The Ugly Truth about MBA (Finance)

I was in illusion 2 - 3 years back, that if I complete MMS, I would be paid decent in job market. But as the days passed by that illusion has been fading away. There has been many illusion I m having, but this blog specifically talks about my career illusions. I thought after completing MMS I would get better job offers, better pay and better job profile. But truly speaking nothing has changed in these 2 - 3 years. Today MMS students are being paid equivalent to graduate students.

I m facing the biggest tragedy after almost doing MBA. I secured good marks in ma graduation level with good college. But I was not able get admission in good B-school so the kind of job offers I have in hand are worthless. Today the industry demands CFA, CA, ICWA and what not. But what the f*** industry will keep on demanding.

I have realized in past days that, It is better to stay without an MBA degree than to get admission in Atharva.

A Trip to Arnala

After planning for several trips, our group succeeded in implementing one of the plans, which by god's grace took us all to Arnala. This time all agreed for trip and nobody's parents grumbled. All came except Rich. I missed her. This time Bhagyashri too was there with us. Eight of us went to Sagar Resort at Arnala.

The main purpose to go for trip was to freak out and I suppose we did the best. We played in water, had some water rides too, and over ate lunch, specially jalebi. The whole day we spent playing in water. I was literally about to drown in water which is just 4.5 feet shallow. hehehehehe.

While coming back we all faced the attack made by mosquitoes, but able to survive that because of Odomos. And at late night we had a splendid and pleasurable dinner which actually tranquilized me to sleep as soon as I reach home.

I suppose this was the longest trip we had together at Atharva. I hope to have few such trip with the same group.

A sincere piece of wisdom

I have been noticing this guy from the first day of college. I never knew his age, but he turned out to be 29. Well that is not what I planned to write today. But this was the first time I actually talked with him, more than that I actually listening to him.

It has been such a nice thing to listen to him. He was actually making us understand "why we being single?" They way he spoke with us, discussed with us, was so candid that I honestly felt inspired and enlightened.

I always had many questions regarding relationships, he actually made it crystal clear about how guys think? It actually made me believe how attitudes change, how things work?

At the end of the day I felt I learnt something from him.
Now even I feel to come out of past and start looking for some motivation in college. hehehehe

Party Time

After Jug Heads this has been really a good freaking out session for me. I think i need one, and I just seized the opportunity as it came to me, to have fun with all friends.

But Gosh, all ma sweet frnds like spicy non - veg food, and i being having a sweet tooth person, had to enjoy spicy food.

This time we all went at "SnehaSameelan" actually Sameelan. With nice spicy food we also had cake cutting session, along with photo session with b'day gurl and b'day bouy.

I am hoping to enjoy more in the coming days, but then it would be placement parties, I just hope that would happen.

I need blessings.

Our summer Internship

This is a big time Dinosaur at the end of our 2nd sem at Atharva. Now why I am calling it as a dinosaur is bcz it was just made up and not actual. Its a ritual at our CMC (Career Magmt Cell) to make issues out of nothing. Our placement head who has always been a pain in nape of the neck for every student has made the summer placements look "Dinosaur".

Everything and nothing could seem to please her. She actually brought such unworthy placements for students that students preferred to find placement on their own.

And she has been the real pain for me specially. Now that is because she didn't get my CV on time. What difference does it make??? I found a placement on my own. Some how i managed to get a summer job at Shamrao Vithal Co - operative Bank. But still she had objections with it, which was really unnerving

I year of MMS at Atharva

Hello, This is the first time i m using a blog, somewhere i find this is a nice way of self - expression


I was never a studious types, or even never did I think of seeing myself in any of these B-schools, but its all which enter in ma head when Swapnila mam used to teach us during my graduation days. She was truly an inspiration for me, even today.

Now it has been like 14 months in Atharva, I still remember on 4th of Aug08 we all had our formal/official induction program and from that day till today it has always been a busy schedule. Irrespective of its knowledge sharing or not this college has given me the best moments of life which surely has come in form of ma best buddies.

I didn't get to knw when does the whole year passed away. One peculiar thing about enjoying at atharva has been celebrating b'days of frnds in group. That has always been the best activity I did in Atharva.

Never in my life had I studied just one day before exams, never had it happen that we used to get time table just one week before our final exams, with our presentations still pending, but then this is wat we call management rite?? Its called new method of learning management at Atharva.

With lot of masti, lot of bonding, lot of link ups & affair and then lot of fights and tears.

Now I m more worried about placements and presentations after coming in 2nd year of MMS.
