And IT was born :)

The one question "is there any MBA institute that does not have a management fest?" This one question. It led to the birth of an idea. The birth of our baby..ORION 2010.
And while there were many falling outs and 'issues'...ORION was born.
Like a new born child... it was demanding, attention seeking and kept us awake for weeks!! And like any devotional parent...we didn't really seem to mind any of it.

Starting from nothing but scratch, our whole batch worked their way to those final 2 days. We literally Survived the management, Adapted our lifestyles, Evolved our thinking and we are hoping to Thrive much more this year.

We knew one thing, we are not an IIM or an XLRI, but we are something that none of them are. We are SIMS, with our own peculiar "way of life", something that puts us apart. Something that has made our Alumni some of the most successful people in their respective fields. We aren't about bookish studies, we aren't about High CAT scores or class room teaching. We are about practicality, about street smartness, about 'doing'. We are about partying our heart out but still kicking any one's ass at any competition nation wide. And THAT is what sets us apart. And that is what we wanted the world to see. Not just any Symbiosis MBA institute, but SIMS! Our Individuality!! Hence, the theme last year!!
And we're back again...for another 2 days of complete madness and drama!!
So as we pushed our chairs back and tilted our heads to come up with this years theme, we went through our journey in the year gone by. The entire event last year.
And the one thing that kept bouncing up in our heads like an annoying bug was that whatever said and done, we are NOT having a run of the mill, regular B school theme. Its got to be Fun and its got to be US, just like ORION 2010!! And what better or rather "who" better to describe our life here than our Beloved Murphy! Its almost as if HIS laws were made keeping SIMS in consideration, we have him around all the time :)
So welcome to ORION 2011, you better be prepared to UnExpect the Expected.
Mr Murphy seems to be on our side this time and WE are not making it easy for you :D
