5 Reasons Why You Should Never Date A PlaceCommer In A B-School

Comments
 

Nipunn Vepakomma

I am a student of NMIMS Mumbai batch of 2017-19. I intend to specialise in marketing. My interests other than marketing are lawn tennis, modeling, dramatics and singing.

Placecom is the most feared on campus? Hah! In our campus, after I stood up to placecom and humiliated them in front of a class of 60 juniors, I became the most feared on campus! If our ancestors had been as timid as most of us are today, we would never have got independence from the British. Wherever there are dictators and tyrants, there must be bold resistance. Only then the world will be a better place. Hence, my advice to all aspirants is not to be placecom's slaves. Or anyone's slaves for that matter. Standing up for yourself is one of life's biggest lessons which you must learn in a business school.

Brilliant feat, Nipunn!

This article is a gross generalisation. I have dated a placecommer and will be marrying her in a few months’ time. They are very dedicated towards their work. True. But only someone who knows dedication can be dedicated to you. They can sometimes not manage their work and life balance. But isn’t that the time when you should extend help and understand? It’s not always after all. Adept at lying? Well i’d call that street smartness. That doesn’t mean they’ll lie to you. So a salesman is a bad husband and a father you mean? A lawyer is definitely not good in any relationship by that logic! Wouldn’t be able to relate to them? Well, i have been able to relate to my girl everytime. It just takes love and patience. If you don’t have it then the fault lies somewhere else ;) No campus PDA... That’s just professionalism. So what if they get a lot of attention... How’s that a problem for you?

Hi, Dileep! The article is not a verdict, it talks of the experience of an individual. I agree that one person's experience might not make much sense to the other person. This article was not about right or wrong, it is about the author's experience, which had been stated at the very outset in disclaimer.
