I remember that the first thing people told me when I said I want to be an HR was whether I wanted to do so because it's an easy job. Others supported my decision saying HR is good for me because I'm a girl and yet others advised against it because they felt that there's no future in HR.
The ocean, at times, is a metaphor for education - education, which is not confined to only books and thoughts of scholars but also to the exploration required to build pragmatic, broader outlooks. Such an approach and its output is possible in depths where undercurrents are felt and realised by confluence of streams from varied directions and locations: the confluence of various disciplines, objectives, nationalities and cultures with a common objective of attainment of knowledge.
Many of you reading this article have either been to a B-school or are in the last leg of your first year or preparing to get into one.
Dear Mom/Dad/Friend/Junior,
If ambition and passion were two Venn diagrams, a popular notion is that in a B-School, the two never intersect. So when you convert a call, you hear a myriad of “Congratulations!”, albeit with a clause. This clause hints at you having to put aside your hobbies; your passion, and dedicate all of your existence to your B-School in the most celibate fashion.
This article is for all the people who are lost in the promise of endless opportunities and are trying to figure how to make the best of their time at a B-school.
“All that glitters is not gold” – You must have heard it a million times but you hardly remember it when you need to. Well, this is neither an angst-filled rant nor a failure story. This is about the trade-offs you make in life, sometimes when you’re hardly aware of it.
