The Newbies


The spring through summer is the most exciting time for any MBA aspirant. The joys, heartbreak, the waiting are some of the feelings without which an MBA journey is incomplete. To get out that mundane 9 to 5 job and tread onto something new, something exciting, the eagerness in the hearts is definitely palpable. To get your ones hands on the latest management book, to equip yourself with all the financial knowledge, to learn the latest business terminology, you just want to do it all.

On my recent visit to crossword, this is exactly what I saw. Having secured an admission myself, I too was eager to learn the principles of globalization, the effect "the china price" was having on the world; the tarde, the exports, the imports, the foreign exchnage, they all seemed to excite me like never before. But what came as a surprise and a revelation was that I was not alone. Twenty othere mid-twenties like me were flocking the store to get the most read book on financial accounting or the best sellers on leadership or how to be creative!! incredible.. ah! this MBA fever has surely gripped another set of future leaders and I wish all the very best..

MAHA - SANGRAM

The shameful events thet happened in the last one week were truly a blot on the civil society we are part of. But after having gone through the series of events and the defense persented by the two opposing parties it'll be fair to say both were at fault.


Raj Thakrey ( pyar se log mujhe raj kehte hain) was correct when he said that the state cannot keep bearing the burden of hundreds of migrants who flood into the city everyday. And yes there are thousands of poor maharashtrians who are unemployed and are fit enough to replace the north indians who apparently have taken away their jobs ( just as we indians (all alike) bangalore the americans.. nobody talks about that!) To make a comment that northies are spoiling the culture of maharashtra.. no body is going to buy that argument.. to tamper with the auto meters.. to ogle at pretty lass.. thats human!! even an average mumbaiite does that..


And now coming to the other party in contention who was acting equally stupid (amar sing and abu azmi). Instead of pointing fingers they should better look at what they have done for their states. UP, MP, Bihar some one the most third class states ( will continue to remain so) which cannot even generate enough employment in agri business forget the no-agri startups having any hope! I guess we all know what the solution is of this big problem, so I will not delve much into it..
