Its always pleasant to see sportstar ads in Hindu. They rouse the interest by combining a latest sports visual with catchy line and the body copy rants about whats this weeks sportstar is going to offer. The best thing is they come up with most creative pieces everytime. The sad part is that no one […]

Its a common trend in almost all b-schools in the country during the second year. People talk about this more than anything including marriage, junior babes and CPs. Suddenly we can see a change in the orientation of us. Its placements. Well, even I have a story to tell. For the last God-only-know-how-many-times I was […]

Well, this is not an unseen sight in most of the business schools. In search of something more than the obvious facts most of us end up speaking gibberish clad, verbose rant when someone asks simple questions like ‘when is the class?’.

The rest 0.001% is profoundly worried about a strange exercise called summer internship. Once upon a time some body will say, “it is the minority which define the majority”. So lets talk […]

Last time I remember a mainline media house (be it TV, news paper, web) harping on about one news item from various angles in the first page/headlines was probably pokhran blast or wait.. was it CAT leak??? But it looks like mallika sherawat is the next happening thing to India. How else you can explain […]

The small gifts of surviving the first years rigor and routine include ample time for browsing and reading. Its quite sometime since I read a news paper or visited news site. So I thought why not visit the rediff and eco-times. And what do I find? CEOs love the seat by chauffeur screams ET. Out […]

My romance with the wonderful city called mumbai is coming to an end in another few hours. I will be packing my bags and leaving to VT by 8:30 tonight. It actually has been one hell of a vacation with loads of new friends and new experiences. But if there is one theme that remained […]
