YOU KNOW YOU ARE DOING MBA WHEN

U know you are doing MBA when:

1) You decide to commit suicide but put off the plan coz you just dont have time or energy for it.

2) You stop greeting people by saying,"Hi.. How are you?" but rather start the conversation by saying, "How many hours of sleep you got during the week" or "Whats your average sleep?"

3) You stop saying you met new people or made new you friends but rather call it "Networking"

4) Your big weekend plans dont include going to discs and dancing night away but the best plan seems the one that involves staying in and sleeping all day.

5) You start filling all the market research forms and surveys for your the people you know just in the hope that they would the same when you will need it, which you will.

6) Every time someone says the words "CSR", "ETHICS" your mind immediately goes on to say, "The purpose of a business is to do business." [Specially dedicated to NMIMS]

7) You hatch plans with your fellow students telling them that the only way to beat the cgpa or comparative grading system is by no one in the class studying and everyone scoring bad and equal marks.

8) Every time someone says the word "CASE" in any context your heart comes to your mouth and you immediately have a picture of a 100 page case study to be studied in your mind.

9) Your nightmares include your college profs and attendance hassles.

10) You start hating internet, specially emails coz every time you log in to your mail account you see minimum of 5 new mails telling you what all things are to be done- assignments to be submitted, cases to be read etc etc.

MUMBAI

A city that needs no introduction- A city that never sleeps- The city of dreams- The Maya Nagar- The city which got back on its feet in a day after the 26/11 attacks- a city that has various such taglines and phrases associated to it.. But what makes Mumbai MUMBAI? what keeps it going??
Ask Mumbaikars this question and you will get variety of answers like 'The Local Trains', 'The BEST buses', 'The Taxi & Auto Walas' or even maybe 'The Wada Paav Walas'. But is it really true?
After travelling and exploring the city yesterday I realized one thing- Mumbai is not defined by Gateway Of India or the BSE or BKC, or TAJ or even the Locals that are often called the lifeline but it is actually defined by the spirit of people it has. Te spirit that keeps them moving and holding an umbrella even when they are drenched as it is. The spirit that makes them travel in overcrowded local trains daily. The spirit that tells them that their dreams would come true one day if they stuck on through the difficult parts. It is the spirit of the people that defines Mumbai.
Some people call Mumbai life 'FAST' while others call it 'HAPPENING' but yet again what makes it fast and happening is its people. Everyone works in a synchronity that amazes an outsider. This synchronity is what people call the "Rhythm of Mumbai' which you either catch or you dont. You would rarely find people who find Mumbai to be an 'okay' city- everyone would either love it or absolutely hate it and that is what defines the city. The city would throw a googly at you each day but also teach you how to develop the survival instincts for the same. And even before you realize , you have caught the spirit of Mumbai and you are a part of its lifeline.
Mumbai- a place where train is never around 5 but is at 4:56 or so- a place where most of the things you get as street food would have 'Paav' as main ingredient- a city which can be defined by nothing other than people it has who have made Mumbai what is and shown the world what a tough lot they are.
