journey to the best B School

To start with ..i will take you to the D-day of being just another common student from Bihar, struggling to come in that elite group called IIM Grad. So the story actually started much before this 2009 February in kolkata.
Last night was a bit cool as i was teaching my little niece who is in her early KG's..and bhabhi was scolding her.."uncle ko kal interview main yahi poochha jaayega...!!!" But my love to teach kept me awake and away from those pre-interview inconsistent thoughts.
Next morning was quiet busy and after all possible preparations i saw an image in mirror which was well suited and fortunately the image looked smart and confident.

The cab dropped me outside the venue and i was happy to see people from the same community the to be future leaders"- as other biggies generally name us.
I met with people from different places and expectations and as per my style i relaxed the much tensed and heated waiting area. I went outside with couple of my new friends to have some snacks.
The day went well and the two consecutive interviews made me skeptical about the result of one and confident about the other. But still the answer remained the same for all my well wishers- "cant say..not that great".

Poor Ministers: Part 1 (Dr. Manmohan Singh)

Indian Ministers I am starting this series to analyze the assets (and liabilities) declared recently by the cabinet ministers of India. This post would also highlight few of the interesting observations that came out from these documents. And to begin with, none other than our honorable Prime Minister can hold the number one position in this series. I am trying to focus on the position capabilities versus their declared assets /liabilities( if any) of various cabinet members.  Prime Minister of India (2011): Dr. Manmohan Singh (born  26 September 1932) The prime minister is the most senior minister of cabinet in the executive branch of government in a parliamentary system. He (/she) selects and can dismiss other members of the cabinet, allocates posts to members within the Government and is the presiding member & chairman of the cabinet and is responsible for bringing proposal of legislation. Dr. Manmohan Singh is among the few dignitary member...

Poor Ministers: Part 2 (Mr. A. K. Antony)

The man behind the US’ dismay for not signing the Logistics Support Agreement (LSA), Communication Interoperability and Security Memorandum Agreement (CISMOA) and Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement for Geo-Spatial Cooperation (BECA), Mr. Arackaparambil Kurien Antony, is indeed the real ‘One-man army’ . Recently it was noticed that Mr. Antony belongs to the singleton set in the cabinet, who comes under the “BPL category” ( sarcasm ). “BPL” is the only term that I could think of after going through the complete list of assets declared by his other peer ministers. But, after going through his achievements/positions held, one can, in no way, dream to underestimate him. The following list of positions can mesmerize any aspiring politician: “1970-77, 1977-79, 1995-96, 1996-2001 and 2001-05Member, Kerala Legislative Assembly 1977-78, 1995-96, 2001-04    Chief Minister, Kerala April 1985- Elected to Rajya Sabha April 1991- Re-elected to Rajya...

Earth

In a very Dawn After the nuclear blackout, After the dusk of shoot- n-smoke… flourishes a bud of resurrection Not retrospecting But introspecting millions of intellect words Nourished by millions of civilizations… for the birth of the Best one, Having the fragrance of science with conscience for the beautiful garden of God. “Had the bud flourished before, Nothing would be to retrospect for!!
