Philosophy And MBA
A book on philosophy led me to few google searches. This is its after-effect… Philosophy begins in wonder!

The Stages Of The Play – “The Tales Of An MBA”
We all are fascinated by stories. Stories take us to another world. They storm the most powerful emotions out of us. They make us empathetic, sympathetic and help conquer our fear making us a bigger person. The b-school life is no different than a tale. It is a play that is staged in our lives for 2 years. The best thing is we are the actors in the lead role and the entire cast revolves around us.

MBA - Is It Your Inner Calling?
“Why MBA”- an interview question aspirants prepare for religiously, recognising it to be a panellist’s favourite. In the race to achieve higher conversions on their end, the TIMEs and CLs of the country have, over the years turned interview classes into a fad, literally feeding into students the reasons for doing an MBA. Ask any panellist who has ever taken a PGP interview and he/she would describe the pain of hearing the monotonous satiated versions of “to complement my technical skills with managerial skills” and “to set foot on the path towards enterprising”.

7 Ways To Survive The First Year Of MBA
The sweet taste of having converted the coveted IIM call is nothing short of having conquered the world. But the first day of orientation program is generous enough to burst the flamboyant bubble. What follows is an intriguing realisation of this roller coaster ride called MBA. No amount of advice from your seniors, mentors or (*MBA*) Gurus/ (*Pagal*) Guys is enough to prepare you for the b-school journey. The impending two years bring out the best and the worst in you. As the academic year at IIM Lucknow draws to a close, one can’t help but retrospect her learning as an (almost) PGP 1 survivor.

The Time Of Farewells - The Time We Realise That What We Had Was The Best
Like now, almost four years back, when I graduated from NIT Trichy it was the time of farewells and goodbyes. Though I didn’t know anyone before going to NITT, it was by luck I got a room with a group of friends who were from the same school with whom I stayed together for the rest of my time in college and at that point of time I didn’t know that we were set to become friends for life. The last few months of college went away in a jiffy, with most nights spent playing Dota or discussing random stuff till morning and sleeping through the day or going home during the extended weekends we used to get. Nearly everyone in my gang was either going to work in Bangalore or was going to study in the US except for me who was moving to Chennai.

Battling The Sea Of Confusion - To Do Or Not Do An MBA?
Somebody rightly said that in India, We become Engineers first then decide our careers later. The phrase ‘What Next?’ being used very prominently as we draw to a close to the last leg of our engineering days. This thought starts becoming more and more astounding as time passes by and we reach an impasse.

5 Not So Cliched IIM Interview Experiences - The One Who Knocks All The Doors - Keerthana P
I am not in Danger. I am the danger. That’s the kind of attitude everyone wants to build up before the big day. An advice to be confident put in a #serialoholic way. Here let me share my experience of my 5 IIM interviews briefly and how they were all not so cliched and I proved that I am the one who knocks at all the doors! I am writing this article to prove that it is only how well you present yourself at that moment with the weight of past and the dream of future that decides your fate. By “Present yourself” I mean the words you chose and the strength you muster to speak it up – Your Courage. So here it goes:
