Welcome to the 4th edition of the Ultimate Reading List. In this edition, we talk about a lot of things such as how social media has changed our lives, also about managing underperformers in the team and various other interesting things I found on net this week.
It's a struggle to get into a prestigious b-school. But the struggle is not real. Burning the midnight oil, leaving a stable job, hundred of hours spent in coaching classes, and 'n' number of mock tests that you take. I'm sure every MBA aspirant and student can relate to this. But some MBA students manage to get into a top b-school against all odds. Visualise the austerity of earning Rs 500 a month and then making it to your dream b-school. Imagine getting accepted in your dream b-school only to realise you can't accept the offer. The challenges faced are completely different. This struggle is real. In this video, Devendra Dave, an alumnus of MICA, documents his journey of how he went about getting into his dream b-school, bagging a PPO worth Rs 55 Lakhs and more; all from earning just Rs 500 a month. Sure, it's a motivating story. But don't let this just motivate you but inspire you to go beyond your circumstances.

You could be anyone, doing anything - from working in Kuwait's scorching heat to putting in night shifts at Amazon's offices, if you want to do an MBA, there's a way. Watch the video to know how three people who had nothing in common chose to be a part of one common experience - an MBA from MYRA School of Business.
While Demonetisation and Taimur Ali Khan are issues that will die come 2017, one enduring debate has taken center stage in India's maidans, classrooms, and canteens. As more and more people are showing a deeper affinity to Messi over Kohli, there is a fear that cricket is being run over by football among its most vociferous fan base - India. Students of MISB Bocconi touch upon some aspects of this debate in this video. Have a look. Also, tell us what you think about it. This is not an academic discussion.
