"Travel. It
leaves you speechless and then, turns you into a story teller."
Our
international immersion programme was one such experience and much more. True to
the word ‘immersion’, it gave us a chance to immerse ourselves in the culture
and lifestyle of a country which was so different from us and yet so similar.

Our one week International Immersion Programme
to Singapore was a perfect amalgamation of courses that were thought provoking
and city tours which were mesmerizing. While the courses
on emerging markets gave us a global perspective to look at things; the
teachings of Sun Zi Bingfa (popularly known as ‘Art of War’) are likely to
serve as a guiding light throughout our lives. A peek through the economic
strategies of Singapore and one would realize that it is no wonder that they have
done so well. Our host university, NTU, made sure that they get the best
professors to teach us in the short time we had and make it worthwhile. But
there are some lessons you just cannot learn within the confines of the
classroom. You need to step out on the roads to see the sincerity with which
the citizens of Singapore abide by their laws, the confidence they have while
stepping out at night and the pride that they show in the development of their
country.
The perfectly planned IIP also gave us
ample amount of time to have our fair share of fun. The beautiful ambience of
Marina Bay Sands, the thrill of ‘Transformers’ at Universal Studios, the
tranquility of SEA Aquarium and the mysteries of Night Safari shall remain with
us forever.
This Internal Immersion Programme to
Singapore has not only gifted us a bunch of beautiful memories to savor but
also a refreshing outlook towards life.
