hi ppl!.. got held up!.. know u’ve been waiting!.. oopsie!…bombay traffic y’know!.. well then, now that i’m back, things are going to move a little more on time now!..
i stopped at where the foundation series stopped!.. right?!.. now, life moved on.. water flowed on under the bridge.. the wind flew on over the hill.. the flush flushed out the goo and new goo dropped in.. yeah, well!.. you get the idea!.. well now, the real mba programme’s begun.. life is no hell!.. control stations aren’t being jammed with high-frequency distress signals!.. rats aren’t running outta ships!.. so, in ten words or less, life is still fun!..
spider-man 2! seen it yet?!.. when you do, you’ll wish this one scene was there!.. here goes!..
peter hangs suspended from the spider web, and looks meaningfully at mj.
peter: “you see…that’s why we can never be together. spiderman will always have enemies, and i couldn’t bear anything happening to you. it’s the only way to keep you safe.”
mary jane: “sure.. wha-ever.”
peter can’t quite fathom this. he just sits there on the web.
mary jane: “well, how many mortal enemies do you have.”
peter: “the green goblin. doc ock. that makes two.”
mary jane: “and how many times have i been picked up by your mortal enemies and almost killed, despite you being so careful to let everyone know we aren’t seeing each other?”
peter, once again, is quite.
“twice, you dumb prick!”
another moment of silence.
“so what difference would it have made if we had been bonking like crazed rabbits for the last three years!.. but no!.. you have to pull your martyr act, don’t you!..
“hey! that’s not fair!”
“damn right, it isn’t!.. don’t you realise how much it complicates my love life?!”
“i am sorry…what’ll you tell astronaut-guy?”
“i’m over him already.. i was talking of jarvis. jarvis cocker. i figured, if i was going to be attracted to moping guys in thick glasses.. i might as well find one who’s good in bed…”
cut to mary jane being lowered rather quickly from the web by a long strand of spider silk.. .
this one scene wasn’t there, of course (thank goodness for that!).. that’s ripping apart a perfectly decent movie!.. hyuk! hyuk!.. for those of you who got some meaning out of that one, go away, you horrid creatures!..
on a serious note (har! har! hyuk! hyuk!).. no seriously.. i am shit serious now.. an mba isn’t bullshit!.. far from it!.. far from my life-is-a-party bol-baby-bol rock-n-roll graduation days!.. far, even, from the honeymoony foundation days we had here in nm!.. but know what!.. you never see it!…you never see the good part until you open your eyes to it!.. you never see it until you say you want to see it!.. like life, like the matrix, an mba is a dazzling maze of secrets waiting – dying – to be explored!.. you have a choice.. (what is it with choices and the world these days anyway?!.. ).. yeah, you have a choice.. you could afford to just drift through the two years that you have here or you could have a real go at changing who you are!.. (yeah!.. y’could become more crap than you came in being!.. now, believe you me, that takes some doing!.. doesn’t come easy, no way!).. no!.. kiddin!..
ever since i've been here.. i'm being aware of one startling phenomenon.. mba is pushing me to get ideas!.. seriously!.. every class requires me to brainstorm!.. not just me!.. the whole class does!.. thatz the way itz done!.. u gotta be creative!.. u gotta think up answers!.. 'n y'know the toughest part?!.. everybody in class is solid!.. everybody comes up with the most amazing ideas!.. 'n keeping up with it all 'n coming out with better ideas makes mba rockin!.. u look like u cud do with an example.. sure.. for instance, in international business class.. we get this video played.. ok.. this amercan dude lands on arab shores.. for a business meeting.. 'n he screws up big time!.. n we gotta analyze where things got wrong!.. see?.. thatz how it is!.. fun but y'gotta think!.. one important lesson!.. when u land on foreign shore.. be very alert.. for u'll experience the change in culture in the first few moments itself.. the difference in the way people think.. the difference in the way they talk.. n the difference in the way they conduct business.. n if u r alert enough.. u can know how to adapt to the new culture n fit in just fine!.. sometimes, say in latin countries or the arab states, u gotta go easy!.. u gotta chill!.. life is laidback.. people work to live n not live to work unlike in the states n in other western coutries.. u gotta do some small talk before u can start off on your business.. don't stuff contracts n papers up their faces before that!.. what i'm trying to say is this lesson is what u derive on your own n have to speak it out in class!.. itz loads'a fun!..great learning too!..
all my life i've been - everybody actually, not just me - so i've been complaining about the education system in india n stuff.. know what i mean?!.. it sucks n all that!.. say what!.. mba rocks tha' way!.. here, the system is just right!.. u get textbook stuff and you get some real learning too!.. an all-rounded balanced sense of knowing!.. and thatz good!.. thatz very good!.. u feel educated.. more than u wud being the topper of some university!.. i'm just scared this mba'z gonna do bad things to my personality!.. make me say things i actually understand.. and that actually make sense!.. know how to be civil with ppl!.. actually have a real awareness of people n cultures around the world!.. fit in in the global scene!.. real bad things!.. it might just turn me into a thorough-bred professional!.. yikes!
