Management education sector in
India has killed the goose! I don’t want to bore you with the gory details but
this article (…<a href="http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/09/10/india-education-mba-business-schools-idINDEE88900W20120910" target="_blank">tough lesson in supply and demand</a>) by Reuters is quite an eye
opener.
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
To understand how we managed
to dig ourselves into this hole, I will try to, in brief, narrate the sorry
tale. Business education India was doing well. Good schools, great faculty,
very competitive entry barriers and a gradually opening economy meant that both
the supply and the quality of the output was good. I remember times when
getting into a business school used to be a matter of achievement and only the
best could do so. The debate whether an entrance examination can decide on who
is good or the best is an ongoing one and we will dwell upon that later. Not
only was it difficult to get into a B school, it was hard work surviving one. I
remember some of our seniors narrate horrors of great schools like the IIMs and
few others!</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
So the situation was quite
simple. Only the brightest were getting in and once in they were being ground
and polished by the best and it is only logical to assume that if the input is
good, the processing is good, the output will be good too.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
The demand for managers in the
industry, the number of business schools and the number of MBAs passing out
seemed to be in a state of equilibrium. Then in 1991, India initiated economic
reforms and the lumbering state controlled, Soviet modeled, Hindu rate of growth
loving economy went into overdrive. I still feel the rate of change was too
fast for the society to adapt to. As business grew, MNCs came in, the demand
for management graduates grew beyond what could be serviced by the established
business schools. This was probably where the government felt the need to open
the management education sector to the private sector. Maybe the decision was
in part motivated by the need of business schools spread all over India rather
than being clustered around few educational hubs like Delhi, Pune, Mumbai and
Bengaluru.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
The intentions were good but
the implementation was atrocious. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>AICTE
was tasked to oversee the affiliated colleges and UGC was supposed to look
after the private universities. And like many other businesses, management
education became over regulated and under managed. I have had the chance to
witness two inspections and I tell you, in this country of scams, the
regulation of private educational institutions is another one. Fictitious data,
blatant violations, absolute lack of quality faculty and much more were ‘overlooked’.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
The presence of a huge
aspirational middle class and lax regulation saw management education become a ‘business
opportunity’. That brought the flies in! They came in droves! Businesses with
no experience of managing educational institutions were allowed to set up
business schools and the rabid gnawing at the market began in earnest. I have
seen with my own eyes the counseling session by a university where the private
colleges affiliated by that university were engaged in a competition for
admissions (what we now call ‘numbers’) that reminded me of the opening scenes
from the movie Black Hawk Down where starving swarms of Somalis mob a relief
truck!</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
I am not against private
enterprise in education. In fact some of my dream destinations to study are private.
But only those private educational institutions are doing well that actually
try to do so. They do not compromise on quality. But we do and we justify it
citing ‘market realities’!!</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Admittedly today the situation
is much better but that is only because everyone involved seems to be tired!
The mad gold rush has petered down, the fringe players have died out, the
numbers of MBA aspirants is large enough for you if you have a relevant ‘student
friendly’ USP!</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Colleges who learnt their
lessons survived. Get numbers, please them, don’t do anything that makes them
uncomfortable and then hope that they become your brand ambassadors and
recommend your college or university to their friends and relatives. Colleges
were smart enough to devise economic incentives for ‘motivating students’!!</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
And thus ladies and gentlemen,
management education in India became the mass producer of unemployable pseudo
MBAs today. People, who know nothing about education, set up colleges that
pretend to teach to the un-teachable and everyone is happy!</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
I may be wrong but most
business management students I have come across in the recent years seem to be sceptical
of the value of investing time studying. It is definitely not that they are bad
students or that they do not want to do well in life. On the contrary, most
students in the classes I teach are way better than what we used to be.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
In my opinion the blame lies
with the education system; the regulatory bodies, the colleges and
universities, the faculty and even the parents.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
If a student is demonstrated a
clear advantage of doing something it is safe to assume that most students will
do it. It is then obvious that if you want a student to attend classes and
prepare for exams, you just have to demonstrate the benefits of doing so. That
said, just telling them that it is for their own good is not good enough! We
need to make changes to our teaching and evaluation system where the students
who do bother to attend classes and prepare for the exams are actually better
off than those who do not! And as of now, I can confidently say that the teaching
and evaluation at business schools (at least the second rung schools) is not
doing that.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
But that does not absolve the
students. Working hard persistently is a habit. That is why most achievers have
been that consistently throughout their student life. My experience as a
student and as a faculty tells me that student performances do not see dramatic
improvements even though dramatic falls are possible. Most of us keep scoring
in a particular range throughout our student life. In fact, marks during 10+2
and graduation can be good predictors of academic performance during postgrad
courses.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>So being an achiever or a dud
becomes a habit!</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Then there is this issue of
many of my students telling me that studying <i>theory</i> is futile and that when the
time comes, they will deliver! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am sure
some might, but most wont. The reason is simple. Human beings are creatures of
habit. Working and achieving is a habit and so is not working and failing. Our
habits affect all aspects of our life. It is next to impossible to expect someone
to deliver a sterling performance in the industry when the poor soul has not
been able to get more than 60% marks ever!!</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Then should all those who have
scored less than 60% give up??? No…… They should make radical changes in how
they work and study. If they keep doing the same things, the results will
remain the same.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
The changes can be many and in
most cases, customised solutions will be needed. Till then, they can start by
believing in themselves and start by developing the right “habits”!! One good
way is to do the only job they have today. STUDY!! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Every morning I witness a piece
of magic!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A middle aged Indian housewife
walks up to the roof of her rather humble house to water the plants. There, she
meets a cat and transforms into a beautiful young girl and both put up a
riveting display of affection and playfulness! On days when the cat would not
be there to greet her she waits for it, looks around impatiently and at times calls
out to it. But when it is there, they meet like long lost friends and the
metamorphosis of a regular middle aged Indian housewife into a happy young girl
happens! Then as if answering to an unseen alarm bell, she transforms back to
the serious, busy, unkempt self. Moments later, her family starts to emerge
from their slumber. For the remainder of the day, this woman will remain the
housewife she is and even though the cat will always be there, she would not
even notice it! She cannot! She is a wife, a mother, she is responsible! Her family needs her to cook, wash, clean and not play with cats.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I do not know her or her family but I
can see that she is a housewife and a mother of three. Socioeconomically, the
family seems to be very close to what late Dr. C. K. Prahalad would describe as
the bottom of the pyramid. Her husband never seems to be in a hurry and even
though that is a state worth aspiring for, it is not a good sign if you
actually have to earn your living in the current social setup. The kids I am
sure go to school. Everybody goes to school in Kerala.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Back to the magic. Unlike her
husband, I have never seen this woman at ease. Be it morning, noon or evening,
I always see her busy with household chores. I have never seen her get ready or
groom herself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is always dressed in
a house gown which has seen better days. It is quite apparent that she does not
step out of her house much and that she has enough on her hands to think about
herself.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Not that it is a surprise; the
job of a full time homemaker is one of the most thankless jobs a woman can be
in India. We all know how deprecatory the title ‘housewife’ can be made to
sound. Even the most liberal minds around me have at times made statements that
reveal a moderate version of Mr. Mohan Bhagwat’s application of the theory of
social contract to explain the institution of marriage. Even though Mr. Bhagwat
was criticised for his suggestion that it is only natural that women remain at
home and look after the household, the idea finds sympathy in a very large
percentage of Indians.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Such beliefs in a predominantly
masculine testosterone driven society ensures that we bring up our girls as
passive, mute receivers of whatever our society chooses for them. The past few
weeks have seen vigorous debate and discussion on women’s issues. Admittedly,
problems are there and the good news is sections of the society seem to be
looking for a solution for many of them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But in my opinion, even the call
for gender equality irrigates the deeply entrenched feeling that women will
need to be granted equality for they naturally are not. A woman sacrificing her
career, her aspirations and desires for the sake of her family is considered
normal and that I think is where the patronising attitude towards women stems
from. So many successive generations have been brought up trained to ignore
their feelings that now being submissive is almost second nature to women. Whatever
may be your address, your income or howsoever understanding your spouse may be,
the Indian woman has been told that she is the one who has to make sacrifices.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe the housewife I see every
day is happy the way she is. Maybe it is all her choice. But if it were, why
does she don a glass slipper before the crack of dawn everyday and transform
into this beautiful, happy, carefree girl who plays with her cat? </div>

Why is he happy??? He is always smiling. An almost apologetic, sloppy grin! The worn out, out of style dark glasses and the white cane tells me that he is blind and shouldn't that make him sad, angry and maybe frustrated..... Anything but happy.<br />
<br />
He walks everyday from the railway station to where ever it is he works and I often see him at a rather busy and tricky crossroad. Kerala boasts of enviable literacy rates in India but all that education does not seem apparent on the road. The traffic here is chaotic at best and murderous on days.<br />
<br />
He walks through this impatient chaos everyday. I try to imagine myself on these roads with my eyes closed and quite frankly, I don't really 'see' much to smile about! Even otherwise, isn't blindness a good enough reason for someone to be miserable enough to stop smiling? Look at us. We find it so difficult to smile! 'There has to be a reason....' says a colleague with 6/6 vision.<br />
<br />
So...... We with the gift of sight do not see enough reasons to keep smiling but a blind man does! Hmmm....Ashish

Although at times I have felt that your coverage of issues is rather selective and sometimes seems a bit biased to my untrained mind. But today I am writing to share some concerns I have had for quite some time now.<br /><br />My brief experience with you guys showed me that what news will be carried and what perspective will be presented was always decided by the political affiliations of our masters. It was a rude realization that the fourth estate was not free at all! The masters were an eclectic collection of socio-economic institutions controlling either political power or money. I have seen how you compromised standards of your profession to metamorphosise into the vengeful vigilantes you guys have come to be known as today. I must admit that your proactive activism did bring cases and issues into the limelight and hasten their conclusion. But I often wonder whether this activist approach to journalism is your true nature or whether you are selective about the wrongs you choose to highlight.<br /><br />Take the Commonwealth Games as a case in point. Despite the fact that you have done a commendable job in revealing the underbelly of the Indian democracy, is it also not a fact that you have conveniently chosen to ignore many human aspects of the story. Why were the story of forced eviction of the urban poor not highlighted more than the mere passing references which you may given. You went to London to uncover the tracks of corruption but did you find out what happened to the people we drove out of Delhi? Why did you not cover the pseudo ghettos crated to cover the ugly sores of humanity that we otherwise see and disregard everyday in cities across India? Why was the issue of possible pool contamination not highlighted? Why was the mishap with the Ugandan team just given a cursory reference? Why did you wait for the Sports Minister to formally apologise to the team before you spoke a word about it? Why is a team accusing us of all things, racism? And why are we not overly concerned about the accusation? Is it possibly because of the wrong skin colour the said team sports? Had it been an Australia or an England rather than a Uganda, would your coverage have been more intense? I think yes it would have been so. Not even you it seems are free from the national obsession for <font style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"><font class="" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_JustifyFull" title="Justify Full"><img src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" alt="Justify Full" class="gl_align_full" border="0"></font></font>the fair skin! When you behave in this fashion, do we even need to wonder why the best business in India are the ones that can either make you fairer or can teach you English!<br /><br />I do not condone terrorism in any form and I do not condone violence by Maoists but take a look at your coverage of the Maoist problem. Have we not successfully (and somewhat justifiably, I admit) demonized a large chunk of the citizens of our country? I do watch news daily and I do not remember a single program that presented their side of the story. I am sure even you will admit that the biggest mistake the Maoists are making if that have not hired a good PR agency out of Delhi! The result is that almost everyone I meet knows that there is a “Maoists problem” and that “Maoists are terrorists”. But when asked about what could have triggered such a movement, no one seems to have any idea of the injustices meted out by the land mafia and mining mafia. And for some reason no one seems too comfortable dwelling upon the fact that such widespread plunder can never occur without active support from the state governments and a criminal disregard by the center. Then why do we wonder why the youth in Kashmir or the North East or Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh feel wronged enough to pick up the gun?<br /><br />I must say that I am getting tired of your pseudo nationalism too! I quit watching one you only because of the rather accusatory tone one gentleman uses while talking to guests on his talk shows! It is an embarrassment to see you be so judgmental and your propensity to pass verdicts! If you have the conviction to invite a Pakistani on air and then use your show to accuse him rather than ask or talk to him, then have enough courage to get your ministers on air and ask them about fake encounters in Kashmir.<br /><br />I can go on but I guess, I will leave you with a question a wonderful friend of mine has posed on her Blog (<a href="http://bit.ly/9KKc87">http://bit.ly/9KKc87</a>)....... Where the hell were you guys when the authorities were sleeping over the games???........... Don’t you think you guys woke up a bit too late???............... Have you guys woken up at all?....... And if indeed you have woken up, could you be responsible enough to show us what "should" be shown rather than what the establishment allows you to? And for God's sake Arnab, watch BBC for a couple of days and observe how they interview people!!<br /><br />With regards<br />Ashish K.

Bhanot<br />Secretary General<br />Organising Committee<br />Commonwealth Games 2010<br /><br /><br />Sub: A humble request<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Dear Dr. Bhanot,<br /><br />It is after a long time that I am feeling like this. As the Commonwealth Games 2010 approach, I am getting the same feeling I used to have as the Parent Teacher meet at my school would draw near! Never have felt such tangible fear of facing insult! I wish I am wrong but I fear that the games are going to be the greatest insult I have seen my country suffer at least in my life till today! But that is not what I am writing to you for…..<br /><br />I on behalf of at least ten odd fellow citizens of India would like to place on record our humble request to be spared of the insults you are heaping on us. I mentioned “ten odd” as I have not been able to meet more and I assure you that anyone who reads your comments regarding the hygiene issues at the games village will probably feel hurt.<br /><br />The issue is not the shoddy state of venues for an international event of such import. The issue is not even the ridicule the whole country has earned due to the way the OC has been handling the games so far. In fact the issue is not even the unmasking of corruption and the rot within the OC.<br /><br />The issue is that when we have already been disrobed in front of the international community, you still have the gall to make ridiculous and downright insulting statements. I honestly on behalf of my fellow citizens would like you to explain what you meant when you said that the issues being raised about the horrible hygiene standards at the games village are actually non issues. And that too because this India and that our hygiene standards are different from what “they” expect.<br /><br />I admit it Dr. Bhanot that hygiene standards in India are pathetic but do you really have to be proud of that and use it to justify the extreme incompetence your team has displayed. How can you even suggest that that "hygiene" in an Australia or an England means exactly what it is; cleanliness and in India it means squalor and filth? And let us for a moment admit your patently insulting statement, don't you think that when we are inviting "them" we should prepare our home according to "them". Do we really have to highlight the filth we live in?<br /><br />I am not sure what happens at your home, Dr. Bhanot but even we “unhygienic Indians” do not tolerate dog shit in our rooms and beds, paan spit on our walls and people urinating in our lawns.<br /><br />Dr. Bhanot, I am sure you are a literate man! At least the prefix before your name suggests so! I request you to cross the divide between being literate and being educated. Let us not sweep the truth under the carpet. If you want to sweep any thing, I am sure there is plenty to sweep at the venues and the games village!<br /><br />Bridges are falling, ceilings are collapsing, dog shit is stinking, the world is laughing and the Organising Committee is still singing “ALL IS WELL……”<br /><br />Please stop insulting your country, pick up a mop and try to save what is left of this great nation’s pride.<br /></div><br />Thank you.<br />Yours Sincerely,<br /><br />Ashish K.

And as always one can count on the likes of my dear friend Kawardeep Singh Bajwa to spoils a perfectly good Sunday on Facebook by initiating such debates! But as usual issues he raises forces us to look inwards and question, evaluate, consider some of our closely held but rarely understood beliefs. I will try to answer his question, “What is Patriotism?” very briefly.<br />But let me admit that my views are my opinion and not facts with empirical evidence to support them. My views are the progeny of my observation & interpretation of events and inputs from people I consider authority on the subject. I have also decided to let this be an open letter to my friend Kanwardeep Singh Bajwa!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Dear Kanwar<br /><br />I must begin by saying that I can only imagine the storms of internal conflict living in a foreign land and still being in love with one’s mother land can cause. But I do understand that now you will have a reference point to evaluate your feelings for your country. I also would like to place on record my sincere gratitude for being able to sustain your desire to positively contribute to social change in India. A successful arrival anywhere in the western hemisphere has been known to be fatal to any such intentions!<br /><br />I also like the fact that you usually choose to question rather than comment on issues. Now you may say that I am digressing from the issue at hand and am busy praising your philanthropic nature! But I assure you, I never lavish praise so easily. Here too I am using them to frame the point I intend to make.<br /><br />But before I go any further, let me state in no uncertain terms that you Kanwar are as patriotic as they come. I believe that patriotism is mistakenly characterized as ones love for a territory defined by political boundaries. I believe that patriotism is more a love for who you consider “your people”. I must appreciate your friend Gurinder Saini on his wonderful exposition! Come to think of it, he is right! I am sure we all have yearned for company even in middle of large crowds! The desire to be in social groups is indeed a very natural trait we as Homo sapiens seem to have inherited. Ever since I read your post, I have been struggling to articulate my feelings and I was not able to lay my hands on the exact argument I wanted to put forth justifying my perception of patriotism. I have to thank Gurinder’s exposition on evolution and our need to converge in social groups for giving me the break I needed!<br /><br />Patriotism, Kanwar I believe is a love for individuals one recognizes as his countrymen. But that love may not necessarily be for a geographic unit defined by political boundaries. Had that been the case, one would not see preferential treatment by expatriate social groups and communities for people of their community. I am sure you may have seen that in Canada (like back home) most of the Indians may not be able to “help” another Indian beyond a certain point but if an Indian faces some kind of problem on account of being an Indian, a lot of people would be willing to be a bit uncomfortable but help another Indian. I have seen how people react to reports of violence from down under. We like Gurinder stated have inherited the “tribe” mentality. The members of the tribe bonded with one another rather than a territory. Similarly teams are about people, so is family, community, society and country. India is not a geographical unit but a group of people we know are “ours”. When we feel for our country, we are feeling for its people. Yes geography plays its role too but that role becomes too. After all you need to have a place you call home but we know too well that as when man was nomadic, even modern society has not been able to obviate migration. Some of us migrate from one locality to the other, some from a state to another and some migrate globally. When we do move, we adopt our new home and learn to love it the same way we used to love the one we left. Even if we discount such migration, we must still admit that as a nation we do not know India beyond what we have seen and feeling for that what we don’t know is only because we know we are supposed to! Even if we discount the fact that we cannot feel for what we don’t know, imagine, the political boundaries of India are still dynamic with at least three nations disagreeing with the political maps we used to use in school!<br /><br />I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of people in the defense services and most seemed to scoff at the classical media driven, symbolic yet hollow concept of patriotism harbored by most civilians! We to have had the privilege of having had an Ashok Chakra winner in our friends circle. Most of the people I have met and discussed with claim that they do what they do as it is their job to do so and if they were to rank the intensity of their feelings for social groups, their unit and regiment take precedence over their country any day!<br /><br />We Indians like symbols! We love our heroes and we love drama! Is it then a surprise that our patriotism is driven by stereotypical images of heroes who have mysteriously ceased to appear after 1947. My boss who himself was in the Indian Air Force suggests that “One who does not jump red light to honor the constitution of India and to prevent any injury to any fellow Indian is patriotic” He further goes on to describe a motley bunch of yoga aficionados he bumps every morning on his walk in the park. They would go through the motions and in the end raise loud slogans; “Bharat Mata Ki Jai!” “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and unfailingly the leader of the group then spits on the sidewalk! So much so patriotism! According to my boss, you are a good enough patriot if you have civic sense, are considerate for your countrymen and do break laws. A drive around Chandigarh highlights the issue of most civilians lacing civic sense. We park anywhere we feel like, jump lights, speed, break all rules and we do all that as if it is the natural thing to do!<br /><br />I agree with Prof. Sudhir Diwan and I believe that a patriot is the one who loves his fellow country men, is a good neighbor, has civic sense, does not harbor extreme feelings towards any community, is positive and goes about his job in an ethical and socially responsible manner! You don’t have to a war hero to be patriotic. You can be a patriot by refusing to employ a child as a domestic help……you can be a patriot by not braking laws……. You can be patriotic by standing up next time you hear your national anthem play…. You can be patriotic by paying your taxes……you can be patriotic by not electing corrupt politicians to the parliament…..you can be patriot even if you opt to live in some other country…… In fact there are so many ways we can be patriotic! Why do we ignore the mundane and the ordinary and look for patriotism in great acts. Why can’t we be patriotic everyday everywhere? Why be selective and be patriotic by convenience? Why do we need to romanticize patriotism to subscribe to it?<br /><br />I am sure we will need to explore further, deeper but inwards. Patriotism then may emerge as a function of our own perceptions, attitudes and values.<br /><br />Pillai<br /></div>Ashish Pillaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03140265561406095144noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790192367775594856.post-14281534410919902062010-07-29T13:04:00.002+05:302010-07-29T13:12:27.365+05:30Kayani Extension – Implications for India<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">The US Secretary of State on visit to a “strategic ally” nation dropping in to meet the Chief of Army Staff of that strategic ally does not seem a significant enough departure from protocol to raise eyebrows. Yet the fact that Ms. Hillary Clinton did have an unscheduled meeting with the Chief of the Army Staff on her trip to Islamabad highlights the fact that if you are dealing with Pakistan, then Rawalpindi is as much the capital of Pakistan as Islamabad and arguably more so.<br /><br />Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani’s three year extension as Chief of the Army Staff by a democratically elected civilian government is a significant event. Even though the democratically elected government has been at pains to “explain” that his extension was needed to ensure a “continuity” of policies and strategy for a nation going through “turbulent” and “critical” times. Not that Pakistan watchers could not have seen it coming. Articles and discussion in popular media suggesting how vital Kayani had become to ensure the victory in the war on terror had begun appearing in 2009 and by the beginning of 2010, the articles and discussions had graduated from describing his importance to clamouring for his extension. Kayani’s extension and Lt. General Shuja Pasha’s extension as the head of ISI has once again underscored the fact that despite obvious moves towards democratization, the Army-ISI nexus in Pakistan remains as strong as ever.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Why is this trouble for India?</span><br />Gen Kayani seems to be gentler version of the army chiefs Pakistan has seen. Gen Kayani was commissioned in the Pakistan Army in 29 August, 1971 after passing out of the 45th Pakistan Military Academy Long Course into the 5th Battalion of the Baloch Regiment. During his career in the army, he has commanded an Infantry Battalion, an Infantry Brigade, the 12th Infantry Division based in Kashmir and the prestigious X Corps at Rawalpindi. Kayani became the Director General of the ISI in 2004 when the Pakistan was going through rather tough times with insurgencies in North-West Pakistan and Balochistan, Abdul Qadeer Khan's nuclear proliferation scandal, and waves of suicide attacks throughout Pakistan emanating from the northwestern tribal belt. In his final days at the ISI, he also led the talks with Benazir Bhutto for a possible power sharing deal with Musharraf.<br /><br />A quiet guy who loves his golf and his smoke has not been caught making overt rants against India. But the fact still remains that Gen. Kayani belongs to that breed of Pakistani Army officers who have not been able to forget the slight of 1971 and still harbor perceptions of India as the enemy number one. Add to that the fact that at least 16 lieutenant-generals in the Pakistan Army including some are now corps commanders are due to retire after November 23, 2010 and before Gen. Kayani’s extended term expires in November 2013. Waiting to replace them is the next generation of army officers recruited during Gen. Zia-ul Haq’s days of excessive Islamisation. Of more concern will be the fact that this generation of officers slated to become the top Generals of the Pakistani Army in a few years time has significant Wahabi influence amidst them. This Wahabi influence was by design as Zia-ul Haq aligned himself with the local Mullahs and invited Saudi aid to build Saudi style madarssas and other religious infrastructure. The famous Binori Madarssa in Karachi, Pakistan has been built with Saudi oil money. It’s illustrious graduates include Osama bin Laden and Omar Saeed Sheikh who was arrested in India in 1994 and was one of the three militants exchanged for the passengers of Flight IC 814 in Kandahar. Sheikh’s role in the Daniel Pearl killing catapulted him, the Jaish and the obscure world of extremist institutions flourishing in Pakistan onto the international stage.<br /><br />The coming of age of that crop of officers along with many still smarting from the 71 defeat will further strengthen the already strong obsession with India. It is only logical that unresolved issues will provide enough fodder for being used as leverage to provide a greater momentum to the anti India wave among the people of Pakistan and escalate the covert asymmetric war being fought in the Jammu and Kashmir by utilizing violent non state actors. Had the Pakistani civil society and the democratic institutions been powerful enough, any such overt or covert move would have met popular resistance and would have withered away. But Pakistan is a nation that was reared by successive generations of dictators and weak civilian rulers who have allowed extremist interpretation of religion and geo-politics to thrive. As a nation, Pakistan has given birth to and nurtured radical elements that were vital to the maintenance of dictatorships but the same elements now do not allow the civil society to express itself. The absence of any meaningful democracy has aided that.<br /><br />The recent unbecoming public spat at the Krishna-Qureshi press meet and the near collapse of the recently resumed engagement between the two countries has shown to the world (not for the first time) that in Pakistan it is Rawalpindi where decisions are made and not in Islamabad.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Implications for India</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The first implication</span> is that India needs to find some way of engaging the Army-ISI complex. Even though most Indians would question the wisdom of Mr. Shah Mehmood Qureshi for his insistence on guarantees of a “result oriented” dialogue on issues that have been simmering for six decades between neighbours who have fought at least three major wars, the need for a meaningful dialogue is worth appreciating. But we need to take stock of the situation and ask ourselves if by engaging the Zardari-Gilani government, we are actually engaging the people who matter. Enough evidence has been presented at various for a by different agencies and is widely accepted that the Army-SIS nexus calls the shots and remote controls the policies in Pakistan. It is therefore obvious that if the Indian Government is actually serious about using talks as a method to resolve the outstanding bilateral issue, they will have to find some way of engaging with the Army-ISI complex. Not that it will be easy as any overt attempt to do so will further undermine the civilian government in Pakistan and will probably be frowned upon by the world (read USA) as a stable civilian government is in global interests. The reasons for that are not hard to understand too. The A Q Khan imbroglio and a fully structured trained armed forces with extremist ideologies is threat enough and any simulation of what could happen if the civil government were to fall does not have a good ending. No one would want to see the classical definition of a terrorist as relatively small groups of individuals with limited training and arms get transformed into a large well structured army with access to nuclear weapons.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The second implication</span> is more sinister. India should start preparing for an escalation in violence along the LOC, the international border, the unprotected coast line, the valley, insurgents and sleeper cells elsewhere.<br /><br />Kayani’s extension and the imminent change of guard in the Pakistan Army will mean an intensified low intensity conflict. The use of VSNAs (violent non state actors) for the “cause” of Kashmir and the policy to “bleed India by a thousand cuts” is not working as was planned. The terrorist operations of Pakistan sponsored terror groups and the use of state support to violent insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir as state policy has received widespread condemnation from the world community. Pakistan has realized that it has painted itself into a corner with the policy of rearing extremists as it has worked against them not only in India but all over the world. Pakistan realizes that it is now recognized as the single largest nursery of terror on the planet and it only a matter of time before that recognition fuels action. The post Times Square bombing attempt warning from United States that any future terror operation traced back to Pakistan will invite decisive action is not insignificant. This need for Pakistan to reassess its policies has manifested itself in the decreased number of terrorist attacks in Kashmir but an increased use of “sponsored stone throwing protests” probably inspired by the Intifada. Though more effective at painting the Indian administration as brutal occupiers, it may be too passive to appease the hardliners in the Pakistan Army. Today they may not be in positions to influence state policy but in a couple of year’s time they will be.<br /><br />It is then prudence to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. It is in the interests of people of both India and Pakistan that sense and moderate outlooks prevail and despite no end being in sight, multidimensional positive engagements with all sections of the Pakistani establishment continue.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Ashish Pillaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03140265561406095144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790192367775594856.post-46709738576171725732010-07-27T15:06:00.004+05:302010-07-27T15:47:00.586+05:30Father, Son and the Country<div align="justify">I know what I am about to write can very easily be categorised as immature drivel.

I believe that there is no solution to the middle east crisis except an Israel and an independent and prosperous Palestine.<br /><br /><br />So the issue today......Could there be anything to read into a video of an <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT6Ol56bhz8">army unit on patrol breaking out into a jig</a>.<br /><br /><br />Not at all if it is what the reports say, "breaking into a dance..... stopping a patrol...." and that too in the West Bank!!<br />Post Gaza and post "flotilla raid" Israeli army has been demonized throughout the world and it was obvious that the PR guys would have to think of something to highlight the human face of the Israeli Army officers soon. But I am surprised that such amateur gigs would be used to compensate for what they have been doing in Gaza. Of course..... Not that Hamas has done Gaza any favours but still, nothing could have justified most of the "offensives" by Israel.<br />But digressions apart I am fairly confident that this was a well orchestrated event and not at all the "spontaneous" eruption of joy as it is being peddled as. Those who have had even a remote association with army personnel of any country would tell you that the probablity of infantry units on patrol in conflict hotbeds breaking into such well orchestrated jigs is next to zero. Probably zero. And then the timing.... The report says that the video has gone "viral".... That is what it was supposed to do.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">But why am I so worked up about it????</span><br />Even though the Israel-Palestine conflict is of no direct concern to me or any other average middle class Indian, we however (at least those who have an idea of the goings on over there) expect the state of Israel to take meaningful measures to at least try to set right the many wrongs that have been committed. No sovereign state can use the actions of any violent non state actor to justify state sponsored violations of human rights any where.<br /><br />And Mr. Netanyahu if you would stick with this lame propaganda campaign, I offer my services. I assure you, I can do a better job than whoever came up with this!<br /></div>Ashish

style="">et al</i> used to be terms only nerds would use and data security was not a major concern for the “common man”. . . . . . . . . . Till now!! During the past couple of years I have seen so many “common people” lose valuable work due to perfectly avoidable system infections. But what surprises me is that even now most people (even system administrators!) are fixated on removable media like floppies (who uses them now?) and flash drives as the most significant threat!</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" face="arial" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" face="arial" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-family: arial;">Not only are they not, the threat posed by them is easy to contain. By the way the most significant source of infections is the net and unsafe surfing behavior!</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" face="arial" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-family: arial;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" face="arial" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-family: arial;">Today I am going to tell you a trick that should prevent 99% of the removable media borne infections getting your system.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" face="arial" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" face="arial" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;">I am assuming that you are intelligent enough to be using a “working” antivirus and hope that you are wise enough to be using a comprehensive security suite (antivirus+firewall+antispam+ lot of other stuff…. Google it). I am also assuming that you and your antivirus software have a working relationship! Do you pay attention to it? Do you even use it? So let us assume you have an AV and you do use it and you have enough sense to “scan” every flash drive or floppy anyone ever brings to your system. There is however one small problem. Whenever you pop in a flash drive, it opens up automatically before you an scan it and then decide whether to open it or not. This is called “autoplay” a service smart guys at a small company called Microsoft conjured up to keep lazy bums like me happy! Now if you have a good antivirus, it will immediately scream out if there is any infected or suspicious file! Even the good free ones like Avira personal edition does that. But the problem is, if the drive has already popped open, the AV program may remove the virus, but our system has been exposed. It has been “compromised”! Not all viruses may have been cleaned! Maybe there was one that the program did not even detect! (even the best programs detect only about 95% of them!) So it is very important that you disable this “autoplay” function. Scan every flash drive, make sure they are clean, then open it yourself! I am sure you would not want Windows to take away your privilege whether to open a drive or not! So this is how you do it:</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" face="arial" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;">

Though at a relatively small scale, I am a part of a project group that is supposed to explore selected fields of socio-economic activity to identify and recommend road maps in those fields that can take India to a double digit growth.<br />As always, I cannot help but wonder what could be the role of management education in the regional and small business schools in helping achieve a double digit growth rate. My choice of the specific field of “management education” is a subset of the grander question of the role of education in a nation achieving sustainable inclusive growth. But addressing the issue of “education” and that too in India would need us to examine an extensive array of variables. Such a piece of work would be an interesting doctoral dissertation but for the sake of brevity (and my own limitations!), I chose to stick to commenting on issues in management education. Even in the case of management education, issues worthy of consideration are far too many for a casual article to address. I have decided to stick to the regional and small business schools as it is them that form a major part of the 1700 odd business schools in India and produce the bulk of the management manpower of the country. Moreover the established national players have the luxury of captive markets and great human resources.<br />In this article, I shall try to espouse my opinions about the following:<br /><br />• The role of regulatory bodies.<br />• What do we need to teach?<br />• How should students be rated?<br />• What should be the role of the placement cell?<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Seek Approval & Accreditation</span><br />On Jan 26, 2010, Times of India ran a story that ISB is among the to rated business schools of the world right up there with some of the best ever. Then on April 29, 2010, the same newspaper carries another story that the Hon’ble HRD Minister tells the press that ISB is one of the 201 institutions that are running without “government” (read AICTE) approval! I know this cannot be a good argument in favour of seeking approval and I do not intend it be. On the other hand I have been a witness to AICTE inspections at four different AICTE approved colleges and have seen how the system works! Any further explanation of this point would bring me into “how the system works” will bring this article into very dangerous and potentially libelous territory!<br />The target segment of ISB and the the excellent positioning of ISB that ISB aspirants do not really bother about approval but in case of “me too” business schools serving the aspirations of the burgeoning middle class at regional levels need that certification for acceptability among students and parents. Such colleges usually serve the segment of the population that still looks for the security of “government approved” label on anything they invest their money time and trust in. My logic is simple; as an educational institution, you will seek to attract as many students as you can so that you can influence and enable as many of them as you can. And for this, approval from relevant authorities seems to help a lot. And by what I have seen, getting AICTE approval is not a hard nut to crack! Once the approval monkey is off your back, you can focus on establishing and executing systems that staying within the permissible constraints can maximise the value delivered to the student, her family and the society at large.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What Do We Need to Teach?</span><br />I frankly have failed to see any point in faculty rephrasing what is already there in the standard texts and then expecting students to regurgitate that in examinations. The teaching-learning system at most business schools I have had any association with have been employing either the same “spoon feeding” system a student is exposed to in India from childhood or a variation of that. I had many friends and juniors who went to the IIMs and the IITs and I used to keep “interrogating” them to try and see how they do it these places. To my surprise, it was no very different from some of the progressive but relatively lesser known business schools I have worked with. The main difference came out to be the “teachers” and the “students” but the “methodologies” being followed were not very different from what we are doing where I work now!<br />The difference in faculty was that most of the faculty over there either had a lifetime’s worth of experience in the industry and thus knew what they were talking about or were constantly interfacing with the industry for training, research and consultancy work. This association with the industry not only helped them stay in touch with the practicalities and the realities but also helped them better understand at what kind of human resource the industry needed. This knowledge enabled them to deliver sessions that maximised the chances of a student becoming such a human resource.<br />The students were also different from the ones we see in the regional and me to business schools. Many of the students I met at IIMs and IITs had valuable industry experience that gave them an edge as they already had a clear idea of why they were there and what they needed to do. Then there were the freshers who lacked the industry experience but were a fired up lot. Considering what a student has to face to be at such a place, one can assume that you must be a fairly intelligent and highly motivated individual. At such places one can argue that an MBA should mean dispensing knowledge in the subjects opted for by the students and that one need not (and may not have a mandate for) tinkering with their personalities and mindsets!<br />But the regional and “me too” business schools may not be able to attract such accomplished faculty and such students. In such a case, it becomes imperative for the policy makers of such institutions to get together and develop a clear action plan based on the kind of students a college gets. As an example I would like to present the case of a college I have associated with in the past. Since the college was one among the multitude of undifferentiated educational institutions spawned by Punjab Technical University, we did not have the luxury of being able to attract very good students. In fact they were students our academic system had labeled as “average” to “well below average”. Rarely would we come across a student who had more than 60% marks in 10+2 or had a passable command over English or any idea why they wanted to do an MBA! Luckily for this college, some freak accident of nature saw some very capable and accomplished academicians and professionals converge there as faculty! The faculty body got together and after a protracted series of discussions and debates decided that focusing on “motivation”, “soft skills” and “awareness”. We also decided to not treat the students as “weak” students and exposed them to a very demanding curriculum. I am vey happy to announce that most of our students in that college who had been written off by the system not only survived but prospered. When I use the word “prospered”, I actually mean it. I know many of them and most of them who chose to build a career are already at middle management levels and many have started their own entrepreneurial ventures.<br />We just need to open minds and then sit back see them bloom! Of course we do need to dispense the mandatory functional knowledge but that is not the end. In fact I consider that the insignificant part at the regional business schools. Here the focus should be on training and mentoring to carve out an emotionally balanced, moderate, progressive, innovative and happy individual!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How Should the Students Be Rated?</span><br />A recent encounter with my super boss saw us at the receiving end of the following question, “What do the students want from the teacher?” Cautious answers ranged from “answers” to “knowledge” to “guidance” to “mentoring”. But we all knew when such a question is asked the answer is never this complicated! He patiently heard us all out and in the end, his answer was “Marks”!! That’s it!! Again I marveled at the simplicity! Come to think of it, what did we ever need from teachers? In most cases, it was marks! Even in cases of teachers like Dr. M. A. Zahir at Punjab Agricultural University whom we used to hold in extremely high regard and we would blanch if some one suggested that we went to him only for marks. Even in his case, marks were a measure of how well we “measured up” in his view!<br />What students believe is worthwhile to do or not to do is indicated to them by the kind of evaluation system an educational institution has. Take the case of another experiment in my current workplace. I saw that despite repeated requests to stay “aware” not many were investing the quantum of effort in that direction which I could deem significant. My current workplace offers great freedom in evaluation systems and I made it a point to make general awareness an integral component of all my class evaluations. The result was that even for the final university examination, when the knew that general awareness would not feature in the examination, they prepared for it and an year later a very large percentage of students were hooked on to “knowing” stuff!!<br />Otherwise too, I have seen that student performance in a business school does not necessarily translate into professional success. Ideally the regional and small business schools should identify the regular recruiters from the college and the recruiters they wish would recruit from their college, get them together and ask them to partner the institution for development of the evaluation systems. This will help increase the validity and reliability of the scales used to measure student performance at business schools. One of the main problems in my opinion is that the student rating and ranking is primarily based on “academic performance” and the tools used primarily measure ability to cram up and reproduce. The term “student performance” should be a multi dimensional construct that is able to evaluate the individual on various parameters that are critical for the success of managers and entrepreneurs.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What Should Be the Role of the Placement Cell?</span><br />The prevalent paradigm defines the role of the placement cell as a group of individuals tasked to invite companies for campus placement. This definition essentially degrades the role of the cell into a hard core sales function which should consider “Sell whatever the product is like” as its guiding mission!<br />I believe that if you should have a placement cell use it to interface between the faculty and students with the industry. The cell should partner in the development of a students right from the beginning rather than getting involved in the end or at the time of summer internship. The cell should act as the polishing agent that will design sessions and modules of its own for the students. These session should focus on career planning, interview skills, awareness etc. The placement cell and the faculty should meet regularly to evaluate the student development, propose changes, and appraise each other of needs and changes.<br />If the cell does it’s job well, honestly, the college will not need a placement cell! My limited experience as the placement coordinator for a couple of batches of MBA at a local college taught me that the role of the cell needs to be very proactive and consistent. It is not possible for a placement cell to swing recruitments in the favour of their institutions by making just a few calls and presentations as hiring at most national and multinational organizations are policy matters decided at the headquarter level where the placement coordinator of regional colleges may never even reach!<br />On the other hand, if the placement cell of a college can somehow enhance the long term employability and value of a student, the industry will start flocking in eventually!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How is All This Related to Growth?</span><br />Not only growth, sustainable, inclusive growth! The quality of business education in a country is a barometer of it’s development and when we talk of quality of management education, we should look not only at the IIMs and IITs but towards the small entrepreneur run business school with 60 seats affiliated to a state university. It is many such universities that churn out the next generation of MBAs in India. Most such MBAs are still afflicted with the “need a job” and “afraid to loose a job” mentality. If we keep on producing job seekers who are too scared of looking one, the chances that we will be able to achieve our goals seems remote.<br />We need to set minds free. Asking mundane questions and making students solve “ready to serve” cases will not help. Give them raw cases, let them “decide” something at every step for decision making is going to be critical. Make them do stuff!! “Decisive Action” as a colleague of mine says is the most valuable ingredient of success.<br /><br />The emerging business reality is fast and furious! Competition is intense, life cycles have shrunk but opportunities are there for those companies and individuals who are able to break the pattern and innovate! And innovation comes from free, happy, confident individuals. And that is whom we need to create!<br /></div>Ashish Pillaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03140265561406095144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790192367775594856.post-19580176546083378222010-04-12T11:25:00.001+05:302010-04-12T11:27:58.703+05:30Of Graveyards and Life<div style="text-align: justify;">A quiet place nestled in the shadow of the Punjab Cricket Association stadium, Phase 9, Mohali is an unremarkable neighborhood. A cluster of houses, hospital and a couple of religious abodes packed together in a cubical monotony so typical of middle class neighborhoods all across India. On April 11, the monotonous predictability and order of this neighborhood gave way to intense social tension.<br />Phase 9, Mohali along with its homes, hospitals, temples and Gurudwaras is address for a piece of land which is legally owned by the Waqf Board and is demarcated as a burial ground. In a country that is home to the second largest Muslim population in the world after Indonesia, this is too is an unremarkable piece of information. Waqf Board like other community bodies owns properties all over the country and burial grounds too are not an unheard of concept.<br />Yet on April 11, when the Muslim community of the area assembled to bury one of theirs on a piece of land that had been allotted to them for that, they were prevented from doing so. The otherwise conservative middle class homes where “Do not meddle in others’ issues” would be a common preach got together and objected to the burial.<br />What was to be a solemn and maybe a somber event that has been performed for ages transformed into a distasteful stand off between two social groups. I call it a stand off between two social groups deliberately. It would have been a far easier event to analyse had it been the more common and expected run of the mill showdown between two religious groups. In this case this was a standoff between two groups, but the differences between them were far deeper than merely religious.<br />The residents of Phase 9 who had objected to the Muslim burial were a hurriedly patched up coalition of predominantly Hindu and Sikh families. The presence of a mosque in Phase 9 means that there were Muslim families in the area too and maybe a couple of Christian families thrown in for good measure. On the other side you had a group of Muslims who were being vigorously supported by Hindus and Sikhs from their village. As both groups had all the religious groups in their ranks the only difference seems to be that one party to the dispute was Rural in nature and the other was Urban! One could also fairly assume that the “Urbans” were more “well to do” and educated than the “Rurals”.<br />Yet for some reason the more educated and the more “well to do’ took an uncharacteristically radical stand to deny what was a constitutional and human right of a community. Their objection to the burial was that as the plot of land was smack in the middle of a residential neighborhood, they could no allow what was an equivalent to a cremation to be performed in their midst. Right from seemingly rational arguments about the need for burial grounds to be situated away from residential areas to ridiculous ones like fear of their innocent children being attacked by ghosts were presented by the Urbans. The Rurals on the other hand had a very simple submission. They needed to bury their dead and no one could stop them from doing so on a piece of land that had been allotted to them for that very purpose constitutionally. Both parties began calling for reinforcements and in no time the event had escalated to a flashpoint.<br />One political party did get involved and as expected did all they could to raise the tensions and there was a legal shark representing the Rurals who too did all he could to convert the issue into one of “communal” injustice instead of a disagreement and misunderstanding. The administration for a change did well, the SDM, the DC and the managed to keep the tempers down and the ranting radicals at bay.<br />The day finally ended with an amicable agreement being arrived at that this one burial would be allowed to proceed as the last one at that location and the Muslim community would be allotted a suitable piece of land at an alternate location.<br />I feel what happened on April 11 in Phase 9 Mohali was a consequence of cultural insensitivity and age old dogmas. I am sure that the residents of Phase 9 are not the typical religious hardliners and did what they did in response to deep seated fears and anxiety they have of death and finality. Our perceptions of graveyards are moderated by second rate horror flicks that present them in a rather morbid light. In a country where the educated elite still subscribe to medieval beliefs in occult and mysticism graveyards are seen as a place of evil. This is in stark contrast to the image of graveyards being solemn resting places for the departed more common in the west and even the Christian and Muslim dominated regions all over the world. I am sure that the same community which objected to the burial would have been taken aback when a British court disallowed cremation in the open on grounds of it being morbid and polluting. Was this too disconnected from French establishments disallowing turbans or the Swiss government disallowing minarets on mosques?<br />I am sure the very community that objected to a burial will appreciate that cremation is as morbid to other communities as it is nothing more than a desecration of the departed to cook them on an open pyre. I am sure that the pious woman who was seen coaxing the men folk of Phase 9 to arms against the other community does not consider any other form of disposing off the dead than is prescribed in her religion to be appropriate. I am also sure that she does not even have an idea of what could have happened had the men folk be stupid enough to do what she was asking them to.<br />For me this event underlined the deep divisions and intolerance integral t our society. What happened in Gujarat was the extreme form of this very intolerance. This event also highlights the woeful inadequacy of our education system to address religious intolerance which in my humble opinion is the most clear and present danger to India.<br />I have decided that as soon as my son attains an age where he begins to understand such things, I will take him on a visit to a grave yard and will tell him that this where we rest till eternity. I will tell him that there are no ghosts in graveyards and the only ones he will ever meet are the ones in is own mind. I will tell him that his Mom whom he loves so much and his Dad, his grandparents and he too will one day need to sleep…….I will tell him that all these people who sleep here want him to remain safe and happy just like his own parents want him to. I will tell him that when people go to sleep they are put to rest differently in different religions. Some bury their departed and some assign them to flames. I will tell him that even if both seem different, it is basically the same. After all fire and earth are the basic elements.<br />I want my son to grow without fear of graveyards……. and death. I want my son to focus on what he does best, love life and live it to its fullest! <br /></div>Ashish Pillaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03140265561406095144noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790192367775594856.post-27533412890824799882010-03-18T14:09:00.002+05:302010-03-18T14:12:17.995+05:30Of Garlands and Democracy!!Another garland of currencies for the leader! I wonder why we the citizens of this country are creating such a hue and cry over these visuals of one of our esteemed leaders being garlanded for more money than what could have fed at least hundreds of households for years?<br />The fact that politics is a heady mix of power, religion and a lot on money has been known to us and yet the civil society actually considers the unholy trinity a necessary evil. Somewhere, it seems, we as a collective society has learned to feign shock only at instances of overt display of that trinity. Even Lincoln would rethink his subscription to the concept of democracy if he were to see the implementation of the system. We make decisions on who to vote for on the basis of extremely skewed preferences for questionable characteristics and that weakness has been exploited by few into establishing a political system where the public which it is supposed to serve ends up bearing the cost of lugging an unproductive and often callous office bearers.<br />The garlands were not a symbol of corruption, they were a symbol of a failed system where few decide for many and many who were supposed to choose the few are left wondering what happened!Ashish Pillaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03140265561406095144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790192367775594856.post-11844305492322269462010-03-18T13:55:00.000+05:302010-03-18T13:56:38.457+05:30Finally TERI.... Wow!!Upinder Dhingra got selected to The Energy and Resources Institute and that is one of the best news I have had in a while. Apart from a student succeeding in getting a job in a company what pleased me more was that I too had dreamt of working with TERI after my MBA. My attempts at associating with them were however fruitless. So a student getting in is almost like an extension of me getting in! I know, Upinder may not look upon himself as an “extension” of me but I guess these are some of the few luxuries teaching offers!<br />That brings me to another point. I do not see many MBAs look for jobs in the not for profit sector. Is it probably because they consider working for such institutions as working for less remuneration? If that is so, they are mistaken! NGOs and organizations like WWF, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, Teri….. offer more than decent packages compared to many conventionally attractive sectors.<br />More than that working in such organizations offers young managers a chance to work at policy level issues and areas of significant socio economic importance.<br />I guess coming semester onwards we should try to highlight such companies in the classes too!Ashish Pillaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03140265561406095144noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790192367775594856.post-24580308595792375352010-03-17T11:52:00.004+05:302010-10-26T12:47:23.025+05:30How We Create Negative Citizens<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">This is the story of one of the best students I have had over the past many years. This story, I believe may provide some answers to any of us who wonder why the future citizens of this country harbour such intense scepticism and negativity towards life in India.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">This is the story of my namesake, Ashish. His story is perhaps a good snapshot of all that has gone wrong in our country. Ashish was a perceptive, intelligent and motivated student. He belonged to a middle class family from a small town in a state know more for its backwardness, corruption and crime than anything else. Ashish had seen all that. He had seen his honest father being hounded by the powerful. He had seen large swathes of rural India suffer while ministers were being garlanded with currency notes that could have fed villages for an year. He had seen all that and still he had the courage to believe in the concept of India as a nation whose time was yet to come. Ashish believed that like his father, he could use education to help others. Even though he was doing his MBA, he always wanted to use his business education for social good. His pet project was to somehow translate his father's gift of being able to concoct cheap, natural remedies for many illnesses into a business model where he could make his father's skill reach the poor at incredibly cheap prices. He probably was aiming for another Aravind Eye Clinic model!</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">To say that he was disenchanted with the entire MBA experience would not be too far off the mark but even that did not break his spirit. In his final semester, a series of incidents managed to not only break his spirit but also shake his belief in the very value of education.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">One day, Ashish met with an accident. Even that accident is a testimony to the depths we have fallen to as a society. Ashish and his friend were riding a motorcycle, and were rammed into by a car coming from the opposite side. Ashish broke his knee cap and passed out while his friend was lucky enough to escape with bruises and gashes. The car driver did not bother and sped off. Even this much would be enough to disenchant anyone. I am sure that whoever was driving that car was an educated civilian who knew that driving on the wrong side of the road is not only illegal but dangerous for others. I am sure that whoever it was knew that it is basic decency to help any accident victim and more so if it was our fault. I am sure whoever was driving the car that day would not want anyone else do the same to his loved one. But even then this educated Indian went down the wrong side, knocked a bike down and sped off. Then came the police. Ideally they should have taken the boys to a hospital and should have registered an FIR. But they just bundled them onto a rickshaw and left them to fend for themselves. I am sure they were too busy pampering political brats to care for two nobodies.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Ashish was hospitalised in what is considered as the benchmark in quality health care by a government institution in Chandigarh. The accident had left his bone shattered and a surgery would be needed to implant splints. Ashish and his family asked the concerned doctors if the needed splint was available and were assured that it was. they wanted to avoid unnecessary delays as Ashish was very keen to get back to his classes. Then after his doctors had actually cut him open, they found out that that the splint in question was actually not there in any hospital stocks! Imagine the plight of the patient lying with an open knee and his family running around the city for well over a couple of hours looking for the right splint! So much so for our health care and Hippocratic oath!</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Ashish remained on bed for months after that. He kept feeling guilty of missing his classes despite knowing that attendance is never enforced at his college. He just wanted to learn. He just wanted to pursue his dream. No one from the college apart from a couple of his friends ever visited him. No call, no "get we soon" card, no visit by his beloved faculty, no one. But he knew that they could not come as they probably did not even know. He understood that they were his teachers not his mentors or "gurus" who would be concerned about their students life. "How could they?", wondered Ashish. With such rampant commercialisation of education, the number of students a college takes a hefty fee from to deliver pseudo education is so huge that it becomes impossible for them to care for individual students. Ashish understood that it was not their fault.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">But what did his institution do when he returned to the college after when he could? They informed him through a cold notice on a notice board that he had been unceremoniously ejected from the placement process at the college. When he approached the placement coordinator to seek answers, Ashish was insulted and ridiculed. he was told that he was barred from the placement process due to low attendance. His plea that despite being on bed rest for months, he still had three times the attendance than many who were being peddled to companies in the name of placements. he pleaded that he had the necessary medical certificates and evidence to prove that he was actually bed ridden for the whole time he had remained absent from his classes. But the placement coordinator did not budge. Ashish was not the only such case. And there were cases who were not only considered for placement but were actually placed despite them being barred from the placement process too! Ashish tried to approach few teachers who he thought would help him. No one did. No one could. When few did raise the point with the high and the mighty, the college showed its magnanimity by allowing all those who were barred to be considered for placements. That however is a different story that that there are no placement opportunities anymore. It is a different story that this criminal insensitivity of the institution had cost Ashish and many others like him the last few chances they had. Now the institution too does not have time to do anything. i know it is impractical for an educational institution to look for jobs for all the students. Now when they are busy celebrating a better than expected numbers for the new batch, life has moved on for them.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Today Ashish faces a looming educational loan repayment and a protracted period of joblessness. he roams the streets of Delhi with his resume in his hand. I am sure people would be wondering why such a young man has such a helpless look o his face. Educated elite would in conferences and seminars deliberate upon the ever increasing negativity among students. We would spend hours mourning the lack of interest and rigour among students. We academicians would all that but not even once would it cross our mind that it is probably us who is the nucleus of this social downfall. i know it is wrong to judge others but as I am a human being I cannot resist. I find thatin today's "earn as much as you can" world, it is the leftovers of the society that chooses to become teachers. Either people who could not adjust to demanding careers or business, maybe a few who chose it thoughtfully as a career and those who have retired but need more for whatever reasons they may have. I know that everyone need not subscribe to my idealistic views on the education system. I know that not all need to share my reasons to become a teacher, but I do believe that as a teacher, we need to introspect on what we are doing and what impact we have on lives. After all we are what we do.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">I know that these are deep seated systemic faults that will take long to repair. I also know that if one wishes to change the system, one does not have the luxury to take a micro view on every wrong. In the larger game, Ashish is just a statistic and not worth getting worked up about. Strategy I guess demands detachment.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">I am sorry I have failed to help the hundreds of Ashish I come across every year irrespective of the name of my employer. I had a great career in glamorous line of work with all the money and perks I could have wished for. I gave all that up to become a teacher. </span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">I am beginning to regret that.</span></p>Ashish Pillaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03140265561406095144noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790192367775594856.post-63236576943038623782009-12-07T14:57:00.003+05:302009-12-07T15:05:38.700+05:30The Gullible common Man!<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%">Of late I have begun appreciating what my 9<sup>th</sup> standard history teacher once said in class; “Democracy was our only choice. We chose democracy because it was the least flawed system….” I did not understand and I did not ask for clarification. However, for some reason, such a mundane issue like the choice of the political system at independence lingered on in my mind. I could not understand how democracy was flawed. So what was that “…..of the people, by the people, for the people…..” all about? What more than the common man controlling the destiny of the nation could be better? I was sure there was something amiss.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%">Over the past couple of decades, I started seeing (but not realizing) events and incidents that underline how flawed a system democracy is. It almost sounds like some crazy conspiracy theorist spewing anti establishment rant when I cite the helplessness of the common man in democracy and how that helplessness is engineered by the establishment.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%">What control does the average Indian citizen have?

Many of you did appear to be fairly comfortable with the subject and the questions. There are however some issues you guys need to consider.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify;text-indent: -.25in;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>Ethics and “law” are two different things altogether. You don’t necessarily need to be unlawful to be unethical.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify;text-indent: -.25in;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>As managers, when discussing ethics, you should take a long term view and ask yourself if the trade practice under consideration will in anyway damage the social and cultural fabric of the land?</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify;text-indent: -.25in;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>A case in point is the “fairness cream” ads. Though within legal limits, do you think they may be in anyway sowing seeds of un healthy self image in adolescents who may not be “fair”?? Now imagine so many product categories promise to make you “slimmer”, “taller”, “teach you English” and what not!! All on the hidden message that if you are not a tall, fair good looking person fluent in English you may be lesser than others!!! Think about it…</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify;text-indent: -.25in;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">4.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>Consider this; The way media is building up the 26/11 anniversary, has that event not become a “product”. On 26<sup>th</sup> all channels will vie for TRPs and most people will end up watching the “most interesting” presentation of the issue which invariably will be the most extreme. So do you think such marketing of negative event anniversaries promote extreme views in the society? Another case for marketing ethics debate!!!</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify;text-indent: -.25in;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">5.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>Our ever popular “saas bahu serials” have been held responsible for degrading family values. Would you agree?</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify;text-indent: -.25in;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">6.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>The pricing and the matching positioning of gadgets and lifestyle products are promoting deviant adolescent behaviour. Remember how bad it felt when we could not buy that iPhone?? Do you think some young guys and girls may have indulged in negative behaviour to acquire it, like stealing maybe??? Even otherwise, don’t you think that the admiration and the strong feeling just below your sternum (do you know what is the sternum) which you get when you see a class mate use an iPhone is itself an example of how pricing and positioning makes you graduate products from being desires to needs???</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%">These are just few points for your consideration.

Can we not, as colleague of mine says, “just live”? Are we not supposed to be doing something, heading somewhere?<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">Do I have an aim in life? Let us see…..</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">I knew since I was a child that I will become an army officer!! When we shifted out of our house in PAU where I had spent all my life, I came across scribbled drawings on the loo wall…… Drawings of PAU campus and markings where gun positions would be in case of a war!! During my school days, My notebooks would be full of imaginary attacks and defenses!! I knew of the words like “attrition” and “maneuver” long before I knew the table of 12!!</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">But SSB rejected me.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">And I also always knew that if do not become a general, I would be a teacher…… And as fate would have it, I am one now!</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">My decision to B.Sc Agriculture was with an aim to pursue higher studies in environment studies but ended up doing an MBA instead. Why?? No apparent reason….. Probably got influenced by the glitz and glam of the material world! Probably my decision pursue natural sciences was not strong enough!</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">My parents wanted me to be a doctor….. and an IAS officer…… and rich! They gave me all I would ever need to be that. My Dad used to avail personal loans to but us books worth thousands! He would make us interact with some of the greatest minds, visit historical places, watch great programs on TV.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">They did all they could.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">I never became a “good student”. I was at best a mediocre student even though I was very good at sciences and social sciences. In the end, neither did I become a doctor nor an IAS officer and the way things are, I will die poor!</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">In fact all my parents’ effort to make us read and meet great people almost made a socialist out of me and even my decision to become a teacher was influenced rather heavily by it.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">But despite all what has happened, I remained happy! My life till now and to a great extent even now has been one roller coaster ride of emotions and experiences. </span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">All that ever mattered to us was friends, fun, games, trips, debates, quizzes, photography, romance, more friends and even more fun!</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">But then during all this, I still manage to ask myself this question; “What is your aim in life?”</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">As of today, my aim in life is:</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">To utilise my assets on platforms of higher education to make drive positive change in the society."</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">I know it sounds grandiose, but I feel that it can be done and being a teacher gives me a great opportunity to do it. That does not mean that I am forsaking the material world!!! I still enjoy the finer things in life and do fel good if i acquire one, like the Canon EOS500D, I bought recently. I however am clear that whatever I will earn shoud be as a consequence of achieving excellence in my professiona and and that I should and will be always defined by my aim in life rather than some brand or a car or a bank balance or a great house. </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">I however am not sure I am on the right path. I feel that even though I am what I wanted to be, a teacher and I am already on a platform of higher education, I still am not doing enough of what I feel would be of any significance to any body.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">I guess I need to reevaluate my strategic position, weigh my strategic options and erase the gaps in strategy implementation.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">If after a decade of doing MBA, I am still thinking on these lines, as students, don’t you guys think that you guys should be doing the same??? Imagine the time you would have to achieve if you were to know what it is that you really want! I assure you, “package”, “position”, “designations” etc. etc. sound great but all these usually turn out to be worth less unless you were clear about your deepest self.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">I would suggest, take some time and try to introspect, talk to yourself, find out who you really are and what you really want before you take the plunge.</span></p>Ashish Pillaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03140265561406095144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790192367775594856.post-19894228700441861722009-09-29T16:17:00.005+05:302009-09-29T16:29:43.783+05:30A Personal Request to My Students<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">I had joined a popular “prepare for MBA” kind of site some time ago as I too was a CAT aspirant (once!) for the fellow program. Recently I came across a thread discussing IBS and the rather distasteful issues that we all had to face recently. I know that by writing this I am treading extremely dangerous ground but as a faculty I feel it is my duty to address the issue.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">At the very outset let me make this very clear to you that this legal tangle affects me too. I however am not open to getting into an “I am more the victim than thou” kind of match with anyone. I would also like to inform my students that I have been characterised as a born cynic, an anti establishment rebel, a socialist idealist by friends, family and colleagues.

Despite what has transpired recently and is still on the boil, I assure you that you are studying at what is arguably the best platform for management studies in Chandigarh. As of now, I challenge anyone to show me a college that boasts of the kind of faculty you guys have north of New Delhi.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">The kind of emphasis you have on application based education which even the most cynical of you will agree is very important is something which I have not seen in any of the other “AICTE Approved” and “we are ranked 20” kind of institutions. I know the inside out of most of these places and I wish I could share the realities of the systems, the faculty and the teaching these places have. Let us put it this way, I am fairly confident that most faculty in most of these colleges would fail if they were to attempt the question paper for marketing research you guys got for your exam. Right now, my dear students, I am a part of a team which I am proud of. I assure you, this is the best faculty you could hope for, the syllabus is relevant and updated, the systems are powerful and believe me, you guys are doing great.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">Placements</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">What is wrong with them? What we managed this time was in the face of tremendous odds and despite that the figures we have churned out are amazing! I will not get into numbers here as they are irrelevant. Then why are so many seniors cribbing, you may ask? Well, that is because, it sometimes is in the nature of a man to keep cribbing! The placement department can do only as much as to bring in the companies! Did they not do that?? They did. Were they less than what you expected? Yes, they were les than even what we expected but I am sure most of you well informed young men and women know what happened to the globe last year!! I have seen the placement department running to convince students to sit for the PPT at least!

Let us go back to the very basics. IBS is not a building, the classrooms, placement records, projectors. . . . . . IBS is the people who work in it and the people who come to study there. If someone tells me IBS is no good, I am being told that I am no good. When we talk negative we create an atmosphere of mistrust, doubt, uncertainty and anxiety.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">Then I wonder; who are these people who are condemning the college? By the tone of their voices and the arguments they make, they sound as if they would have been at home in some IIM but were forced to join IBS! Then they ignore that the same classrooms churned out success stories where they penned their tragedies! And you can always spot them easily as they have the loudest voices and know most about all things under the sun!! It is not only you, any human being would be very easily affected in such an atmosphere. You came here to get good education. Begin that journey by trying to be good human beings with a positive attitude. Stop listening to and stop spreading negativity.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">In The End</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;">Stop cooking conspiracy theories and try to behave like a future manager. If you are not one, try to pretend. Will that change the AICTE / UGC tangle?? No. Not at all, but it will definitely help you feel better about yourself. You see the key is to be passionate at what you do. If you do your MBA passionately enough, the industry will care two hoots for your status with regulators. They need well rounded individuals, not empty headed, scared, confidence less so called MBAs from so called AICTE approved institutions. Don’t feel bad about you institution.

The countdown began as a chorus, 59, 58, 57, 56……. The high and mighty was celebrating New Year’s Eve 1998. Everyone was on a high! High on spirits, high on success, high on page three glitterati glittering more tonight than ever.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%">It hurt. Shivering hard and rubbing against the tarmac hurt his ankles. Cold steel of the icy winter of Delhi cut through his tattered blanket through his shirt penetrating the pages of the Hindu and Economic Times he had stuffed in his shirt. The cold steel. Suddenly, the skies opened, pulled apart by a glow so warm that he had to smile! “Thank god! Now I can sleep” he said to himself. Maybe it was the winter or maybe the fumes from the vehicles but he had been feeling sick for the past few days now. So sick that he had not been able to collect enough from the bin to eat. “The bin!” he reflected, it was a lucky stroke that he chanced upon the bin. “I hope it remains a secret”, he thought. He did not want the other roadside urchins to know that even a big name like Le Meridiene in the middle of Lutyon’s delhi was flouting all the rules and dumping leftovers in the trash bin. You see, they were not supposed to that, they were supposed to dispose the leftovers as biological waste in a prescribed manner and carry to a large dump just on the outskirts of Delhi. But they bent the rules often! And thank God they did that!</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%">Food. He suddenly remembered how his parents would leave them every morning and return late at night with food. Food. He remembered how it feel when he ate for the first and last time in a day at night. Food. “And food made you feel warm…… or is that just my imagination….” Food…… Filling and war, just like his mother’s hug! That brought a smile to his face, the thought of food and his mother seemed to increase the warmth and the glow! “What is the winter weakening already?” The pain had also disappeared. He was not shivering anymore. The warmth. So comfortable, so enveloping. The warmth, like the embrace of a beloved he never had. Her warm breath tingling his senses, her fragrance lilting, sensuous, so full of life.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%">Who was she, he had never seen her on this intersection before. Strange! She was actually smiling! And that too at him! Maybe she is one of the guests at the big party inside, maybe she decided to step out to experience the chill. But still, strange! Her touch was so warm, she smelt so good, fresh like the blossoms they threw away every evening after a VIP left. She was smiling, beckoning him! Was he dreaming? He had not even used the roadside paint remover fix others used. Then she held his hand and draped herself around his frail frame. In an instant his entire life flashed in front of his eyes. Such pleasure, such joy, such contentment. Who was this woman he wondered one last time before falling asleep in her warm embrace. Who was she?</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%">7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, WELCOME 1999!</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%">The next day, MC Delhi added another unclaimed body to the endless list already had.</p>Ashish Pillaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03140265561406095144noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790192367775594856.post-41032105079934200842009-08-17T09:54:00.000+05:302009-08-17T09:55:06.386+05:30A Teacher Can Inspire<p class="MsoNoSpacing" align="center" style="text-align:center;line-height:150%"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 36px;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><o:p> Before reading further, please visit the link!</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" align="center" style="text-align:center;line-height:150%"><a href="http://www.ndtv.com/news/offbeat/kalams_driver_now_a_lecturer.php">http://www.ndtv.com/news/offbeat/kalams_driver_now_a_lecturer.php</a></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%">The postmodern career landscape and the intentions of academic entrepreneurs has probably created enough doubts regarding the statement.

Now you have an idea and it can be done in time! Great! The first step in writing a title would be to remember that it should be focused enough to clearly spell out what is the study about and at the same time it should be as short and crisp as possible. . . . . . . . . I know, I know, you already know that. My approach is to write a title to the best of my efforts and then rewrite it again and again till I have hit upon one which “seems perfect”. For example:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I am really curious about why many of my students opted for an MBA. . . . . . . . Then naturally I am curious how they decided where to their MBA from. . . . . . .<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Now, if I were to make a research title out of this curiosity, My first step would be:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:38.65pt;text-align:justify;text-indent: -.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:Arial"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Look for studies on the same or related topics. I would suggest use of Google Scholar for the purpose.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Once I have studied a few articles from magazines, sites and journals, I will have an idea as to what kind of titles to they have and what are the various issues studied. . . . . My next step would be:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:38.65pt;text-align:justify;text-indent: -.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:Arial"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Talk to a couple of students and have a talk with them as to how they decided on an MBA and the college. This can be called a very rough “pilot study”<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Now I will have a great deal of idea as to the issues involved, the research that has been done on the subject and the way students seem to decide in India.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Now you write the title:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify;text-indent: -.25in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-family: Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">A study of why students do MBA and how they choose the college to do it from.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">OK. . . . . . something seems off, doesn’t it???? Let’s write it down once again, but this time we will try to add more technical terms and less “layman” language!!<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify;text-indent: -.25in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-family: Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">A Study of Consumer Decision Making While Selecting MBA and the School to do it from.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Oooohh!!
