Setting foot ON a B-School

Phew!!!
Dunno how it went by.. but it did, and I'm glad it did and I am really looking forward to the rest of the 2 years to buzz away in similar fashion.

I'm not sure how to begin. I remember the moment of unadulterated joy when I saw my name on the final list. Somehow the first month has really not lived up to that moment. No! A B-School is not awe-inspiring, it's just a college.

Of course, there have been several problems, the least of them the infrastructure issues at the hostel, which definitely are not 'world class'. Single rooms converted into doubles, doubles converted to triples, with as many 6 people sharing a bathroom. C'mon!!! 6 grown-ups sharing a single bathroom. That's certainly 'world class'.

Now, the curriculum. Pretty agressive, that I have to admit. Lotsa assignments, quizzes, tests all at the same time. Teachers you ask? This is a college after all. And the mix is pretty hetero here. Some are absolutely brilliant (these are the people who actually care whether you take something away from their class), and the rest are a bunch of jokers. There is actually a prof who thinks Vivek Paul did nothing for Wipro and ICICI acquired Daewoo. HA HA!!! What a buffoon!!!

Then comes the B-School junta themselves. I think it's pretty safe to say (and I've been saying this all along) that the selection procedure is utter nonsense. True, there are some people who are actually good. But the majority are a bunch of juveniles who happen to crack some stupid math problems. The maturity levels are abysmally low, and most people are just over-eager imbeciles who actually think joining the 'mess committee' is actually gonna give them leadership positions. C'mon!!! Who are you kidding? HA HA!!! People are actually boasting about their various club associations in their CV. Can you imagine that?!! Dude, you just paid 400 bucks to get in the club. It really does not qualify as an achievement. If it's anybody's achievement, it's your old man's, who is actually earning those 400 bucks.

So watch out you people!!! Soon you are going to work under such managers.

For all those people appearing for CAT, XAT, MAT, FAT, RAT and all the other exams that test nothing but your dumb luck, please DON'T. Go out and enjoy. See the world. Cause 2 years in a B-School just aint worth it. CHEERS!!!
