Who Care's.....

I look at some individuals and wonder at times how must these people be defining the word “feelings”....Do they ever feel for anyone...feel in the sense does it ever occur to them that if I said this or did this in what way would I affect the other individual...does this thot ever pass their subconscious mind...forget abt consciousness...but at the same time I don’t know why I appreciate this attitude also...I appreciate the way these individuals that total I-care-two-hoots attitude...it must be saving such a lot of their time and mental peace in not trying artificially to be nice or good to others...so much of their time is saved in not wondering if what they said or did did it make them get into the bad book of the other person...these newly coined words “attitude” , “maturity” , “practical” and “boldness” in our generation..I somehow do appreciate those people who have these qualities in them....I mean just imagine if all of us would just do what we feel is right not really caring abt what others think till we are within limits of not doing atrociously unthinkable deeds falling on the socially unacceptable parameters....say I don’t believe in performing 100 pujas or a simple thing like if I had non-veg I shouldn’t be visiting temple on that particular day...I mean why on earth my eating habit should be a constraint on me to not remember God on some day...let me visit the temple on any day I wish to...afterall I am visiting the temple to earn some mental peace so why these restrictions...why fast on puja days...how does me being hungry result in greater good...what is the logic to it...why shudn’t I just plain sit and pray to God the way I like without punishing myself by keeping myself hungry and why can’t that result in prosperity for urself and others....

I am glad a lot of these things are not being cared by the younger generation...yeah may be feelings are getting eroded away...may be all this has always been done to make the elderly feel the control and respect by us following their set rules and traditions...but it definitely results in saving on a lot of our mental peace. Half the time I had seen housewives in and around me gossip about every dog and cat too if they can spot one on the road at the time of their gossiping...and today’s generation doesn’t care a pence on how someone is leading his or her life...or what who had told them which was against them or not in their favour....simply put who cares there are thousand other things for me to bother about.

Sometimes I seriously think yes this technology intense generation of ours...ambitious blood...although criticized for having the maximum no. Of break ups and divorces are all definitely leading a better quality of life . I mean yeah, so why shudn’t there be a break up between two people not compatible and not happy...who cares what society thinks...finally its their mental peace which is at stake....

All this sounds so logical and practical to us when we take examples like these...but somewhere still there is a flaw...where can there be a flaw....something still seems wrong in this rationale......what can that be...

Could it be that isn’t the logical end to all this in someway is loneliness......estrangement....solitude. Will the generation tomm have a logic to defy this also...can this also be overcome with rationale...

Why MBA?

Recently one of my cousin’s saw me online at 4:30 A.M in the morning and pinged me asking “What’s up?” and as usual my reply was “Dying”....and he was like “why the hell do u guys work so hard...you literally scare me to opt for MBA...why do people ever do MBA if it requires so much of ur mental peace?”...and I was like “well good question, if u r not able to find the most suitable way to commit suicide then join MBA”...having said that I logged off and continued with my marketing assignment on which I had already spent 48 hrs of labour...yes, when I say 48 hrs it is 48 hrs straight of sleepless time spent on the assignment...

Definitely that wasn’t the best time to ask me as to why MBA if it requires so much of ur perseverance and effort...but yeah, its true it requires a lot of time management...and when I mean time management I mean sleep...u need to have the stamina or rather I shud say u develop the stamina to stay awake for 24 hr stretches at time...if required even for days together...you would see most of us online 24*7....but then behind all the cribbing there is a sense of satisfaction...today if someone asks me the same question as to why MBA I wud answer just in one word...”satisfaction”...well if it sounds ambiguous then I can only say then may be you should not be considering an MBA afterall....

There are people who find satisfaction in earning huge bucks at the end of their degree...and if there is a recession they regret their decision for doing MBA...there are people who just do an MBA because they just want to elongate their college days by another two yrs and postpone the heavy mind boggling decisions of career and all till as long as they can....there are also people who are dissatisfied with their jobs and try changing their careers by doing an MBA...afterall grass looks greener on the other side...but among all these people whichever category you belong to you definitely one day pat urself for taking the decision of doing an MBA provided you earn satisfaction out of it...you earn satisfaction out of the curriculum...the busy schedule..the never ending session of classes that can start as early as 7 in the morning and continue till 12 in the night with an assign submission following the nxt day...the mere toil that goes in...the sleepless nights that go in...the toughness of the schedule...the extent to which you can stretch yourself...all this have to induce and imbibe a sense of satisfaction in you....you can only appreciate the entire thing only when you feel spent at the end of the day and feel sleep overpowering you ....only to close your eyes with a sense of accomplishment. That is what MBA gives you....the sense of accomplishment...sense of satisfaction...a mode to re-discover your potential...a sense to re-discover new ambitions...a place where you find a new definition to ethics and develop your own set of morals...

If you ask me I would also stand by the statement that MBA is not for everyone. Earlier when I used to prepare for these MBA entrances I always used to argue saying what do u mean by u need to make a difference..what do u mean by saying MBA is not for everyone...its people like us who make it there...but after having joined the course I wud say for being an MBAite you certainly need a different kind of aptitude...in other words you need immense inner strength a little of it which you would need prior to MBA and most of it which wud develop during the course...

Another beautiful thing that I have discovered about the course is that the students have immense self confidence in themselves...they don’t question themselves even once about their individuality...each one here is an individual in their entirety...the sense of individualism that comes from MBA...

That doesn’t mean there aren’t people who haven’t adopted shorter means and “extra talented “ ways to achieve the same thing for which you might have spent two sleepless nights. That is the beauty of the course...you have innumerable options...you have shortcuts available as well..it all depends on what do u derive your satisfaction of...MBA is unique...its a tool which you can either use to nourish your inner strength ....build your confidence or boost your ego...and mind you both aren’t the same....but whatever it is just like any other institute where toiling hard reaps its results ....just that the results are not something that can be seen but are subjective and are to be felt in terms of satisfaction that you earn out of them....just as I started the post with.... yes, MBA is a means to commit suicide but the beauty of it is that you yourself search the various means discover the hurdles and you derive pleasure when u find urself up and alive ready to face the next hurdle...only if u can develop the right attitude to do this you can truly appreciate the essence of an MBA otherwise like any other degree MBA might just end with a black robe and a ribbon tied sheet of paper.
