My mother always said i had a flair for writing but none of English teachers thought so. After having cleared CAT... just about cleared... and rejoining the mainstream of learning, my struggle with education continues. The lazy chap that i am, everyone who knows me well say" Ajju, why did u wanna study again??". Monday, 30 hrs from now, my end terms begin and I ask god the same question " Why god?? Why??"
This reminds me of the numerous interviews i attended early this year. Every Interviewer fortunate enough to question me asked " Arjun, Why MBA?" I blurted out the same sequence of sentences in english taught by the coaching centre chap, where half the sentences dint make absolute and in some case partial sense to me. But is nt that what interviews are all about? 20 mins where you put up the stunt of being the perfect candidate almost tailor made for learning the nuances of Business Education.
A perfect analogy would be the " bride -selection" ceremony ( sorry about the terminology, really could not coin it better!) before an arranged marriage s fixed! The Man of the moment ( Bridegroom) with his mom dad, uncles , aunts, neighbours etc ( to cut a long story short, every retired member in the family or vicinity) visit the hapless creatures(wannabe brides) house. The brave young lady puts up the face of the perfect home maker in the making! Whether arranged marriages succeed or not, this ceremony before the wedding has survived across generations. Similarly whether we make good managers or not, the GD/PI process is here to stay!
Welcome to my blog! Considering the time of the night, the state of my mind and randomness of the post, i bet you will go by my English teachers judgements than my mother's. But then, that's why mother's are special... rite?
