We, the Bibsoians, spent 12.12.12 in the bountiful expanse of the Botanical Garden, Shibpur. The garden, which is a haven for the students of botany turned out to be one of the learning centres for the management students of Bengal Institute of Business Studies (BIBS).
The activity filled day, at the Botanical Garden, was learning for life experience altogether. The day began with some management games which were played in groups. The group activities gave us one more chance to build up group cohesiveness and conceptual skills. Just before the lunch time, we had some warm-up sessions with our mentors. Their participation in the activities doubled our excitement for the day.
Post lunch, we were in a fascinating mood altogether, when it was announced that we would have a treasure hunt at the garden. Each group was given a map and pictures of three pit spots for the treasure hunt. The groups had to read the map to reach the pit spots and solve the puzzles at those spots to discover the treasure. The treasure hunt was for half-an-hour, in which we had to cover all the three spots and reach the destination point. It was not an easy thing to do, so we had to split our groups to make the hunt faster.
At dusk, it was time for us to wrap up, and the fun filled day finally came to an end. Only at BIBS, we are taught to apply our managerial skills in practical life, as the corporate world looks forward to competent managers for the successful running of their business. BIBS teaches us to be excelling managers in future who can solve problems quickly and plan the stages of any task in detail.
