Hum bhi hai josh mein ( we are all charged up….an hindi song). That’s exactly how I am feeling now and as a record its been five minutes and I am still able to maintain that enthusiasm. Now in times of “depression” and “recession” let me tell you why I am so. It all started with an article I read on the net about IIM grads beating the recession with their usual crore packages ( though further research came up with exactly opposite articles also). So that got me thinking “ hey whats it that they have got and I havent?” (other than brains….but I was assured by my OB prof to be a successful manager you don’t need brains but need networking skills), so this embarked me on a mission to find out if they probably had things different there and the best way to find out I assumed would be to read their blogs ( something like “confession” series). I did read a few published books also and though just got glimpses into their lives I sure enjoyed them for their humour and philosophical quotient.  So if I were to jump to conclusions at this point of time it will be these :-

1)      All IIM PGPs( that’s what they are classified as) enter the college with awe to be replaced by “ I am here therefore I am” a la Rene’ Descartes.

2)      Most start off with blogs ( I am sure hoping to make a million bucks later on like Chetan Bhagat) but then most  blogs are charecterized by initial deluge replaced by an occasional trickle

3)      Most cant resist a liberal dose of philosophy

4)      IIMs probably have a 3 credit course on How to write your Memoirs in IIM ( that’s just me telling the grapes are sour)

5)      There is no time to sleep in IIM

6)      I will probably never match their writing skills nor will I match their popularity ( mine will definitely be better, more philosophical and more bugging)

After having jumped so much I sit down to try to catch my breath and start penning , in the hope that some day some prospective employer will read my blog, mistake it for that of an IIM and push the decimal a few places to the right while deciding my remuneration.
