Why MBA : The Real Reason

MBA - This three letter abbreviation stands for Masters in Business Administration. It means an entrance to the corporate world ,where the holder of this coveted degree would be assigned a position of responsibility from where he can change the course of history.
But  over the last few years, this once a shunned degree ,which was meant only for those people who weren't so good at studies suddenly had a change in fortune . The reason attributed to this change in attitude of the people have been tried be explained by many a analyst firms and consultants ,but who knows what actually transpires inside a human mind coz numbers are just a quantitative description and are not an indicator of the qualitative factors affecting the outcome of an event.
Over the last four years, I have attended the Interviews of most coveted Indian Institutions disseminating this degree to prospective managers. The institutions as we know them are brand in itself. To name a few, I have been a part of the Interview process of  FMS, IIFT, MDI etc.But there is one question that I have always faced in these four years and that is " Why MBA ????"
So here is what my answer that I give to all of them :

I want to gain a business perspective of doing things and be at a position of responsibility where I can add value to people around me and myself.
Now WTF is that even I don't know but  that is what I had been answering for so many years now because my elder brother said me to do so. He said it looks as nice a cake with lots of chocolate cream on it.
But, as an individual I am trying to analyze the real reasons of Why people wanna be an MBA .....

Reason for College Dudes/Dudettes : Oh Come On Man! We have so far enjoyed our three/four years of college and wanna have an extended vacation. We don't wanna do some crappy job,hence that answers for us  "Why MBA " .

Reason for IITians : We are the best brains of the country and an MBA from IIM - A,B or C would add spice to our degrees of IIT- K ,B or D. We have the first right to be an MBA and would be first in the competition of youngest entrepreneurs on Mother Earth.This answers for  us "Why MBA".

Reasons for Graduates whose Girlfriends are MBA 's  : They do an MBA because their girlfriends are MBA's ( Even from II*M)  and they have given their respective BF'S a stern warning that if not an MBA now then they would marry an MBA from IIM and a new Devdas would be born. Hence we know "Why MBA ".


Reasons for IT 'Unprofessionals' : Do I need to tell "Why MBA ???? "

Reasons for all other graduates from Arts/Commerce/Others : It was us who were meant to be  MBA's . How the hell did you ask "Why MBA"....


With this I come to an end to this post still searching for myself an answer to the question " Why MBA ???"

Chocolate Day, Propose Day, Rose Day or Another day : Diaries of a Singleton

 A day before yesterday I came across a post on one of my friend's wall on facebook who was blabbering something about showering lacs of roses on every path his love would walk and something like that. The next day again the same guy was proposing that girl to be with him forever and to grow old with him. I was like ehh... what has happened to him.
It was only today on Chocolate day (My day of concern), that I finally realized that Oh Shit! Its the week of love with the 'Shiv Sena presents'  Valentine Day  round the corner and how can I forget it. Yet,it doesn't makes any difference.

The status has been like that for a long time now that it skips my mind as far as I remember , I didn't had a partner in my school days, then I went to Engineering college ( The darkest days of my life) where there were more mongoose than the  number of girls and finally landed up in an office where there were 50% girls but 0% Guts. So the status quo has maintained so far and is unlikely to change in near future.

As of today My relationship status is not among Single, Complicated or Committed but of "Waiting for a Miracle".Its quite amusing to be see my friends posting status updates about how happy they are to be singles having freedom of their own and time for themselves but often complaining about not having a partner in their lives with the favorite line  being  "Yaar koi Bandi mil jaaye ".

So on these seven days of "Expression of love" our feelings of having a partner in our lives suddenly spikes . We try to hook up with every girl we ever tried to know ,talk or fantasize about.But But But! How can we get one , Since we are specialists at being singles. We try to do everything right from being flirtatious to spending huge amounts from our already fiscal deficit bank accounts but to no avail.

So it doesn't makes any difference whether its  a chocolate day, rose day or WTF!!!!! ( Wednesday,Thursday or Friday)  we were, we are, we will be singles until some Harry Potter ( Even Lord Voldemort would do) spins his magic wand and a partner comes into life.
In the end,signing off  from my office for it would be work time soon. Hope to feast on some Bournville's and the likes today on Chocolate day. A single that empathizes with every other single he has met in his life( around 99% of the people so far I have met).
