Musings Of An MBA Freshman
“So, do you know what a spike is?” The senior asked to the class. “Well, a high point in one’s career?” Somebody from the first row exclaimed. “Yes sort of, but to paraphrase it more clearly, it’s something a person would remember about you after going through your 1-pager CV, and you know right, the company selectors only have, like 30 seconds to flip out the resumes of 449 people. If they don’t do that, the process would become, quite infeasible, wouldn’t it!?”

The Retail Store At IIM Indore
What would you do when you go to a retail store? You shop for your products, pay the bill and leave.

Thus, I am full of life again and seek exciting avenues for myself in the future.
A Batch With A Difference, PGP32 - Abhijit From IIM Lucknow
“Here comes yet another bunch of them”, thought the creatures of IIM Lucknow when they saw a new bunch of people getting into the Gates of HelL. A cursory glance at these hapless folks and one could sense the utter “as usual-ness” of these anxious yet happy faces. But every once in a while, there come the exceptions to the rule, the ones who are less “as usual” than the others. Such is the batch of PGP 2016-18. “Yeah, so claims every random facchha that enters these gates” may be one of those things that may come to the mind of a seasoned HelLite upon seeing these seemingly myopic, run-of-the mill pompous claims. So let us give this batch a closer look.
