Yahi Jiwan hai ...!!

I am not a "Seen it all -done it all- freaking awesome-intellectually strong " human being.And I will also not lie by saying that I made a lot of friends but I have met quite a few living legends in their own rights in last six months who are living-breathing-acting and what not example of the same. I will try to put some perspective about few things and people I have observed till now.

Ladies First

So what would you do if you find yourself getting more than a little attention, actually quite a lot more than your undergrad. You see , suddenly you are in the top 3 (compared to the girl next door in your undergrad) and you are being pursued by most enchanting opposite sex creatures. Ah, that’s great.

When you join a B school, and if you happen to be a girl with average to good looks, trust me most of the tom dick and harry are there to hit on you.

It’s a global phenomenon. Beauty preferred over brains anytime, any work and anyhow. You might even wonder how dumb the system can be , but nobody promised you a fair trial when you decided to take a B School way.

I don’t doubt the capability of “Indira Nooyis” in making but apparently its damn easy when the whole ecosystem (read profs, recruiters, boss) is there to embrace you. You can still be proud though for making it to the B School , it must have taken some real effort to clear that online exam . (No point discussing about interview, diversity is the buzzword :P)


So what about the guys ?

I have met few of the sharpest minds (and the meanest one , both rolled into one ) and some real bimbos. I have been lucky enough to meet intelligent, passionate and hard working (about MBA ) guys with diverse interest and career focus.

Since all tom dick and harry are from this sex, I will gracefully admit that there is this feeling of “missing the train” among TDH , and naturally they want to catch the last train home (read getting a gf)  which explains the desperation on their part.

Apparently we can put the guys down in few categories :

1. Pursuers : Have multiple focus, possess average to good looks and have been unable to catch any train till now.

2. Sissys : Part of girl gang. They act, behave, talk and needless to say think (Oops misnomer) owing to their close association with girls . Provide enough opportunities to other categories of guys to have a good laugh in a day or two. Respect buddies, your contributions towards the humanity (sisterhood and brotherhood) are unmatchable.

3. Studs : Respected in Public, abused in private by fellow beings.

4. Give-ups: They do a simple math, when the ratio is more than 1:10, don’t fight.Some real visionaries come out of this category. And yes I proudly belong to this category

Well since its a dynamic course people switch the categories depending on the probability of catching the train.

And oh yes, there is common category for both sexes where people are “committed” to some other human being studying/working in geographical distant institute/company.

Well I have seen people tearing up that relationship contract quite a few often to believe in any such thing , but nonetheless “commitment” helps you enjoy the best of the both worlds. (Thanks to Pursuers and the Sissys)

PS :- No offense to anyone.I know each of my friends can easily classify them in one of these groups :D

Hope to keep blogging
