Unlearning at XLRI!!!

These are my first days at XLRI jamshedpur and I am being told that I am here to unlearn and time permitting learn.The entire system is conspiring against me to shed old prejudices and take up new ones. I was never prepared to hear "profit is a liability and loss is an asset"- at least not from the Accounts prof.Nor was I ready to see the linearity in the circle in a case methodology class.I have been asked to put my thoughts in spatio temporal coordinates and explicitly state the implicit assumptions before I open my mouth to present something.Settings are perfect to make me believe that whatever I learnt last 30 years are past their use by date....these are the days of unlearning...its fashionable!!!!
