Hello!  Gear up for the Annual Healthcare Mega event of SIHS……..

When I thinking of  writing  a blog, all I could think of was of  the upcoming National Seminar on  Hospital & Healthcare Management, Medico Legal Systems and Clinical Research. 

 I didn’t know what I could say about it that all wouldn’t know.

The students of MBA-HHM 2013-15 batch have been engrossed in the work related to the seminar since months.

Then we were split up into committees with separate profiles, such as the academic (that’s mine), stage, transportation, finance, press and media, etc, etc.

Our work began with the sponsorship committee (which was I guess the toughest)..

As the days of the grand and highly awaited event are approaching the students and faculty have been pressed and stressed, but seeing all the preparations happening I guess we are gearing up for another fabulous academic event from our batch.

So with fingers crossed, I bid u adieu.

PS - Back to work guys, lots left to do and the clock is ticking.

MBA Dreams….

There are ways we live,

And ways we talk.

Less time to learn,

No time to stop.

The race we are running is so fast,

There are time when I think, "who would end up last?"

My mind has innovations, ideas so new,

But less are opportunities... Indeed they are few.

Yet I live to become a Leader,

For people to follow me, make my legacy forever.

And that's what MBA is all about

Leadership it is.. indeed; no doubt.

This is the dream I wake up with everyday..

I will turn it into reality.. after my MBA..

For dreams are hopes that keep us alive,

And with this hope, success can be bought our lives.

The Indian Healthcare System: Governance and Management Challenges

Prof K.V.RAMANI, Chairman, Centre for Management of Health Services an eminent personality in the field of healthcare, from India’s one of the most prestigious institute IIM-AHMEDABAD addressed  a gathering in Symbiosis Institute of Health Sciences. It was indeed a privilege to be a part of such a gathering.

Taking about the healthcare scenario prevailing in India, his main focus was on the things which are important in our everyday life in our health and essential for maintaining a quality. He gave a very brief example stating that people are more worried about the soft drinks that they are consuming are free from any contamination rather than to check the water which we all are consuming is free from contamination or not. But we people have stopped looking into the small things which are essential to maintain a quality health standard.

He gave emphasis on Public Health and Health for All. He stressed upon the fact  India has plenty of resources which are not been utilized properly. In fact the ample amount of resources present are being wasted because there is no proper coordination between government and the health sector.

Our first step towards improvement of health care should be the proper utilization of the resources like manpower, knowledge, skill of people, spending more on improving the infrastructure, creating awareness of health among the society and emphasising on the concept of Health. Health does not mean only to be free from any disease but it is a state when an individual is socially, physically and economically stable and in a proper state.

He also enlightened the students about the government spending on healthcare in India as compared to other countries. Although India is a growing economy but still it’s spending on public health is very low as compared to developed and developing nations.

Taking about ways to  improve Health care scenario in India Prof. Ramani emphasised on increasing  government spending and proper utilization of resources.  For strengthening his views he gave very simple and everyday examples that we all see around us but never think about them and pay attention to improve them.

Mr and Miss Symbi fit

Hello folks, as we all know, in the 1^st week of December a fitness competition “Mr and Miss Symbi Fit” was organised for all the symbiosis international university students across all the campuses in Pune, Bangalore and Nashik. It was the first time, such a competition was organised, and organisers were our very own RWC( Recreation and wellness centre staff) across the campuses.

Well, to be frank, we took it as lightly as the weight of the registration form (remember that form, I was screaming and distributing and collecting… that one..!!) and never bothered to work-out or go to the gym. The idea did not even cross our minds (except for a few of us who go to the gym and workout every day).

And finally the day for our first round of Mr and Miss Symbi Fit arrived and we went to the battle field to get our Height, Weight, BMI, Flexibility etc. measured. And believe me it all went so smoothly that I never imagined what was waiting for us the next day, as the second part of the first round.

Oh lord, how miserably unfit I felt when I completed 100 squats, some 37 sit-ups, a heart rate test and a few push-ups, and was unable to sit,  stand, walk or do anything. That was the day I promised to myself that I will exercise regularly, no matter what.

Third part of the 1^st round felt as though I was being operated upon, without anaesthesia (oops..! I think that is a little too much). Weight lifting and leg press..!! I do not remember if I have ever done that in my entire life, but as they say there is a first time for everything.

And when the results for the first round were announced and It registered to me that I along with three more batch mates of mine names Amrita Singh, Meenita Pawar and Preeti Pillai, had been selected in the first 30 girls amongst all the campuses across India, I forgot all my sufferings and pain I had gone through. And once again I was a happy soul and I promised to myself to join the gym and start working out regularly.

Two days passed and the day arrived when we had to go to the Lavale campus for practice of the second round, which was to be held the next day morning. Upon reaching there, we were routed to the rooms allotted to us. At 5 pm we were supposed to gather at the ground where all the arrangements had been done and the props set. It looked more like one of those military training institutes, and scared the hell out of me. As we started practising it was clear to us that it was not an easy task to clear that level. And thus we mentally prepared ourselves to fight the battle, no matter what..!!

But, the scariest part was yet to unveil, in the evening we got the news that our 1^st semester results had been out. With the worst service connection (an idea can change your life..!!), we kept on trying to get a glimpse of our results. After some 20 minutes (which seemed like years to us) we got to know our result through a friend of ours.Well the good news was that we all had passed with dignity, and thus we thanked our heaven, had our dinner and went off to sleep.

The due date came and we had to wake up at 5:00 am to reach the ground on time. The competition started and one by one we had to complete a farmer’s walk, tire flip and a hurdle race. Well we all tried our level best to complete the level but only one girl amongst us (our very own topper Amrita Singh) got through to the next level.

And the next and final level comprised of ramp walk, talent round, question answer round etc. It was indeed an entertaining and glamorous evening with the celebrities and famous personalities as judges and audiences.

And this way the “Mr and Miss Symbi Fit” came to an end but with a promise to come back the next year with a bigger event involving all the colleges across Pune.

P.S.- I still have not joined a Gym or started exercising. But I promise I will someday.
