Ipodization of India

Hey guys !! I usually start writing a blog by motivating myself. Donot mistake me for loner. looser and giveup guy who has to be pulled out of bed for everything. I usually attend to nature calls all by my own will power. No incentives and motivation required on that front. Well now I feel quite motivated. Well you must know that Motivation is important factor and a tool at the hands of MBAites. We feel we can motivate anybody, anytime. Quite a big claim.
Anyway allow me to continue with the IPODISATION of India topic. In recent times I have observed that there has been a culture jump in the youth of India. To keep up-to-date with these times, text books had to be re-printed with examples from today so that youth understands them.

It is been closely followed in the classes too. The students have gone rebel.
Simple funda: Till I am told not to do any mischief, disrespectful act or arbit stuff, I will do.
Simple logic: Humans are made that way. They have to be monitored. Else how will you justify police and courts.

But on the contrary, the prof doesn;t have to say everyime people start talking in the class that please dont talk. Or sometimes when the phone rings: You should not be listening to phones in the class. And remind the students that it is disrepectful act, such that students then come to knwo that it is disrespectful and they tend try to put a stop to it.
What's happening to us? Have we forgotten these values ?? Have we taken the wrong clues from the west and based on some false assumptions turned ourselves into hooligans.
Else how have we turned into this.....

Relativity

After a long long time, today I feel that I am relatively free. I had class till 5:30pm in the evening. While coming back to room, felt a strong urge to lay down and sleep. Still avoiding that I managed to reach the football ground for practice. Part of the motivation was from the fact the rate of increase in circumference of the abdomen is outpacing the rate of elapsing time. Well came back to room and took a nap while being all covered with sweat to get up in time for dinner. So I did so many things today. And still Feel ????? Yes, feel becase though I have loads of stuff on my plate there is no deadlines to meet tomorrow. But if Idonot attend them today tomorrow I shall be relatively bussier running around and trying to complete my 2-3 assignments.
Relativity is what I am hearinng since coming to IIMC. Grading is absolutely relative (Oxymoron... What an irony !!) . Then each passing day, in a sense, should be relatively filled with more tasks till the summers start. And we relatively work upon our personality, academics and sports. I think management institution is a place where everyone reads out and learns to work in team but perform relatively.
Every one has to to perform in such a way to get that marginal factor in is resume. And each resume should be relatively better than each other in some or the other criteria.
Another thing that bugs me after "Maturity" is "Relativity". I doubt Einstein would have thought of the implications a Relativity would cause in an institution. Thus making the life hell for everyone.
What bothers more is it seems like everyone is a friend of other but still nobody is sure of other - courtsey Relativity.
Well I think we all have to cope up with the havoc caused by this word. And try to do damage control of the relationships that are built on relativity.

Time to go and enjoy this relatively free day
