Who represents whom?

So it happens again, i think it is the fundamental nature of people, rather i should say, people in positions of responsibility. At the time of elections, all the contestants are almost pleading for votes, but the scenario changes the moment people get elected. The so called 'leaders', forget that they are representing the people, and that their primary obligation is to serve those who have shown confidence in their promises. But it happens again and again and mind you i am not just talking about the politicians and their promises, but it happens even in institutions and colleges. Secretaries and committee chairs are elected after all the melodrama of section, regional and all sorts of politics, and in the end what happens, everyone is probably only bothered about their resume points. When it calls for actions, people hide in their rooms, shrug their shoulders and come up with sloppy excuses. Instead of leading from the front and voicing the concerns of the students in fron...

Finally my passport got stamped!!

After much ho hungama i finally got a green signal for my Zurich assignment. After one full week of packing-shacking, finally i was at the Bengaluru International Airport.

Caution: Readers' discretion is advised. The views expressed here are completely personal and the point of view expressed here will vary from individual to individual in the same batch. I am not responsible for any fall out arising out of your reading this post on this blog. Someone asked me on my views on whether a new student should join IIM Indore given the batch size. Well, I will try to cover certain aspects that will throw some light for future applicants. Having spent two years here and more so because I am part of the first graduating batch of size 450, I have developed an understanding of things that work and that do not work at Planet-I. I believe that these views are more pertinent for people with 3 or more than 3 years of work exp but nonetheless these views are universal as well. Although, I believe that freshers have very little at stake in studying at an IIM, be it L,I K ,S or any of the new IIMs. As far as the size of the batch is concerned, yes 450 is a huge...
