CRA
I dont know how to write what I felt today... I felt something today that is unlike anything I ever felt.
It is about the presentation of CRA (Concurrently Running Assignment) in Marketing... It is one of the very few things I have worked on with all my heart and soul... Well, public speaking and presenting is something I like to do, and they (the audience) say that I am good at it... plus marketing is my area of interest (or so I strongly feel today)... and for this assignment we were so well prepared... it was awork of many sleepless nights and a totally wasted Sunday.. a totally draining exercise
Nilesh and I had worked really hard on this presentation... but Professor Sivakumar called Rajesh on stage for presenting it... and he wasn't prepared... and the presentation was scrwed... most people did not notice and Prof. Sivakumar did not give a negative feedback... but we knew we couldn't do justice to the presentation...
It is not the first time such a goof up has taken place, whether on my personal part or on group's part... it is a part of the game! But surprisingly, my mood got so goddamn spoilt (so did nilesh's) that i could neither talk, nor behave in a normal way... i felt like drawing myself into a coccoon, become invisible somehow (this is the first time I felt something like this), though i was not even in the line of fire... it was a disgusting feeling... and understanding that it wasn't such a big deal... well, it was, in the sense that it weighed 20% on the evaluation in the most important theme, but when have I cared about grades... it was definitely not about the grades, neither it had anything to do with Ego and stuff... i just felt sad
Though I am feeling better now, I am trying to figure out what had happened...
Well, I truly pity the condition of Rajesh at that time... he was cold and totally soaked in perspiration when he got down from the stage... he had gone weak in his knees... he came down and apologized to Nilesh and me, which was not at all required... and in no sense am I blaming him or trying to derate him in this post, its just my feelings I am trying to decode
But I still feel sore...
