How will you feel if you get the admission letter from Hogwarts or if you get a chance to visit the lands of Narnia? think about that feeling for a while. Think a little more. Yes, almost there.

Beware What Lurks Behind The Gleam, IIM Aspirant

"What do you learn in an MBA program from an IIM?" I quipped before my brother, an alumnus of one, last year. He cheekily replied, "The strategic use of the word 'It depends'."
