It is amazing that even though I enjoy writing about philosophy, policy, poetry and learning experiences, I find it amazingly hard to write about events and people. For me, this is a brand new discovery that has come up while thinking about what to write about "Oxford Pursuit", an activity this Sunday that helped most of the MBAs to know a few more of their classmates, explore Oxford and have some fun. I will give it a try.
"Oxford Pursuit" is a game akin to treasure hunt and was played around the main landmarks and pubs of Oxford. I enjoyed the chase around the city, and had some really good discussions with my team-mates during and after the hunt. In a group of five, we had a US soldier who had served in Afghanistan, a successful New York trader, a German marketer, a professional with roots in Hungary and an Indian techie (yours faithfully). I had some amazing discussions on topics including entrepreneurship, capitalism, communism, politics in India, politics in Hungary and leadership, to name a few. The time spent made me realize that even though we are different from each other, there is a subtle ambition and attitude that we share at some level. In a certain unexplainable way, it makes me feel at home.
It is good to be in Oxford.
