Fun + Learning = Great Lakes + Accounting


For sixty years, over 480 million players from around the globe have played this extraordinary game.

Guys, I am talking bout the Monopoly (Business) game; the longest of this game ever played was 1,680 hours long. That is 70 straight days! … These are few facts about the game around which this entire blog revolves.

Today we had an opportunity to play this game.. courtesy : Mr. Raghu Iyer (Our Financial Accounting professor) … This Prof. is really amazing , never came across someone like him…He is C.A. by profeesion , I bet his practice must be real successful yaar… and he is teaching at S.P. Jain Institute as well .. He introduced the real concept of Fun – Learning….

In order that the funda’s explaining the terms : Assets , Liablities, Profit, Loss, Mortgage, Income, etc. and all go hit directly our left and right part of the brain with the major impact .. we were made to play this game … Boy, and it was really Fun – Learning .. sab concepts clear.. hey but dun ask me to explain U the same…

Now, some confessions : We managed to misguide Bank in the chaos created during Auction & managed to buy property at much much lesser value… We also managed to collect more than the said rent from 1 team not only once but twice… Our Objective in doing all this was not to gain more money or make profit… it was just to make people educate about the fact that …. While doing Business deals, you have to be alert and never underestimate any 1 …. I dun knw why U guys simply dun believe me …. But srsly yaar.. tell me after all these philosophy classes, why would I crave for this Maha – Maya called Money . (yeah, hope my philosophy professor is reading it). :-)

But, srsly yaar ….. it was real fun playing & learning … and also self – realization … after looking at the profit made (minus the gol-maal stuff), which happened to be max. in all the groups of our team, I think that I did true justice by joining Entrepreneur Development Committee… :-)
