I really appreciate the efforts you put to motivate each of us and provide a stand to learn life lessons along with syllabus. I can never forget your teaching “Be Joyous always”.

Dear Sir,
I was really confused to me to give the answer of
your asked. Still I have tried to give my view.
I had taken my specialization as per my basic degree (B.Com) and my
interested areas like interacting with people, traveling, to know about others, etc, Though I was pursuing PGDBA , we were bound to take combined trades i.e. Marketing + Finance.
Always choose specialization where you will get pleasure practically on job.There is no relation with what you have studied in basic degree.
Warm regards,
Your dear Sashi

This snap of course shows “the energy and hunger for learning” but its value can only be recognised by a true visionary “This we call as a great Goldsmith” since, true value of a gem can only be well valued by a good goldsmith; we are the uncut stones of ASOM, and capable of becoming “gems” if a good “goldsmith” like Dilip Sir continues giving us a finishing touch with the learning of values and ethics.
