Study Tour??? Think Again

                      Study tours are one of the rare words which have too many meanings...Some call it a leisure trip some call it Time pass trip, some call it a romantic trip, some call it show off trip & some call it___? You know it. Well it’s true but the definitions are based on the character of the person, what they earn from the trip. But usually it’s a mixture of both fun & knowledge as well. At the end of a hectic semester when you need a good break from college & house the savior, the study tours helps in rejuvenating one self. The real fun is with the group, if you don’t have your group then it’s not fun & pretty boring. Also the journey to the place is also fun, like in train you don’t allow your friends to sleep & then standing near the gate with your seniors & chatting.

                      MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina had arranged leisure cum study trip to Kerala. It was fun with all the classmates & then the best part was the professors who turned out to be sweet heart. MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina students had a great fun & full on enjoyment as well. MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina students went to media houses & printing press. The food of Kerala is one of the delicious food & one of the USP of the place. The experience of cruise & shopping was also good & the best of all was the train journey where the entire compartment was booked by the MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina. In short one of the coolest & fun experience which cannot be shared unless & until you are there to experience it by yourself at MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina.                   

The Da-Research Code?

                                Did you know what is more difficult than breaking the Da-Vinci Code? Any idea…Do you know what is the biggest mystery than the Bermuda Triangle? Do you know what is more intriguing that the Aliens & question of their existence…Do you know? Well the answers is simple, Research. The Research is most difficult thing to do, well if someone ask you to jump in a pool, jump but if someone ask you to do Research, never say yes. Do you know the reason why Aamir Khan became Ghajini? Because he was doing Research on Who Is Ghajini?
                                           Well in reality doing research is not everybody cup of tea & plus you also need good professors who can guide you throughout the different stages of doing research. At MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina we get very good professors who are analyze our weakness & strengths & then help us in determining the topic of research. The method consist of lots of stages, including finding results, asking people, taking focus group interviews, calling people & asking those questions, sending questionnaire to people through mails & on Facebook. Its fun but only when you have the interest of doing a research. Lastly research is not just finding information but that information which is productive. The main aim of conducting a research is to add more knowledge to your field & on professional level. Research is very vital in the industry; organizations pay a lot to get research work done. The output that one gets through the research is very vital & professionals do implement it in their day to day work. Research is fun at MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina; the fun that one goes through is awesome only at the  MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina . In the 2 years of MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina course we do have a mock research at the beginning of the semester & then at the 3^rd & 4^th semester we submit our thesis & then it gets submitted in the library of the  MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina . At the department of communication & journalism you get a lot of exposure & learn a lot of stuff as well & research is the best one can learn, but only at MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina, remember the address.

Reality & Perception

                                          Well this is not a love story where in the beginning the hero faces a lot of hurdles ,struggles to the core, then the hero has to entice the girl’s family, get them in confidence & then lure her brothers, close friends & then finally at the end like all our Bollywood the girl comes to the hero & it's a happy ending. Well the moral of this entire script was just to explain you that in films the hero gets a lot of re-takes to get the right shot so that he can create a good perception in front of his audience but in reality you need to be more realistic, more active, and careful & perform your own PR in front of your classmates, your teachers & this does help us in our future because somewhere down the line in future you will surely come across these people from MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina & if there was some problem between you & that person in the past then it will definitely affect you big time.

                      If you have ever notice you will realize that we have been doing our PR since the moment we entered this world…When we are infants we use to scream if we don’t like someone company & that person at the end calls us a mischievous child & then if we love someone company we act like an angel & thus we become angels for them…Similarly in front of the opposite sex we always try to create a good person image even though we are not that person in real. That’s called Street Smart PR. At the MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina we learn that we need to start doing our PR from the word go. Anywhere we go no matter it’s family get together or friends outing, we need to do our PR 24*7…We can never be careless & always have to be on our toes. At the MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina we do have visiting faculty from the PR industry in big number & if we have not created a good image in front of them today then we will surely be paying a heavy price for it in the future. . Normally what happens is that a lot of mouth publicity is done now a day’s & if there is one person who is constantly doing your negative PR then that will surely have a huge impact on your professional life as well as your personal life because if you are not settle professionally then you will never ever settle down in your personal life. In PR we learn that the most important thing for one should be his image in the public because image is something that cannot be purchased or create in some hours or weeks or month, but it takes a lot of time for someone to create a good image thus one should always give a lot of importance to it & now it takes more than an effort to create a good image. Today people use social networking sites & blogs to create a good image & also to ruin others image as well. Anyways being a MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina student, we get a lot of experience in terms of practical knowledge as well as theoretical. Various different crises situations are given & then we are asked to find solutions for it & then we are also given hypothetical situation where by a company is planning to rebuild their brand & want a PR campaign so then we create a PR campaign for them & then we get feedbacks on it from those who are a part of the industry & thus it becomes very useful. Therefore whenever we enter the main field we will always have a upper hand & thus that’s the reason the PR professionals have a very positive perception towards the  MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina  students.

Exams The Dark Lord Virus

                                Since the beginning of the human race we have been subjected to many examination & hurdles. Many great men came & vanished in the dark sky but none could dethrone the ultimate virus. Great men like Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & hardy, Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger & many more came in but failed to win over the dark lord virus. Then one day an evil scientist invented syrup which promised immortality. None believed the evil scientist, but The dark lord, virus creature. He then went to him & asked him for that syrup & gulped it into his immune system & became immortal….

                               
                      Exams have been our greatest enemy ever since we joined nursery school, no matter it’s our vacation when we use to get our report card right before our family picnic & if by chance we get a red remark in our report card, then no enjoyment, no fun, no cricket, no outing with friends nothing. Exams have always been a reason for Chintu losing out on his bicycle & it has been a reason for 

Bunny to miss out on his best friend’s birthday party. In short it has always ruined our days & nights, but at times it has also been our greatest friend, yes that’s true but only applicable to those who have succeeded in scoring 35+. But at MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina, it’s a different story all together. Here the teachers are calm & we are composed because of them. The subjects are interesting & even if they are not the teacher make it more interesting by setting up assignments which are more of fun & less of work. We are asked to Create PR campaign & then presenting it in front of the class & getting feedbacks that moment itself which are really useful for future presentation. At the point of the exams there is less pressure on us since we cover up lot of marks in our internals & also we gained a lot of confidence from the marks we get in our internals, all thanks to our teachers. At the MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina department of communication & journalism exams are not so tough because the paper is purely based on practical application & unlike other exams which we have appeared for in the past, here there is no need to be a book worm.

Thus at MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina there is always a good chain of communication that is shared between all the stuff members & the students & there is a lot of transparency which adds more confidence to the student regarding his future & the time & money that is being invested.

Biting each others nails

                                                  (Background sound) heart is pumping up & down, up & down & the girl is on the verge of kissing you’re…when the door bell rings & the dream gets blasted (Russell Peters Dictionary) into millions & millions of pieces (Vice-Verse for girls). Then finally when Neo returns from the matrix(the dream) into the real world he realizes that,” oh! oh my god, its 10^th & I have to submit my Research project to Mona Lisa (name changed for security reasons). Well as soon as he realizes he leaves for work, to the no fart zone, to the Toi-let zone…with all his power & pressure being applied he starts off with his ideation part, ideating for that one good idea, one idea which will win him Oscars???(Jai ho)

                                 This is real & only possible at  MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina , this is what usually every single person doing PR at MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina in my class goes through. When it comes to submissions & projects…This is in short the life@MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina. Very rightly was said by the father of Doctor Rustom from Munna Bhai, he says,” Beta Khawanu Pewanu Mazaa ni life”… we follow that rule at MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina.

Well back to the assignment anxiety topic yes we all get anxious at the time of the submissions, biting each other nail’s, pulling & tearing each other’s clothes & as the time gets nearer & nearer, some try to do heroic stunts by going 1^st to present…Well history suggests that those who have succeeded have shot to fame & those who failed have forgotten their aims. The professors at MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina are very generous when it comes to internals, no matter it’s a presentation or a submission, all you have to do is send them a mail on the MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina Google groups or an SMS, that’s it!… you must be thinking what happens next, nothing much, either the teacher reads out you message to the class & makes fun of your grammar or murders you on the group by giving you a heavy dose of words & quotes from PR professionals  & then tags everybody so that they can take a lesson from it & at the same time, laugh at it.  But at the end the life@  MAPR (Masters in Public Relations) Mumbai University, Kalina  is the best place to invest your money with great returns promised…at least better than our government.
