The first post on this blog coming from an *drumrolls* Mba student. Sounds cool?
Trust me, it’s not. It’s been two days since college started and if you ask me how’s it going so far, I’ll say it’s crazy.
For starters, every class is a 90-minute lecture. That is, 90 minutes of not moving from the seat, staring at the professor’s Elvis Presley-ish side locks and trying to understand his pure South Indian accent OR watching people (who have already studied business in college and are purely just showing off when they use the terms “customer satisfaction”, “demands and supply”, “efficiency” and so on) sell water purifiers and argue over why cars manufactured in Germany are better than the one’s manufactured in UK. Someone even confidently raised their hand and said that “People in UK booze a lot whereas people in Germany don’t booze that much. So, it’s obvious.” Not that smart an answer afterall, Mr. Bachelors In Business Management.
Also, there’s this guy who loves Hindi-to-English name translations. For example, a girl named Gaganpreet becomes SkyLover, a restaurant named City Point becomes Shehar Bindu and things like that. The worst part is, I have to tolerate this all day long because, well, we sort of travel together and we have the same classes and all. And he really likes to talk and tries to be funny while I try to not kill him, which is going really good if you ask me because I haven’t killed him. Yet. Sadly, the thing Sheldon does – when he stares and tries to get Leonard’s brain to explode – yeah, that doesn’t work.
To top it all, I’m supposed to wear a formal shirt and trousers for about half of the week. Which is like, three out of six days. Yes, I have college on Saturdays too.
I should’ve taken up a job or something instead. At least I’d get Saturdays off. But then again, I would’ve had to wear formals five days a week and they would expect me to write codes all day long. Plus, the pay for freshers isn’t that good either. I guess it is sort of pointless if you’re not good with coding, because eventually they would fire you. So, Mba isn’t really a bad option for someone who has a “technical background”, yeah?
How bad can Financial Accounting, Managerial Economics, Business Management, etcetra be? My answer as of now would be, very.

Hmm.. you could’ve got a technical job and it didn’t necessarily have to be coding! But yes, I’ll have to agree with you on the pay. Anyway, wish you all the best with putting up with the South indian Elvis Presley wanna-be
Not doing a technical job was the reason to go for an Mba actually. Thanks though.
Again, all the very best for the next two years!
Your writing style has changed quite a bit, much more casual, bright and free flowing. Here’s hoping that you’ll write a lot more

That Hindi-to-English translator guy sounds ridiculously hilarious.
Wish you all the luck with tolerating and trying not to kill him. Oh well, of course for the course too. 
Aditi
Haha. Thank you so much. For both!
“I guess it is sort of pointless if you’re not good with coding” –> it was for this bit
Oh, my bad.
I’m not good with anything technical, would be more appropriate. 
Seems like a lot of bloggers are turning to studies once again. Even I am part of the bandwagon.
And yes, life was much easier and less sleep-deprived in the ‘good-ol’ job days
Good luck and all
There are a few subjects though, that you’ll really like 
Need any help toh bata dena!
