MBA, Lies and Essays!!

This person comes back again to this Blog, to write another senti story! What i found recently is that writing essay for Bschool admissions is all about lying. No matter what you are and who you are, your essay should be something that gives a great impression that this person is born to get into this school!

I would not get into whether it is justified to do it or not. Who said that you cannot lie? What matters is that its the result that should matter. If you are succeeding, then no body cares you wrote the truth or not. And yes who told you that you should be a satyawadi harishchandra....

Its all about business and free markets and competition. Whatever sells is true! As simple as that. And who said that life is fair. One has to deal with it. If there are 100 copycats and one 'real' thing; if the real thing cannot sell it to the audience despite of being true!! Its your fault, you aren't a right person to get into this business!

The bottomline is - Whatever sells is 'real' and not the otherway round.

And yes do note the fact that by 2010, nearly 55% of indian populace will be in the earn-spend-and-make-merry age group of 25-35. Time now to convert the nickname of 'Land of snake-charmers' to the 'land of MNC-charmers'!!

Here is the news item of AAloo-tikki
