Wondering...
A few months back when I was reading in ET about the entry level salaries offered to the young grads from IIMB and the dozens that were recruited on Day Zero, I was left wondering..."kaaash MBA do - chaar saal baad kiye hota, to aise kadkey to nahi hotey"
Of late, with the fee hike to 9 lacs and the reservations to some 49.5% ... I was wondering "Accha hua saala 4 saal pehle padh liya, nahi to abhi bhee Assam mein Tel nikaal raha hota..."
btw..since I've posted after a long time, must give some interesting update on Mumbai. Rahul Das, Charsi, Karthik and Rishi have all decided to move into Mumbai in the same housing society. How cool is that....
Alam: Lothlorien aur Body's Box Office yaad hai aur Hotline and Shanky's bhool gaya!!!

Getting a proper "Education"
Being totally vela, I paid a visit to Spidi .. which, by the way , has acquired a new logo for it self .. here are the new and the original logo (Thanks to Samcho for digging out the old logo)
On the new look Spidi 3.14 ... I found some interesting stuff on tools currently popular on campus network. One of the tool's description said -
DC++ is the campus per-to-peer file sharing mechanism. Junta share their documents, photos, songs, movies, "educational material" and any other files worthy of sharing through it.
(emphasis are mine)
Educational material ... hmm ...
some things don't change ...
I bet that sharing "educational material" is the most dominant use of DC++ and is even more popular than sharing music ... brings back memories of "body's box office" and "lothlorien" ...

Why does our network sucks?
I have been wondering this for a very long time now. One of the things that a person expects from a B-school is to build an excellent network - something which helps you when you are looking for that right job or hoping to start something on our own. But I have realized that when I compare B with other two schools (A and C) - our network is really down in dumps - there is only very little inter-batch communication and of course alumni site ( which seems to change every year ) has hardly any traffic or content. First of all why is this happening? My take is that alumni secretary is a defunct position where it is assumed that only activity they need to carry out is the alumni meet - which of course hardly ever has any agenda - it is no better than a class reunion party. I have not seen any other activity being carried out by the alumni secy. Pls correct me if I am wrong in my criticism and yes this is not directed against any individual.
Of course by now all of you are thinking that it is easy to lambast someone else (in this case the successive alumni secys) but what next? Well guys lets create a unified platform to bring all IIMB alumni together - let us not depend on alumni secy. For starters do we have an alumni union? At least I am not aware of one - if yes then lets revive it and if not, then lets create one with chapters across the world. Let us also try and bring out an alum directory on an annual basis through this union and a biannual or (if possible a quartely) news letter - though I think a blog would be a better idea but then not all members may be so blog savvy. Any views on this?
