GPA v/s Knowledge..!

i got a rap from my uncle today for scoring a 5.something cgpa..according to him and others, CGPA do count a lot ( read:important) and gives u some value addition..
however,i beg to differ..!
for me...i believe tht cgpa is just a eligibility cut off to sit for placements..Its over hyped and over rated..!!
what happened for the knowledge we thirst for?? wht abt learning abt different business terminologies(with their applications etc),strategies etc??
i believe in the knowledge MBA imparts and not the shit we dole out in papers to get marks!
@ times,u may or may not remember some points in the test paper, does that mean we are dodos?? we know nothing?? a mere test paper cannnot decide our fate.. it can lead us on a track but not decide..!
let me come back to cgpa matter,and tell u the reality.. the more closer a person gets to a professor the more numbers(marks) he gets..!! its a said and done thing in IBSB..! something like "u take care of me and i will see u r taken care of"..! many ppl in IBSB are crazy abt GPAs just to secure a job.. their motivational factors are different. from proving a point till paying of their loans! the book worms who make a mark on the GPA roster may or may not achieve the desired knowledge!
to conclude...
i give a damn abt gpa.. it doesnt define what type of a person iam or i would be!!
but the knowledge i got from MBA ( yes, its a definite value addition! iam seeing business in a clearer and better perspective) is definitely worth its salt !! a 5 pointer may exceed in his career tremendously whereas a 9 pointer may fail to do so !! its all upto ur capabilities and abilities.

Exams and their torture..!!

hey ppl.
the devil is back in the blogging scene.I was temporarily disconnected owing to the "EXAM PRESSURE".....
firstly let me advise all the MBA aspirants not 2 pursue this goddamn degree...
its too stressful and demanding.. even if u survive it (even by a margin), the placements (carrot at the end of the stick) is a far flung dream... thanks to the heavy word RECESSION...!!
now,.. coming back to the ICFAI BUSINESS SCHOOL EXAM For 2nd sem... ur marked on the basis of ur paper but on how ur neighbour performs.. yes this distorted system is called relative grading.. it can make ur GPa or break it..
An important Qualification/trait u have is MASKAFYING! u must be capable to butter ur faculty to the hilt...in our parlance it is called A** licking..! very very essential (iam poor @ it so less marks).. this is in lieu of internal marks.. they form crucial part of ur grades.

Exam time in our hostel was sight to behold... everyone awake till the wee hours of morning... making coffee @ 3 in the morning for a bunch of girls who feel like burning the book cover to cover..!
and we greeted others by "are u able to study? how much did u complete?"
whereas i was " excuse me ? which exam 2mrw? portion??"lol..
our nerves were frayed to the last neuron..so much to cram.. so much to understand.. plain and simple SO MUCH !! but less time..
i actually went blank in HR paper.. thanks to the sleepless nights earlier..!
the variety of mixed emotions found after the exam was hilarious.. esp LAw and Finance papers.. only word which everyone ( i mean 540 students) said GOT RAPED !!!!
yet everyone was dutifully logged in Gtalk and with their Superb Taglines....
i had never studied so much in my entire life as i did for this exams.. i just wanted to clear all papers and not give summer term..phew.. it was streneous !!!
chalo at the end of the day, we got raped by few papers and we managed to rape few papers...
right now my whole batch is chilling @ their homes and waiting in anticipation to see whatt the SIP time turns out to be..
All's well that ends Well..
do post comments..
muaaahh !!

Bollywood..!!

The hindi movie industry has come a long way from alam ara ( the first talkative movie)... many directors,actors,actresses,singers,musicians etc have proved their talents consistently. well since it is a huge topic to b discussed, i rather prefer to write abt things that fascinate me and my own perceptive.
i loved the way mughal-e-azam was shot and its music.. i mean the way the sets were constructed, the jewellery and the songs were mindblowing..! the way madhubala danced for "pyaar kiya to darna kya" was mesmerizing... loved the shot when she says ( pointing at akbar , well potrayed by prithviraj kapoor) ab bandon se darna kya ! ...mashallahhh !!!
Loved all item numbers by HELEN !! wow.. she had the oomoh and cutzpah of rocking the screen... be it mehbooba mehbooba, aa jaane ja, yeh mera dil or monica .... she was awesome..!! her clothes were a step ahead of their times and she carried it off with elan...!!
the haunting,slow and fast music ( in short retro music) has its own charm..... be it aayega aanewala,mera saaya,om shanti om, waada raha sanam,kitna pyara wada etc... were like a soothing balm to ur senses....
the couples in bollywood had a sizzling chemistry ( hard to find it these days) examples: neetu--rishi, amitabh--rekha,rishi-dimple etc ... these couples were usually only for reel... but i would have loved to see amitabh and rekha together..
moving to the present.. we find very hyped and no substance movies.. i was lured and duped when i saw saawariya.. i mean common i didnt get my money's worth ( it would have been worthwhile if i saw ranbir fullly nude lol).. the most trashiest and certainly not expected from sanjay leela bansali... TASHAN... god plz forgive our sins when we actually saw the movie(or anyone who evn thought abt it).. awesome publicity campaign.. but no damnn story
We literally have to leave behind our brains @ home when we step in the threshold of a theatre (oops i mean multiplex,theatre is so passe)... but yes we shdnt forget out wallets for the $2 worth coke... this is price discrimination !!!
Loved the movie BLACK and taare zameen par.. i actually could relate to the characters and their apathy..!! wow.. that was hard hitting..!! i cried copiously thru the movie...
i just love shahrukh.. he is cute and hot but his movies goddamn it make no fucking sense.
i mean take kuch kuch hota hai... his line " pyaar ek baar hota hain,shaadi bhi ek baar hoti hain " so ba****** why did u love and marry twice?? huh??
next we see kal ho naa ho.. which is hailed as a innovative movie because it introduces homosexuality to indians.. ( aint we familiar here mr.johar??) .. i mean that movie was a mockery @ times to different situational crisis. !
well.. cant think of a specific movie now to bitch..( there are toooo manby to cchoose from)..
am sure the producers are saving a lot in the costume dept. the ladies get skimpy or fab inida stuff to wear(so they feel the character lol) and the men appear to be wearing their own stuff..

the Toast of the season these days are the low budgeted movies targetted at the multiplex junta.. i mean the movies a wednesday,the president is coming,dasvidaniya etc were actually path breaking,thought provoking and sensible..
when will other producers and directors wake up and realise that the audience have matured and evolved..we dont want see actors running around (ooty) trees, or crying (thanks to glycerine) etc... we want them to be real characters.. to which we can relate to etc...
and one advice, cut the publicity rumours and the crappy stuff..!! stop projecting ur lead actors in an false affair(which they deny hoarsely) just to pull audience in theatre..
FUCK u .. i am not paying 160 rupees to see a trash movie in a multiplex..i can download it and just fast forward watch it..hell with piracy laws etc...
well these was a quick take on bollywood..
plz post comments and views.. also suggestions for the next blog topic..
kudos,sayonara, hasta la vista
