Jargon of the Day - 'Low Hanging Fruit'
Do the terms ‘touch base with’, ‘synergize’, ‘core competency’, ‘ideate’ etc. make you squirm with agony? Ever felt your blood boil while waiting through a long managerial sermon utterly devoid of meaning? Do not despair. I am proud to introduce a randomly updated column driven by (err..) a strategic imperative to take a deep dive into the most obnoxiously abused management jargon, and resurface with actionable insights that’ll help you achieve better outcomes with clients and co-workers.

Six Awesome Excel Tips and Tricks!
I had observed, soon after joining a b school that the laptop was an indispensable part of life of each student, regardless of academic inclinations. The studious ones use it to crunch data. The creative ones use it to make snazzy presentations. The lazy ones (a majority of the batch) use it to watch movies, sitcoms, porn and play Age of Empires. Actually, most of us are a mix of all three. I realized that Excel too, could be used to do all of the above three. Here is a list of six excel tips that can will help you in many walks of b school life, from grades to girls to presentations and placements.

The many varieties of B-school students (Females)
Having known the different male ‘types’ who exist in the hallowed portals of the IIMs, it is but natural that we explore their female counterparts too. The paucity of the feminine species in these big campuses, more so in WIMWI, makes their presence all the more important. In an effort to ensure that gender sensitivity prevails, this section features quite a few of the female prototypes you would come across in IIM campuses.

The Many Varieties Of Business School Students In India!
“No 2 fingers are the same” goes the popular adage. For years together, Indian B-schools especially the IIMs, through their procedure, have ensured that the 'fingers' remained the same, thanks to their fascination for fresh engineering graduates (which is as deep-rooted as Angelina’s love for child adoption). But given recent changes in the admission and selection criteria of the top management schools in the country (which some may protest as “forced diversity”), it does provide for some mix in terms of age, background, colleges, past profession etc.
