I have not been getting time to write blog due to busy schedule. But I want to be in contact with my readers and I also want to keep this blog going. So, I invite you all to write something and send it to me on samirthakkar0609@gmail.com. I will post it here on your behalf.
So, here is the first guest writer on my blog, Mr. Ritwik Samtani. Ritwik is a very dynamic young man pursuing his Post Graduation from Parul Institute of Management. He has just returned from his semester exchange program, where he went to Germany and studied for one semester.
So, let us enjoy what he has to share.
We had a meeting with vice dean of FH Bielefeld. After the meeting was over, he asked us to join for having cake prepared by his
wife. So we went to cafeteria. We were very surprised when he served us the cake himself! We enjoyed eating the
cake along with him. While having delicious cake, we had conversation about
how both the countries (Germany and India) are different from each other.
He mentioned that
the relation between students and professors, employees and employers are very
different. He said that for them Facebook is personal, and they don’t have students
in their friends list. Of course, that doesn’t mean the relation was rigid or they were maintaining
distance. It was just that they were keeping their personal life separate from
their professional life. We appreciated their professionalism while having cake with made by his
wife.

During Diwali (in India) we went to a village
called Spelle, Simmon, one of the student took us there to give us an experience
of a German village. We meet his family,
grandparents, his friend & family.
We were in talks and one topic which I found interesting was their culture of
giving back to society.
Simmon’s mother helped small
children cross the road near their school every morning.
His girlfriend teaches swimming
every weekend for children for free.
He organise summer camp with
various activities for children (again for free).
His father(police man) goes to
church for preaching.
This is amazing, which we should learn from them. We should give back to the society and we don't need to be rich to do so.
