Random Thoughts: Educated Illiterates

Confusing title for a post, isn’t it? Well as confusing as the title may be, the set of people who are the main reason behind this post are far more confusing. Have you ever come across someone who has been educated for almost 20 years of his/ her life in English, but can’t hold a conversation in English? If this comes as a shock to you, you’re definitely blessed (consider yourself really fortunate) to be around people who do not belong to this category but trust me, they are large in number and not that difficult to spot. Also, I’m not referring to students who’re from the most remote villages but students who are from Mumbai, have a college degree and still (in my opinion) are as illiterate as a person can be.

Random Thoughts: MBA and the ultimate goal

Disclaimer: The post below doesn't speak about all the students doing their MBA. If you're highly offended by the post below, you're either one of the students being mentioned below or just oblivious to the entire situation. In any of the cases, I sincerely feel sorry for you. My deepest sympathies are with you my friend ;)

The process of getting into a good B-School (Business School) is pretty structured. Students start with the grind of preparing so called entrance exams which is known to test how fast and accurately a student can answer questions based on elementary maths, not so elementary English, deciphering various charts or paragraphs filled with data which you convert into information to answer questions, and in some cases even add ons like General Knowledge etc. What seems like an exam actually resemble the gates of hell if not the place in itself.

Random Thoughts: Blackberry

This is the first post in the serious of an idea that I call 'Random Thoughts'. The idea of posts in this category is to share my thoughts with the readers about anything under the sun. The length, number of times when posts in this category would appear on the blog is all relative. I'd request YOU, the reader to please share your views and comments on the thoughts which I share because the main purpose of this blog is to ideally connect with the readers and get to know their point of view vis-a-vis mine. The idea of this post is about my views on BlackBerry (BB).
