The Train Rant

The Train Rant

The article contains a range of stereotypes which may or may not be endorsed by the author. However, for the sake of looking cool (the raison d'etre of anyone’s existence on social media and using Latin expressions), I would go on, unfettered and undeterred like the Indian Railways.

Why To Leave A Lucrative Job For a Degree?

Why To Leave A Lucrative Job For a Degree?

When I was a undergraduate student, i was one of the CAT aspirants.I had no defined reason to do an MBA,it just came out to my mind. I got calls from few private B-schools to take up the journey. To add more confusion to my decisions,I got two jobs in one go,getting remembrance of killing two birds with one stone.Even though the job is not a fancy salary job,I decided to keep my MBA project aside basically expecting the monetary benefits from job.

6 ‘Life Management’ Lessons that 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani' Teaches You!

6 ‘Life Management’ Lessons that 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani' Teaches You!

Quite frankly I am a Jawani Deewani fan. For all the fancy setting and faulty storyline, Deepika’s mini skirt and the bollywoodness borrowed from DDLJ, I choose to ignore them. Because there are things which are ‘far beyond to be seen’ in that movie. There are emptions which can be felt only when you have been there. There are lessons which can’t be taught in management schools.

Higher Education for all: Blessing or Curse

Higher Education for all: Blessing or Curse

Education, the word that makes this article possible. It’s one of the greatest gift human’s possesses, it standardizes common practices, it enables people to think far and big; in a single word it’s what drives an economy. The world knows and agrees education is important but sometimes we become so biased and relaxed with what is assumed to be the norm we fail to deliberate on an issue and fail to make it better and that’s what I will try to do. I shall begin by saying that I am for pro-education for all person, living in a third world country where still millions of people are uneducated, I have seen through my very own eyes what education does to a person’s outlook, his ability and more importantly to the society in and around him. Education as a single instrument can be the cause of upliftment for an entire economy, the developed nations of the world as we know such as Germany and Japan is built on a solid foundation of knowledge and skills which is obtained through education. So, there is no denying the far reaching impacts of education on a society and this basic fact in known to all of us. The problem that I wanted to emphasize is very India specific, it affect our country more than any developing nation. As we already know we are a developing economy with thousands of people uneducated and living under poverty. The education system of India is still in a developing stage with many of the people being first generations of school and college goers. The reason why I say that education in India is very different can be explained by the following reasons.

Football : More Than Just A Game!

Football : More Than Just A Game!

Liverpool’s legendary manager Bill Shankly once said, “Some think football is a matter of life and death, I assure you it is much more serious than that”. Those were the words he used to describe the sport of kicking an inflated ball on a grass pitch. Football is a captivating game and the most followed sport around the globe. BUT it’s still just a game and it’s hard to imagine how it could impact any more than its 90 minutes and the celebrations that follow. It makes me wonder if a game could really affect lives, companies and nations.
