MBA ke side effects

You tend to look down upon people who sleep before 1 AM or who sleep for more than 5 hours a day.
Almost everything appears “GLOBE”
You lose your interest in studies during exams. In other times you don’t have time to study.
You love partying, even if you don’t actually like them.
You seem to forget what it was to ‘live something like life’
You may fall sick, if there is one day without any kind of slogging.
You may watch soccer and F-1 race just to be stylish, with no real interest in it
You are likely to be looked down upon if you are awake during lectures.
You apply theory of demand and supply to the beautiful girls.
You may discuss soccer and F-1 endlessly for the sake of your ‘image’.
You may hate any social gathering which is without any kind of booze.
You do all kinds of things for that extra point in CV.
You tend to apply all theory in places where not needed, and when needed you forget those theories.
You are in a position to give gyaan about anything under the sun, without having even a slightest inkling of what the topic is about.
The alphabetical part in any number followed by CTC is hated.
Corollary: Any number proceeded by the string ‘$’ is loved.
All things appear to end at the placement week.

  1. thanx:)

    Well ... for every effect there is an equal and perpendicular side effect
    (inspired by Sir Issac Newton !!)

    perpendicular coz it is "side effect" :)

  2. Another theory for this :

    It can be traced back to co-ordinate geometry. Slopes of perpendicular lines have opposite signs than the original line. Similarly effects have their side effects in opposite direction.
    So thew negative slope theory is relevant here :)

  3. Well, I don't know; but reading the blog I get a hint as if most of the things people do/say are inspired by their race to keep 'up' their 'image' amongst others: but if this is true, then, OMG! Things are so 'hollow'!!! :o

The story behind credit card debts & personal loans

Any one with even an iota of interest in personal finance & its workings would probably know that credit card debts and personal loans are usually the worst kinds of debt traps that you can fall into. Yet many people fall into that trap again and again. Many people do come out of it eventually but some don't & this becomes a part of their "lifestyle". That you are eventually paying much more than you need to, if you default on credit card payments intentionally or unintentionally (probably @ 36 % per annum or something similar) or take a personal loan (say, @ 12% per annum or so) is not hard to fathom. However behind these numbers, there may be even a deeper story - that usually that of not having control over expenses or not having created a buffer amount. While there may be some pressing need like unplanned or recurring medical expenses which fuels sudden demand of money or an unexpected job loss, in many other cases this need may be fueled by lack of plani...

Classifying people

One of the important tools used by marketers for identifying potential market is market segmentation, in which subgroup of people or organizations sharing one or more characteristics are grouped together. Using similar concept, people can be segmented based upon their basic philosophy or their basic approach towards life. It might be extremely difficult, as not all may express their beliefs openly. Maybe few sort of weird approaches mentioned below might help. One such method can be segmenting on basis of their movie or book preferences. For example a person whose favorite book is The Fountainhead or 1984 is likely to be different from a person whose favorite books include Sidney Sheldon and likes. Or a person who likes reading The Catcher in the Rye over and over again might be different from the one who prefers Eric Segal instead! Similarly a person whose favorite movies includes likes of Jaane bhi do Yaaron or Rang de Basanti would be different from a person relishing Suraj Bar...

The Forest

The Toyota Qualis and the Chvrolet Tavera stopped after a long journey. It was almost 9 in the night and it was pitch-dark. Night times in a forest are always pitch-dark. Adding to that it was a good `thirteen days since the last full moon day. Adding to this, the cloudy weather made visibility close to zero. Later in the night the forest would be engulfed in a fog making it nearly impossible to see. The only noise audible was that of silence, few random insects and that of a train going at a distance. After a long journey they all were quite weary and all they wanted was some rest so that the next day morning they can head for tiger and rhino spotting among many other species of flora and fauna in the wildlife sanctuary. Right now it was time for some parathas, maggi and booze. All fifteen of them headed for the cottage which they had booked, sat near the fire place relishing food, chit chatting about college life, universe and everything. But chit chatting wasn’t what they came ...

Survival

Dark clouds were looming at the horizon. In few minutes they would have traveled few miles in westward direction and came closer. This is not usually the scene at noon in the hottest month of the year. Dark clouds meant something ominous. Probably sign of an impending storm or maybe a cyclone approaching. Sea is a capricious lady. Bay of Bengal was no different. It was infamous for cyclones, and Orissa was often at the receiving end of nature’s fury. Ramdas was few miles into the sea. So were his brethrens of the fishermen community. There were around a hundred boats in the sea that day. No one anticipated the storm. So no one even thought of staying back at the shore and miss out on their livelihood of the day. Ramdas was alone in his boat. He owned the boat. His son helped him with his job. They managed to get enough as to earn a square meal a day. They had a good rapport with others of fishing community. But of late that relationship was breaking down. No reasons for that. Nor wa...
