Warning: This post contains a generous helping of ramble. 992. I clicked on my name on Facebook and looked at the left side of the webpage. 992 ‘friends’. Just 8 away from 1,000.

I’ve been meaning to write a post about this for quite some time. I think about it every time I see these ads on TV, which leads to thoughts about the lack of creativity in the film industry. So, right into it then… Let’s begin with some “mindblasting”… what in the world were the admakers [...]

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.
