mediocre.....but arrogant??

First things first...the novel rockss !!!!

I used to be an avid reader of novels, but this rivulet called MBA has streamed away that lone interest from my life too....:(

Now let's ponder over the history (and the psychology, philosophy, whatever) of my rendezvous with this piece of gold....
Why did i buy something called 'Mediocre but Arrogant' in the first place? Well, if you haven't already guessed, then....well......you WILL by the end of this post...

I prolly (economically challenged version of 'probably', and to be used everywhere from hereon) related to the title......

Into the second trim of my MBA, and here's what i know so far....
Marketing - it's all about peeing on the four Ps (sorry if sm1 minds this language, but who cares!)
Finance - m still unable to manage my own finances in the financial center of India
Operations - most of the times, i find even myself nonoperational...
HR - i still don't believe, even after 3 yrs of work, that the HR people do have some work to do...

Ya fine fine, MBA is not so bad....but I don't understand why every teacher over here wants to show that our whole life is dependent upon their subject....(more details about this in future posts)....

Let's come back to the point....
mediocre....well.....
people say you got admission into such a great college, you are a champ....
i say....guyz.....grow up.....if admission into an NM would make someone a champ, then this whole batch of 300 that is vying for everything from drinking water to infrastructure, and from proper seats to food in the canteen, would be called a cartel of geniuses...

no we are not geniuses, we all are mediocre....but still arrogance is instilled deeply in us...thanks to our overgrown selves (average age of 25)....which have spent 2-3 years of their lives in frustration (work-ex ppl, incl. me), and have come here to vent out their frustration and pack themselves in a good package whether they have the knowledge or capability for that or not....

god knows what will happen to us all....

there are no complaints to this arrogance, at least from my side....reason being.....that is the only way out for people like me who don't have the capability to let our frustrations fizz out in the form of the vodkas and the fosters..(pardon my knowledge on this subject pals, but i know tum bhaavnao ko samajh gaye ho...)

anyways.....for all those who now know why we all are(and should be) called mediocre but arrogant, and also those who still didn't understand why i associate myself and take so much pride in this title, here's the basic formula that defines the whole life of a management graduate...

MBA = Mediocre But Arrogant

k guyz...it's time to go to sleep...and then study/dine/sleep again/phone/movie/case study/some quizzz......zzzzzz............
