MBA: Learning Business or just WASTING MONEY

Higher education is costlier than ever, and in today’s job scenario, it doesn't always guarantee a return on your investment. This especially applies to the so called MBA(Master in Business Administration). Here’s why:

1. MBAs no longer make sense financially. Many people say they want to do MBA for money. But decreasing pay packages for MBA graduates combined with skyrocketing tuition fees mean they aren't experiencing the kind of financial rewards they once did. While students coming out of top U.S. MBA programmes in the mid-1990s saw their salaries triple in just five years, graduates leaving the exact same programs in 2008 and 2009 saw that pay cut spike in half. Meanwhile, MBA students in 2012 paid 62 percent more in fees compared to

The Candle Flames Failed Under Drops Of Lust

The candle flames failed under drops of lust.
She lost to a system that couldn't be just.
Had he seen his mother carrying him in his infancy
A voice could have said
"She is the bearer of a family 
A colour that paints the canvas of life
A daughter who dresses to become just like her mother
One who serves her family as a wife."
But cries are unheard in this world
where spirit is buried under a so called existence
A rich person commits crime and is acquitted in days four or five.
She ,yes she who suffers ..she who is ostracized for rest of her life.
I beg to accept them again and give them their right to cheer
For I know my voice squeaks and my city still reels under a fathom deep fear.

PLEASE SHARE and condemn the recent wave of women exploitation in our city

Main Bhi Farhan Quereshi : A Craze To a Maze In Indian Education System

Hey people, this one's a post from someone who has been my friend, philosopher and guide from a very long time. I look up to him. His name is Aditya Sinha and he studies at DTU. Here it goes..

Main Bhi Farhan Quereshi : A Craze To a Maze In Indian Education System

Its not even when a child is born aspirations of college thunder up over the entire family. Ofcourse who doesn’t remember “Mera Beta Farhan Quereshi Engineer Banega”. Farhan was just a generalization of a million budding engineers and doctors whose fates are sealed with their thoughts.Rat-race starts here and the Pied Piper of pay packages drives them to  a cliff – IITJEE or DPMT or CATE or CAT whichever  version you prefer.Result is the same –some cross it (by some I mean a very few) while others are –BORN LOSERS,RETARDS,NOT-MEANT-FOR STUDIES…and numerous hindi  dictionaries mention them as LAFANGEY.

Asking One of those who crossed the cliff being a LAFANGA gives me a sigh of relief.Heres a description of what he said :

Sophistication and Real Fun rarely go good together

Hey people. I just decided to write on my experience of watching a T20 cricket match between Delhi and Chennai at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium last night. Dad had arranged VIP box tickets for the first time and being a middle class family, all the males were excited to go there. We hired a cab as Dad didn't want to drive after coming back from a tiring day at office for the evening match. We reached the stadium at sharp eight o clock after surpassing all the security checks. As soon as we entered the first ball was bowled. After grabbing the seats and watching the first ball we realised that we forgot to notice the luxurious treatment around us.Unlimited food and beverages being served by a five star caterer. Our box had limited seats and the people seemed sophisticated and simple. We had food, drinks and VIP box, still something was missing. And that was the zeal, the enthusiasm, the excitement, the hooting, the cheering. All this was deeply missed by me and my cousin. Suddenly I saw the other stand below us and felt envious of the ambience down there. They were ordinary middle class people like us, but they had something that neither money nor the VIP pass can buy. They  were having the REAL FUN out there hooting for players and standing up after every boundary. And we were among the 'sophisticated' people sitting silently and holding our drinks in our hand. That's when I realised that although being sophisticated is good in daily life but there are some moments in life when you have to go beyond your sophistication and have some real fun and live the moment to the fullest.
So keep in mind the next time you go out anywhere, just be who you are and not what surrounds you. And prefer the quality of real fun over the quantity of money and status. Keep reading and stay simple and happy.

Memories (The dreaded IITJEE)...

8th April... I remember this day very well as last year I gave the most dreaded exam of all, the IITJEE exam on this day only.
I was going to the exam centre with my Dad and there was no sense of fear in me as I thought that I won't be able to make it since you need to be a complete nerd to clear IITJEE, and I was not even close to that.Yet my dad's face reflected a slight hope that maybe his son will clear this exam. It was all because of that hope that I kept my moral high and believed in luck to be strong at that moment. Dad stopped the car as we reached the centre

Engineering Beyond the IITs

"In this world, an ordinary life has become synonymous with a meaningless life."                        
 - Brene Brown, author of ‘The Gifts of Imperfection'.  

If you are doing engineering or you are preparing for the engineering entrance exams, you must have heard the common abbreviation PCM i.e. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. PCM is the only thing in engineering which proves you can be a good engineer. And if you don't know even one of them, all you can do is go to any of the average colleges and prove yourself again and again all because you didn't get admission at the so called ‘BEST COLLEGES'. I never understand what a ‘Best College' is. Is that college the best which gives the highest pay packages to its students by calling the biggest MNC's for placement, or that one which has the best faculty or the one with the largest campus? Ask yourself and ask the people around you. You will not be surprised by the answers as among all the names you'll get to hear, the IITs, NITs, BITS and DTU would be the most prominent among them.   Actually, it's a vicious circle. The big companies have a perception that the graduates from mostly the top colleges are suitable for recruitment. That's why a student who gets admitted to one of them is termed as a good engineer by our society. This perception has a reason too. Your parents tell you to stop living and just study the moment you opt for science and enter into XI standard. That's because marks and grades are the only valid proof of intelligence in our country. Passions and hobbies are only respected when you become a millionaire or a celebrity pursuing them. There's a RACE to get
