala? It is beautiful. In the first two months we had just one day free and we made good use of it to go and see Lonavla and Khandala.
Today, batch 4 has one corporate internship in its portfolio. All of us spent one good month at various companies from varied industries like jewelry, FMCG, electronics, telecom and more. Currently, we are doing a Media Planning stint with divisions of Lintas Media Group at Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai.
We are soon going to be equipped, making the marketing communication industry a big part of our lives, marking the start of our careers. Blogs being one of the most powerful ways of communicating today we chose to speak up from over here - this is what we call our Podium - NorthPodium.
Keep visiting this space to hear what we think about the new trends in this industry, about what we are upto at Northpoint, about the books we read and much more!!!

Great show guys...good work done..keep it up..:-)
I have had a rocking time at Tanishq (Delhi). I worked on a project which involved business development within the city. Doing a stint in a city, where i had never been before, was a great learning experience.
