The dilemma

It is the old thing really, once again. But with new angles.
yes. the same old MMMMBBBAA thing.
I got an interview call from Symbiosis this year and hopes are high that I may get more calls and even convert some or the other.
But being in this scene has led me to the very basic question now-  Should I go for the MBA?


My thinking (mind you, that's disturbing me from last so many days)-
I am 25 now and very close to being 26. Sometime next yr and surely next to next, pressure is likely to begin on you-know-what. If at all I manage to buy sometime, that will be max one more yr. So it would be me at 28! (Man! soch ke bhi darr lagta hai) So, if I go for an MBA this yr in a hope of meeting potential co-founders for my dream start-up post-MBA (and the hopes don't look that great, mind you), when I would pass-out from B-school, I would have already reached that dreadful mark- 28. I would, in all possibilities, have no(or minimal) time to do any kind of start-up I want to try my hands at.


Looking this from the skip-the-MBA point of view-


I don't opt for MBA and continue here till December'12.  Jan'13 (ok, I would be 26 something by then) , I begin my start-up or at least start working towards it, FULL time and in NAGPUR! I would face some uncalled for criticisms and extremely uncalled for advices. Assuming I cope up with all this( and I will !) , I will finally be where I want to be and doing what I wanted to do be doing.
Time flies- criticisms will fade away and the advisers will Shut Up. I would be completely by myself and that would be my chance to pursue my ambition; and while doing so, I would be having some time in my hand too (1-1.5 yrs - a calculated guess).


So what do I do know. My mind and heart are all for plan-B. Skip-the-MBA. I hope I get over this dilemma very soon. God!!


Not much cheers this time

Happy New Year !!

I thought this could be the best time to revisit blogging.
Wish you all a very Happy New year and wishing everyone have a great year ahead!


Like a typical what-all-things-happened-last-year article, let me put forth some that I remember well-

1. Japan earthquake and Tsunami - one of my friends was on-site in Tokyo when this happened. Everyone of us kept track of the happenings. He returned India safely. But the tsunami was a really bad thing to happen.And as I write this, I see on TV news about another mild earthquake in Tokyo.Can't imagine what must be the Japanese goin thru when they face these things so frequently. I only pray this doesn't occur in future and all live a happy and safe life!


2. Steve Jobs' sad demise- my long lasting desire of buying an iPhone finally was fulfilled in June when I bought a 3GS. It is a superb phone guyz, hands-on winner over most  them. I was in complete awe of Apple and would keep exploring the App Store and reading about Apple devices.
But Steve Jobs' passing away drove me even further , reading about the man himself. Hail the entrepreneur in him and may he RIP.


3. Anna Hazare - I knew nothing about the Lokpal Bill, before Anna brought the subject to all. Actually even after Anna started his fast, I was still unaware of the things, till my facebook wall started showing posts about Anna and the Lokpal Bill.
My view, after the latest debate on Lokpal in RS- Anna should indeed feel victorious and successful in bringing in a Lokpal for the country. The debabte is endless on the bill being 'strong' or not. But of all things, the point is- Atleast the Bill has come up and if passed, would prevent(or resist) a lot(in not all) corruption.Without Anna's movement, this couldn't have been possible.
So, Team Anna- take a bow for this revolution and let's hope that the Lokpal Bill is actually passed in 2012.


4. The great Indian victory and the disaster thereafter - They win the World Cup. They beat all comprehensively in most of the games.They play like Champions.And the moment u start believing this team is indeed the best performing side, they do what they did in England. I mean a 0-4 loss is just too much to digest. With the boxing day match down-under also lost, India has a lot of things to do in 2012.


Hoping for a superb and safe 2012! Cheers!!
