I had a wonderful weekend with students from The Walton College of Business as we interacted to understand the US Economy and Politics and shared information about the Indian Economy as well. I am thankful to @FIIBIndia for giving me this opportunity and I've written about my 'Face off' with the students from WCoB in a blog which can be read at Face-Off with Students from The Walton College of Business Fortune Institute Of International Business
Here's a small excerpt
"It's the night before we meet our exchange students from the Walton College of Business (WCOB), USA. I am eager and nervous to meet them. There are a number of things to learn about them, their country, and many questions pop in my head in anticipation...A week before their arrival, we were divided into groups and an informal session had already begun over emails and facebook. Not just the FIIB students, but the WCOB students were equally eager to meet us...Our journey was an amazing one – it took us from the crowded streets of Chandni Chowk to the plush and exquisite interiors of the Emporio Mall. Our conversations over this 2-day period were very deep and vast...I am appreciative about my foreign mates' curiosity and drive to know more about India, its people, the culture, religions, economy, and politics. Despite the blistering 44-degrees, they kept the conversation going enthusiastically in the rickshaw, in the metro, in the cramped car. Read on for their responses to some of my questions aimed at understanding them and their American context better ..."
No other phrase than 'The Unforgettable 48 Hours' can define my experience with the students from the Walton College of Business over the weekend that went by.

In my Blog I have written about the nine concepts that I started to think about in Indian Culture as I interacted with my American friends.

'The two full days I spent with my fellow exchange students as part of a cross-cultural experience offered jointly by both our colleges (FIIB, New Delhi and Sam Walton College, USA) have been etched deep in my memory forever. The joys of getting to know someone who lives halfway across the globe from me, and doing this while traveling in the rickshaw, metro, cars/cabs to places like Sarojini Nagar Market, South Extension Market, Priya Complex, Kingdom of Dreams (Gurgaon) was a whole new experience. During these conversations, my American friends made me realize the following 9 basic aspects of my Indian life that I take for granted, and hence do not think much about: '
We spent "Two beautiful days with the Walton College of Business" as @FIIBIndia hosted the delegation for a weekend. I ended up not only learning so much in that weekend but also enjoying a lot and making a whole bunch of new friends. So it wasnt difficult for me to pen down my experience in a blog which can be read at
Cross cultural interaction not only teaches us that people have different beliefs, but that people seek meaning and understand themselves in some sense as members of a cosmos ruled by God. My friends from FIIB and I were so excited to meet the students flying from the Walton College of Business...
