There is a series of annual faculty meetings at IMT Nagpur which has been a tradition of sorts. I don't really know who started it, but we are continuing it. One of these happens outside Nagpur, where we take the time out and discuss various things that need discussing. And also visit a new place. Changes perspectives, this simple fact of being elsewhere.
This time we will be at Bhedaghat Marble Rocks, close to Jabalpur for the out-of-Nagpur experience. As part of this exercise, we try and stay away from our gadgets and therefore you may not hear much sound from the keyboard here. Do I hear a sigh of relief?
Played on a proper golf course in Nagpur after a long time with some colleagues. I also understood why Tiger Woods was off his form for a long time. It takes lots of practice to play well even on a simple golf course. I plan to practice more. This is a mid-year resolution. Let's see if it fares any better than New Year ones.

The new year resolutions almost always fail. You might have some hope with this one thus. :)
In a faculty retreat who does the faculty retreat from?
Or to tag onto what Harimohan posits - which faculties are we talking about? I for one do sense some of mine doing so.
Yes, DH, some of them controlled by the brain and its lobes are deteriorating..
Hari, mostly we retreat from the world of demanding students, parents, etc..who said only students have nightmares?
Meghna, thanks for your positivity. It is rubbing off!
And we are back!
