RFEUSE AND RESIST

Yesterday I was reading this article in economic times; it was about “rang de basanti” and the impact of the flick on our generation. The article said a lot in few words.

I gave it thought and realized that our politicians really think that this country is there “baap ki jagir”. Quotas in central government aided institutes are making lot of waves in the country. Delhi is already on a rampage these days with students of various medical institutes already on the street protesting against the proposal. Today as I went through the newspaper I read that our honorable finance Minister P. Chidambaram has also given his assent to the proposal. I wonder why we elect such ass*****. Anyhow few days back I even read about Rahul Gandhi in favor of the proposal. As if he had to drop a year to get into one of the premiere institute. The brat was born with a golden spoon and a dynasty to rule. He has done his education from Harvard. So that’s goes to show what he knows about burning oil day and night to make it to one of these institutes.

Its time we all resists and refuse to accept what the brainless politicians intend to do with our country. We all need to join hands and protest against this so called proposal. If we don’t wake up now, it will be to late for us as the next step in the pipeline is to introduce quotas in private sector.

REFUSE AND RESISTS

Placement for the unfortunate few

I have managed to get placed finally, ill b working with Duncan tea. The best part about the whole thing is I will be working in New Delhi and my office will be in GK-II M block market. Well I don’t know about how much work will they be able to make me do but I am sure its going to be a boom for the coffee industry. Incase you didn’t get the humor, I happen to be a coffeeholic. Well I know there is no word as “coffeeholic” in dictionary but I invented that for myself. I am not sure about inventing it either.

My job starts from 1st June onwards. I don’t know what my project is going to be but I am sure it will be better than my expectation.

I have no clue of what working is all about although I have worked with an event management company for quite a few numbers of years but still I could never figure out what working was all about.

Until the next time………….

My first post I guess has not been viewed by many but it still doesn’t give me a reason not to post.

I am Abhishek Singh, student of first year MBA. I am studying in ARMY INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT KOLKATA. That’s about me. My life isn’t that interesting, just another one like any of you. My first post would give you a reason to wonder why I have written something that doesn’t bother me or effect me directly but that isn’t so. I am like any one of you discontented with the way affairs of our country are handled by the men we have elected.

Talking about my life as such, I am stuck in this momentary lapse of time. I have 2nd semester exams from the 5th of May. And I can vouch on one thing that I am clueless about all my subjects. Not something I am sure you would expect from a MBA student. But that’s the reality. I am awaiting results for my summer internship. Yes I haven’t been lucky enough to be short listed for any company. It doesn’t mean that I am worthless; it’s just that my stars haven’t shined for me yet. By the way I happen to be the PRESIDENT of student council of AIM. That’s an achievement in it self.

So you would be wondering what kind of an institute I am studying in. well it has nothing to do with the institute, the problem lies in our country. Democracy is the reason why I am the president of my college. But that isn’t my fault either I never promised my fellow students that I would be the first one to get placed or do well in my exams. None of our leaders are qualified; they are just occupying the seats because of people like us. So that gives me an alibi.

The college I am in is by the way one of the best college in east India. Hence it’s proven that I am not worthless at all. Well my interests are varied, when I was doing graduation from Delhi University I wanted to join the Indian Army. I almost made it. But thanks to my stars I was medically found unfit. Not that I couldn’t climb a mountain or bring an enemy down but on papers I didn’t have an organ that was required. How fortunate could that be? By the way I was all India 29th in the merit list. So that’s another achievement. Anyways life is funny when u want to do something it will throw exactly the opposite at you. Than I decided that I would try my hands on MBA. Being a graduate I was sure that I wouldn’t get a job I deserved, even post graduation doesn’t get you one. But still post graduate degree manages to get you a decent start.

Yes I am aware of the fact that there are IIM’S in our country, but how many of us make it to IIM’S. Anyhow I was not bogged down by such petty things in life so I gave cat my best short and managed to make it into AIM.

That’s about all I know it’s a very abrupt way to end but I guess I don’t feel like writing more, hope to get few comments on this post. I promise next one would be even more interesting.

Till then…………….

MANDAL STRIKES BACK

2050- India the second largest economy in the world. FDI flowing in, SENSEX breaking all barriers, its all happening for India. Year 2006- government plans to reserve more seats in central government aided educational institutes. As it is worded, the 93rd constitutional amendment, inserting clause 5 in article 15 makes the hitherto inconceivable idea (Reservation up to 50%) possible.

Mandalising education is back in the news, with heated debates and front page articles in leading newspapers; finally UPA government has managed to make the news.
What is really horrifying about the proposal is that it has got nod from highly educated people of our society. Yes I am referring to none other than our puppet PRIME MINISTER DR MANMOHAN SINGH.
Where is India headed to when the educated people occupying the highest offices make proposal like these. True to its sense India is shining. Soon a day will come when the government would have to amend the constitution to reserve seats for general category.

The cheap Indian politics have yet again surfaced and shown its face to the world. For political reasons known to all of us the congress government has stooped down to its highest morals.

Mandal 1 saw protest nationwide. India witnessed RAJEEV GOSWAMIS self immolation bid. Will government face similar protest this time too? Has the new generation awakened? Well it is clear that the premier institutes would appeal to the President to look in to this but in a country where cheap vote politics uphold the highest stance, I am sure all efforts would be in vain.
India would truly shine. With educational institutes in future destined to find it difficult not only to place there students but to make sure that they finish there courses in stipulated time. As far as the brain drain is concerned, Indian politicians will have reasons to be proud off as India would lead the world in this foray.
