Food, Karma and Regional Nights @XLRI - Reflections of an Idle Mind!
Charles De Gaulle once very famously questioned, “How can you govern a country which has 246 varieties of cheese?”-a gastronomically and politically loaded question. Something very similar can be said in the context of India. And when you are in a meritocratic B-school like XLRI, you experience a mini-India with representatives from all states, in a student body of less than 600. In reference to the college, I take the liberty of framing a similar question, “How do you homogenize a student body that comes from 28 states and speaks multitudes of different languages?”

A Tale of Two Cs: The CGPA-Career Correlation
An aunt once asked me where I would be interning. I told her. She had difficulty pronouncing the name of the company and 5 minutes later was blissfully unaware of it. However she was very interested in knowing details of the other big companies who had come to campus and was visibly excited at the mention of a company she had heard of like a Microsoft or a Vodafone. This was followed by a long and exhaustive Q&A session on the companies’ hiring trends, historical data on their pay structures, opportunities of global assignments etc. (in short, something a senior consultant at the Hay Group should be adept at). And this strategic discussion on my job prospects ended with the usual exhortations to study hard, get a top percentage (I was too dazed to explain the CGPA), get a great job, and do my family proud.
