The Chill Pill

Okay...the chill's in the air here in Delhi with minimum temperatures dropping to 3 degrees. The great B-school drama is set to start with the placements of the lateral candidates from tomorrow. The anxiety can be sensed in the air in the campus with alot of rumors and pending issues which need to be sorted before the process starts.

Famous Last Words

"Aw...Its just a little Red Dragon !!!"

What they do to your minds here !!

People seek admissions in a B-school with a "Vision" and "Mission" to discover their "Core Competency" in keeping with their "Objectives" of seeking a good pay and higher entry into the "Corporate Value Chain".
Once in, an"Action Plan" is chalked out to materialize the available "resources" to garner a "Sustainable Competitive Advantage". The key "Tactics" is that of "Differentiating" yourself and "Positioning" the profile according to the "Strategic fit" of the organization of interest. Sometimes it may lead to a "CreativeDestruction" of the existing competencies and "Value Internalization" of new ones but one must not forget the "bottom line" and think "proactive" to "win/win".
Life is one "Fast track" out here where "thinking out of the box" leads to a "result driven" mindset and that is precisely the desired "game plan" of the curricula. At "the end of the day",its not the "knowledge base" that matters but the the "client focus" of the "resource"(read: student), clients being the recruiters here.
Finally, this "paradigm shift" of the students helps them "leverage" on the "best practices" learned here.

What do I want to do...??

Ha ! I'd thought that enuf of bloging done after i'd posted 5-6 blogs and decided to let this space on blogspot to rot away into oblivion. However , finding my references in my friend D^2 's blog (visit itstuktuki.blogspot.com ) , i was tempted to start afresh ...eager to see how long can i sustain this sudden bout of enthusiasm.
Nyway, a lot has changed since I left the previous blog. Just one more sem left at FMS before i get out ...carrying some sweetest memories of the life at Delhi University.
Did my summers at GE Money...got a ppo..did okay in the sem exams..and now when on the verge of passing out , i'm still back to square one with the same old question of "What do i want to do in life " ?...i did an MBA precisely to be able to answer this question only....but this two yr education seems to have complicated things even more.
While as an engineer , I had limited options to decide , MBA has left me more confused by providing me with greater options...
Came back from mumbai today after a paper presentation at NMIMS...won 10 grands :)..caught up with friends ....stared in to the sea at the Marine Drive for abt 2-3 hrs with a friend...I'm strting to like tht city..never mind the over crowding and congested roads..
