My MIP was in rural Uttar Pradesh. Largely in areas near Lucknow and Varanasi. I always thought why do we insist on calling our summers as MIP, management in practice. I will narrate some incidents that happened and in most cases I did not knew what to do or say.

Incident ONE

I was into a small village named safipur in district Unnao. When I started my conversation with this fellow, he was vey circumspect and was also amused (i think). He asked me what i was doing and the purpose of my visit. I told him "I am a MBA student."

He asked what is that and i replied that it is course in higher education. He continued,"You must have done your BSc?"

"NO!. I did engineering", I replied.

"Hmmm engineering is ok but then you must have done your Bsc", he retorted.

I was lost.

Now I know why at TAPMI we call it management in practice.
