Countdowns begin

Posted on 16 Nov 2006 under GNEC, Journal/Life Updates

2 down, 4 to go… wrote my PTSP exam today. As feared, it was a tough paper and I didn’t do it as well as I would have liked. I think I should be able to pass comfortably, but that wasn’t the objective for these exams for me. I wanted to do well enough to [...]


Sellout And The Blues.

Posted on 10 Nov 2006 under GNEC, Journal/Life Updates, Site Designing

Notice anything different about the blog? Pretty much everything? Yeah, the theme and the ads (which you won’t be able to see if you’re using an ad-blocker). Let’s start with the ads… I never thought I’d ever put ads on any of my websites, but there they are. (I hear Manas’s voice saying “sellout” ) [...]


No Names

Driving down the highway, the wind in my face, Swervedriver in my ears, pen in hand. God washed the world today, sending his showers to wash our dirt away.

My mum says nothing is impossible. I was discussing this with Aditya this morning in the bus, and realized she’s wrong. It’s impossible to go to college and not be reminded of the silly rules at least once a day. It’s impossible to get the TDP gang at the back to rock out to Iron [...]

Posted on 21 Aug 2006 under GNEC, Journal/Life Updates, Life

Yes, everything bad happens all at once. Right up till today, college was bad enough… None of the subjects I have this semester are particularly interesting to me, none of the lecturers are bang-on amazing (one or two of them are really good, though… and also, to be fair to life, none of them are [...]


Management

My college (Guru Nanak Engineering College) also offers a degree in MBA (Master of Business Administration). First of all, let’s see what wikipedia has to say about the MBA degree: Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a master’s degree in business administration. Originally designed to provide engineers with management skills, today’s MBA draws applicants from a [...]


Sacrificial Lambs

Posted on 26 Mar 2006 under Essays, GNEC

The JNTU (Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University) has just woken up to the inadequacies of purely technical education in the modern multi-national corporate world. No longer are you guaranteed an excellent job solely by passing out of college with excellent academic statistics. Corporations no longer want untappable potential/genius, they want efficient people who can contribute quickly [...]
