1/2 x MBA

My eyes opened with a stream of sweat flowing from my forehead, as I realised I was fast asleep in the Bus carrying me from the station towards my home. The exams did have its side-effects! There I was looking around and wondering why the Bus had taken a halt that too just a km away from my place, and no it was not at a bus-stop. I thought the Bus had taken its toll, when I saw the conductor and the driver leisurely drinking water and taking a nano-shower under a running tap near a mithaiwala. Every one waited patiently without complaining, with some airs of sympathies flowing around for the non-availability of water at the Depots. For once, the driver-conductor duo weren't being bashed up by janata for the bus being stopped, thanks to the searing heat!

My memories started taking a rewind as the driver plugged the 1st gear, one year went in a jiffy, from the resignation at godrej, the melodrama of admissions, the first sem, the competitions, the case-studies, presentations, counter-strike (optimum usage of college wi-fi), sem-2, virtualities our fest, and the last minute rush towards the end of exams, first year of my management course was pretty fast I must say and now I am waiting for my internship to begin. The memories took a stop with the brakes, and the bus reached my bus-stop. I got down from the bus and it was hard-convincing myself that I was a half-MBA now!

Indian Political League

Although I am not an expert on this topic or politics, I, as a common man, have got another glimpse of how politics,underworld and our official national madness i.e. Cricket are all entangled so firmly that it is difficult to separate one from the other. Tharoor, as it seems, wanted to payback something to his homeland, by bringing the IPL Kochi team to the state. Poor Chap might not have guessed even in his wildest imagination that his personal life will too be dragged in this controversy. Who owns what and how much, I feel should not be an issue for the politicos, more still, who is whos' freind. The Ahmedabad lobby still feel they havent yet lost the battle, hence have got into such antics and this has become such a hot issue that ministers have nothing else to discuss in the parliament. Shame!
