No JOB coz you are an MBA

As always, I was reading a skit written by an MBA graduate who was offered a low paid job and was rejected just coz he was holding a B-school MBA degree.Well analysing the situation, an MBA is aimed at achieving and integrating the managerial disciplines and creating mangers capable of making ethical and viable decisions in the interconnected world.So for this practically, B-schools have to focus on electives rather than core courses. A small comparison between the international B-schools like Harvard and MIT who offer an average of about 10 core courses and 100 electives which gives the students complete independence of diversity to face the competition in the fast paced world.However the top Indian B schools offer an average of 25 core courses and 60 electives and focuses mainly on classroom teaching rather than practical education. This has been a FLAW through generations and every generation seems to accept the FLAW including mine.And if Kellogg is known for Marketing, Harvard for General Management, our B-schools are known for MBA's to say NO(My manager in DELL was from IIM-Ahmadabad where he use to always quote this"IIM's are taught to say NO").I do not know what my post will do but I always believe at the bottom of my heart that everything starts with a little effort, and that little effort of mine is to create awareness among people(maybe a small group) so that there might be a start to save the future generations or maybe it is time to migrate from MBA to the next emerging field of education business!!

Nuclear Family Vs Joint :-))

Well, this thought struck me when I was a reading a article today in The Hindu, where a person in his old age was explaining the difficulties they see in their old age.I do not know which is beneficial, but sometimes I feel as if the joint family system has a better score in every way especially in the old age. Each and every person was assigned a responsibility depending on their age and skill.Parents looked after their childern when they needed protection and the latter looked after their parents when they needed help. The nuclear system probably is a winner in the young age but I guess inspite of all the flaws joint famiy system is a clear winner in the old age.A similar incident in US, when my husband and I were having lunch in an Indian restaurent where a family sat beside us and I guess the parents had come from India.They were ordering food and when the food arrived, the son and the daughter in law immediately grabbed their own and started having it and only the grand dad's food had not arrived, and when he asked the son replied stating"you did not order any appetizer so thats why you did not get it" the grand dads face sunk and immediately grand mom offered her share to him.Have we become so mechanical that we even forgot our basic table manners, or have we become so western that we don think about our parent's needs or the sacrifices they have done for us.I immediately placed my parents in that situation was able to realise what would have gone through in their mind. But the parents did not utter even the slightest of dissatisfaction.May be thats the difference and thats why they are respected for what they ave achieved.This particular incident left a great impact in me. In the intial stages of my marital life I also wished for a joint family coz I wanted someone to guide me in that part of life which was completely new to me n I was totally inexperienced to handle anything in life:-))..I just wish the younger generation realises the irony of old age and to the extent of possibily for a greater care and concern for the old.
