result postponed for IIMs.. AGAIN..

I don't want to make this post dull by ranting about the delay and showing my frustration over it. I am actually not frustrated. Its not the case that the decision hardly affects me.. but i dnt mind waiting another week if i have already waited 3 months after the CAT 2007 exam result. I am not even angry over the state of affairs transpiring in Indian politics and how even SC is being mocked at by our honored legislatures. Its us who have brought this upon ourselves so why blame politicians who haven't even been graduates most of the time. We have chosen them, putting them in positions to govern us by either voting for them or passing on our right to choose them... They are our choice by intention or default... And we have to own upto this. We can no longer chose to stay inactive and crib abt whats done and whats not. Have we all forgotten our responsibilities when all we do is to remember our rights?

Why an MBA??

Why an MBA..?? a hanging question which has stumped so many people in the B school interviews that the count is lost. For me though, it was not an interview question. It was one that i asked myself more than an yr ago. TCS had been a nice experience. The salary improved in second year, work was good,work culture was good, onsite was a probability, everything looked fine. Then , WHY MBA?? It was a question i took more than 6 months to answer. The approach to a problem is based on the learning one has acquired in through education and experience. I found that though i was quick to learn through experience, the underlying concepts of a problem provided a challenge. This learning could be gained through a B school. The insight, foresight and understanding of a problem and its probable and possible solutions , can be improved upon tremendously by undergoing a management study. I wished to be the best in the filed and role i choose, and hence decided to go for MBA to improve my chances of giving the best. In future, my both short and long term goals are one - to be the best consultant/ senior consultant / higher executive in the field i choose to be in. I enjoy the journey more than the destination and don't want to limit myself to just my goals. I love my job and want to continue loving my job in future. Thats the reason I chose an MBA.

Personal or public ..???

I had created this blog with the sole purpose of putting across my own thoughts in words. Today, i feel that it needs role graduation.. from being a very personal blog to a personal-public blog. Reading and interacting makes huge difference. It also gives an additional nudge to our ever lethargic minds to THINK. The mobilization is also a key to make a difference to our opinions, our mental makeup and flexibility in adopting and acknowledging different views. Without much ado about nothing... lemme start BLOGGING... and this time i wont decide .. its personal or public :).

Do Hell With....

"Do Hell With.. " What does this means?? I have been asked almost by everyone who reads this status on my gtalk.. and my reply invariably always is "Everything". Isn't it so much fun.. to be able to say GOTO HELL to ethng thats not important for you. People fail to say this most of the time and live their life by default.. I dare say this and I am the happiest person in this world... :) .. and I am not joking... I get agitated by the indifference of people.. their empathy... still i say "Do Hell With.." coz i care only for those who deserve this care of mine. I have started living in present and having hell of a time ... I absolutely love my job ( second reference to my job in my entire blogging history).... love my friends.. love my love affair with life... Rest everything can rest in Hell in peace... :)
