Is CAT really just an exam? In the land of dreams and aspirations that we live in, getting an admit into an IIT, IIM, IAS is the wildest dream for thousands of aspirants and their families alike.
Journey beyond MBA.. ahh.. feels like heaven indeed. At least that is what most of the MBA students along with the prospective ones would think. As far as we have experienced life so far, it seems to be a basic human nature to look beyond the present into the future, so a sneak peek into the lives of our seniors and alumni gives us the necessary opening for the same. It also helps us receive some worldly "gyaan", know the struggles involved and get inspired by the achievements of the alumni. The alumni can always guide the students about the real world events, situations and give a direction to the students' quest for knowledge. As the institute looks forward to the alumni for their guidance, I am sure the alumni also look forward to interacting more with the institute, and thereby, relive a part of their lives in the institute. Hence without further ado, I take this opportunity to introduce you all to Mr. Gaurav Gulati, an alumnus from IIM Trichy, who has kindly consented to share his experiences with us.

Many times, we cringe and delete marketing emails upon reading them. This is because we don’t find them relevant and the majority of them just sound too mechanical, with no personal touch to them as if a machine wrote them. Some are just written with poor grammar and make you wonder why these guys can’t make use of proofreading service.
It is festival time here in Mumbai. With so much lighting on the streets, pandals at every corner, music being played, excited people running around and making sure that every small detail is attended to, one would guess there’s another big Indian festival around the corner. No, this is not the IPL. There are no idols either, inside the pandals. Instead, what we see is a giant framed picture of a man who had himself, in his last days, given up on the Hindu way and had converted to Buddhism. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, in his last speech at the constituent assembly on November 25, 1949, warned against three things. The foremost among those was hero-worshipping or Bhakti. It seems he has himself fallen as victim to/has become the subject of a practice he wanted his followers to forsake.
