A 2-Minute Read: For A Happier You
Do you believe that the choices you make determine how you feel? Would you agree if I say that the satisfaction we derive from the things we own reduces as the number of options continues to grow?

How To Survive In A B-School If You Don't Know The Regional Language - Tips To Fight The Language Barrier
I am a South Indian with very less exposure to Hindi (I was forced to take Hindi as an elective during my 3rd year in Undergraduate (YES! :/) and am still clueless how I ended up with a C (I was expecting an F :P)). So, you can imagine my state when I got an admit into IIM Indore! I had months to pick up on Hindi before stepping into Madhya Pradesh for the first time, but as usual, I was like Blah and spent time catching up with family, and here is why. Almost 2 years now and still I manage to shameless say “ Sir, Hindi nehi maalum.. English se please explain kardeejiye..” (Hey I am proud I have come this far!)

What Made Ola Enter The Ever Competitive Online Food Delivery Industry?
On 19th December 2017 a news story popped out, Ola acquired Foodpanda – India Division for a stock deal and was going to invest $200 Million into that business. Most of the people didn’t understand that move and why Ola would want to enter a completely different business from what they have been successful in i.e Cabs and Transport. Ola bought TaxiForSure for $200 million a year back but that made sense as it would come under the market expansion as per the Ansoff matrix and reduce one of its competitors and increase its fleet of vehicles but what are they looking for in food delivery industry which comes under diversification (new market and product). This is a little risky move. People can understand this move if they are closely following the moves and strategies of Ola. Now let’s analyze in detail why Ola made this move. Let’s start with analysis and growth of the 2 companies, Ola and Foodpanda in India.

It has been about 13 months since the government announced the much criticised demonetisation policy on 8th of November 2016. Much has been debated and written about it since then. While the opposition and the intellegisia of the country has been hounding the government day and night about its failure, the government still calls itself the champion of anti-corruption crusade based on the slew of economic reforms that they have bought in including demonetisation.

5 Ways To Rock Stress Interviews Like A Pro
Stress and interview go together like peanut butter and jelly when it comes to the Personal Interview Rounds of an MBA School’s selection process. This is because (1) MBA is not a joke. It gets very hectic and stressful. You will have multiple exams on the same day, midnight surprise quizzes, long lectures that you would have to prepare for beforehand etc. (2) MBA graduates when letting out in the wild encounter very stressful conditions under which they might have to take crucial decisions. Most of the panellists are professors of that college and they do not want to stress you out and enjoy that but rather test if you will be able to cope up with all that stress. So here is what you can do to prove to the panel that you will be able to squish stress as easily as a pulp!

What Is It Like To Be An Average Student At A Top IIM?
With two terms done and dusted, one thing I’ve realised is that I have been average in every sense. Grades being just below the median, not a part of any of the famed clubs, past performance is average when benchmarked against peers and even summer placements indicate the same!

Looking Down The Memory Lane - From The Desk Of A 6th Term Student
Before stepping into IIM Lucknow, I'd had less than a month of vacation. Due to the lack of time and my innate innocence, I hadn't thought about what I was getting my self into. In short, I hadn't really thought of what I wanted and what I was going to expect from a b-school in general.
