Many would argue that with a large student loan, this 'gyaan' sounds good but isn't realistic, as the pressure on them is too high. But, at the same time, I hear more and more people (even the ones passing out from premier institutes) complaining, “I didn't learn much in my two years of MBA”. I believe there is a much greater need for all of us to not let our short and long term plans (basically CV points) overshadow our current plans and our on-going journey. There is a need for all of us to stop running every once in a while and simply stop and enjoy the journey that is our academic pursuit instead of worrying too much about where it will take us.
As another protagonist in a blockbuster Bollywood movie puts it "Kabil bano, kabil...kamyabi toh jhak marke peeche bhagegi" meaning ‘one should focus on being competent; success will follow’.
