Recently, the bug of making a website in flash bit me. I went on to do some search on some already existing sites made in flash. Here are a few innovative ones, without being too abstract that is!
Wish someday I could also reach this creativity level.
Master in Business Administration, that’s what a person is called after getting that coveted degree in MBA. After completing a whole term at one of the top b-schools, I have started to wonder.
Here, from the day 1, people are involved in promising big. Any idea for improvement is easily shrugged aside by saying that “Its in the pipeline” (Just like Indian Government’s pipelines). Class representatives (CR’s) are appointed and guess what, their main purpose is to “negotiate with the admin”. This goes on to such an extent that CR has come to stand for Cancellation and Rescheduling (they negotiate class schedules, postpone exams, assignment submission and what not)! Oh, and talking about the famed placements, there’s such a screwed up system (talking about business administrators) in place that there’s just no scope for aspiring beyond the conventional (You talk about aspiring? Hell, try to get a good summer placement on your own, and you’ll be subject to enough red-tapism so that you just give up). B-school’s a place where its the loudness of your voice that matters, ideas are not just immaterial, but also unwelcome (I mean in practice . In theory they all will harp about amazing ideas!). However, what strikes me is not that such things exist but that nobody even questions them. Everybody just takes this as a norm(Hell, my undergraduate college was much better, at least we thought of doing something worthwhile, and were encouraged). As if that’s not all, there are these “b-plan contests” that are organized by each and every b-school in which the sole purpose of participation is to get some stupid “CV points”. And I thought that these contests were there to excite the students to go for their own start-ups or something like that. The whole perception about everything is so skewed towards career success that I sometimes wonder if this is a place of learning at all. All that happens here is that you get a rubber stamp of an arcane brand so that you get that coveted million rupee job. And interestingly, everybody does admit that that’s their only aim of joining a b-school and I guess that’s the only time when a b-school student is speaking the truth. For once he’s not a hypocrite. Otherwise, MBA’s all about Me Becoming A hypocrite.
