GD Monday - 'India does not innovate' - Week 10
You can still use our last week's GD on the budget here. Compared to past GDs it got very little attention. It is surprising given it is such an important topic.

Interview with Rishub Jhunjhunwala - HKUST Alumnus and Associate Director, Standard Chartered Bank
Those of you who balk at doing a foreign MBA should meet Rishub Jhunjhunwala. This HKUST grad from the batch of 2012 is now Associate Director at Standard Chartered Bank, Mumbai. A dizzyingly fast rise, if you consider that he had just completed the BMS program from Jai Hind college in 2006. He is a great example of what a foreign MBA can do for you. It can open doors that remain locked for local MBA graduates. Of course, it is expensive, and it is not easy to get in, you need top notch credentials, and Rishub's CFA qualification and would have gone a long way in helping him stand out among the pool of applicants. Not everyone can complete their CFA before even applying to B school, but the broader lesson here is that if you have a career plan and execute accordingly, and if you are willing to spend a little bit extra, the rewards to a foreign MBA from a top B school can be fantastic. In our third article featuring HKUST, (read the introduction to HKUST here and interview with executive director of the MBA program) we bring to you an interview with Rishub Jhunjhunwala.

Baazigar – Week 20 : Gangtok
When one hails from a city like Bombay, niceness, courteousness, and soft-speech are things one has never had to deal with. This goes deeper than we realize. Niceness or lack of it is a part of a city’s lexicon; its grammar and its body language. And Bombay revels in exactly this – a language where kids call parents with the most disrespectful pronoun – “Tu”, a grammar where mostly all inanimate objects are treated as male for convenience, people push and shove each other everyday to get into trains and buses and fight with taxi drivers as a part of a daily routine. It is then only natural that when a person from Bombay comes to a particularly courteous place, he just notices the oddity all the time. What’s more, he himself sticks out like a sore thumb, especially in off season.
