The Real Stars!

I’m trying to search for a good beginning. But honestly I’m at a loss of words. The literary scholars say that a catchy start can win you the appreciation for your piece, so I guess I’ve lost out on that. It so happens sometimes when something is very close to your heart you fail to express it. The perfect argument to this maybe “then why are you writing at all ?” ( I got a start..now we’re talking!!). I think this is a great platform to share my 33 months of work experience at the Paralympic Committee of India. ”But why would anyone be interested in YOUR experience? Isn’t that a little, rather very pompous of you? ”My defense : No no..Just hear (sorry read) me out.

Digital Media, Pop Culture and why it’s the best time to be in Marketing!

It’s crazy how quickly we pick up things and make it a part of our lingo, and sometimes our lives. Take the ‘mauka mauka’ commercials for example. We cannot watch a cricket match without them. They’re hilarious. I can’t write this without humming ‘mauka mauka’ and I bet neither can you read this is without humming ‘mauka mauka’. Stupid isn’t it? We enjoy it nevertheless.

The Art of Acing Interviews - The Politically Incorrect Version

It was not too long back when my love for speaking outshone my interview skills by a humiliating margin. Back then, even the thought of me giving someone an interview tip to someone would've been plain outrageous. But this is how time U-turns, my first Gyaan Capsule to the gory world of aspirant community. But don't judge me yet, I still have my 2 cents to dispense.

Life at a Business School!

When a fresh graduate walks through the enormous gates of any of the premier management schools, he or she will be geared up to face a new challenge in their lives. But what they fail to foresee is that there is an all together different set of challenges that awaits them there.

ALERT : MESSAGE INCOMING

The keywords causing perennial apprehension and circumspection among the preponderance of the youth today are - pre-paid, bonus card, STD plan…….-the list seemingly never ends. And while Airtel’s opus wages a ceaseless war against Hutch’s zoozoos, few other diminutive ones attempt at making inroads with enticing offers or just hopes that unintelligible and ignorant ones will overlook the spelling of the company’s name.

Aspiration to Transformation: A journey of one year at IIM Trichy

In the movie ‘Transformers’, a car can become a humanoid in just seconds. But in real life the transformation from an Engineer to a Management student took many turns and unfolded mysterious paths and reached the destination at IIM Trichy. Like the hot filter coffee of south India, Trichy welcomed me with a heat of 450C. But the cool seniors gave a grand welcome and the friends/batchmates made the environment habitable for a Bangalorean like me.

The Pursuit of Happiness?

If you ask anyone about what they want in life, all the responses boil down to– I want to be happy. I know, some might argue that there are altruists who are working selflessly for others. But is it any different? Aren't they doing it because they find their happiness in others’ happiness? So, there is an ‘I want to be happy’ element in it as well.

Been There, Done That - Cracking IIM Interview

Ridicule the randomness, or abuse the way it is conducted, Common Admission Test for this year and its other relatives are done away with and the season of auditioning before the best of the intellectuals in the country has just begun. Yes it is the time to appear for those nervous interrogations and take one step closer to your dream of becoming an MBA. To some it may appear to be a Herculean task and to some it is like a result of years of penance, but having been there and experienced it all, take my word that it is actually not that tough.
