down and dirty

down, under and dirty....life on the eastern seaboard

before you read any further, this is not something driven by vengeance but something that is a result of careful observation of how things have been progressing (er progressing...naah going downhill) over the last year and a half.

over this time period i have seen how academic standards have gone below nadir, how merits dont count anymore, how flattery gets you to places and how caressing egos is more important than even knowing nothing about anything.

I am writing this to simply put in words what I have seen in this reputed B school that advertises itself as an educational institution but is comparable to a east european brothel, the only difference is that the stakes are different and the end result is 'socially desirable and acceptable'. what i had expected to see was meritocracy, instead what i found here was flatterocracy......the better you are at that, the better your grade sheet looks, i had expected a place that would ensure free debate, what i found instead were strictures on what one could say, do or write...everything needs to be sanctioned....some freedom of free speech.....free expression.....naah that aint here....sorry wrong address....

I had expected academic engagement with a practical interface and a strong social concern as the course advertises itself, instead what i received here was empty rhetoric, lip sympathy, empty words, callousness, apathy, pathological sense of helplessness and unwillingness to do anything...not even debate....nothing....infact
what i did receive was a smirk as much from the academic elites, the self professed experts as i did from students here....truely a bussiness school indeed, where people are schooled into thinking that life is all about ROI....so here we have it....every action is driven by a strong monetary consideration....everything that one does has to have a placement related interface....courses are floated not for academic fulfillment but to get placed....soon enough people are going to question the rationale of going to the bathroom without any incentive or farting without incentive.....its all about the undying craze for mammon and then off course there is one word that describes the experience.....'hypocrisy'

so despite all the talk and the acts that have nothing to do with morality or ethics, once you give either of these people a stage and a camera flashing on them, most of them have an orgasm the moment they hear about media publicity and when they start speaking, they would even give malcomm x a run for his money....very suave and articulate when it comes to 'talking' about social responsibility..one must listen these guys and gals speaking.....they would actually make a sarah palin look much brighter by all standards....flat out....people here could sell their mothers if it promised an ROI in the form of better grades or better pakage deals....


its all about grades....how you get it is immaterial....but dont be fooled by relying on merits alone....they wont get you far here...you may even end up at the bottom of the charts....you may be the butt of ridicule for speaking the truth here....but then its a wrong setting you choose to speak on any issue of social concern....'social concern' what the fuck...people are bothered only about themselves....and yes if speaking on this topic gets me grades...they would beat even a deep joshi comprehensively.....tell you something...most of them are class A machiavellians but would present themselves as nothing less than a dalai lama, but then dont go by first impressions....never do....ever....i did that sometime back and learnt the hardway around....these people hide behind their vulgar suites to hide their nudity but it just takes a sincere look into their eye sockets to understand how blank they really here and how sold out these people really are....

if you belong to this clan of 'people', (sorry, i didnt want to insult the animal kingdom by calling them as 'animals'). nevertheless in case you feel that am exaggerating...come over...burn money like candle wick (just 5.5 lacs) and feel the experience yourself....i promise you would never forget it....you would have nightmares that would keep things afresh....come over and commit professional, personal, moral, social, ethical suicide....at only 5.5 lacs for 2 years...its an unbeatable package deal....good ROI..isnt it...lose your humanity and become a mammon slave here...or should i call yet another pathological hydra....ready to suck other people dry.....
