The Indian Institute of Science

IISc Bangalore is by far teh greatest institute I have ever seen. Well I have seen both IISc and IIMA. But, theres something in IISc. I rever, love and believe that there is no other such institute in India. 1500 people and 90%+ are not studying becoz they have to do it for a job. They are there coz they love the subject so much. Nd that is not something u find everywhere.
IISc is going to celebrate its centenary. A century where the C.V. Ramans, Vikram Sarabhais and Satish Dhawans have led the insti from the front. C.V. Raman once he became the chair of the insti did not want to give it up come what may.....
Next time you are in Bangalore, take an hour off. Ask for Tata Institute and when you reach there take a bow...Also pay my respects. It's been time!

My Profie.....

My ME guide was a prolific publisher. God in one year in my Masters he gave me 12 publications!!!!! He had a PhD student. Now a PhD post 4 years is a dangerous man for both the prof and all other poor people arnd him...IISc is notorious for keeping PhDs for a looooong time. There was a poor guy who had published every which place nd still has taken close to 9+ years for his degree...
Nyways comin back to my profie's PhD student.....Poor fellow. He went to him with a doubt in a paper nd showed him the title and the formulae...the usual crap. My prof saw the paper up-down left right...nd then told him

Prof: I dont understand this. Whose paper is this contact the authors....
Student: Which authors?????
Prof: The first author...
Student: Sir does not respond
Prof:K. Second author
Student: Sir, email bounces
Prof: K, third author
Student: Sir, u r the third author
Prof: God damn this is my paper. Hmmm.I still dont understand.....

God help research!!!!!!!
Disclaimers apply......

MBA post ME

You know the toughest part of doing a god-damn MBA course post an ME is the soft skill part. Ill introsuce myself. Im an ME in Telecom from IISc who decided to randomly give the CAT and got lucky(think so!!!) and made it to the boiling pot IIM Ahmedabad. Now IISc boild ur ass too. But IIMA cooks it good and soft....
Transforming frm an academic to an MBA requires u to understand the books part is crap and the easy part. Tht is what I missed nd suffered a crap load. I came to IIMA nd found a few papers getting me C's. Threw tantrums nd got noticed. The transit to an MBA took 3 months, the 1st sem bt by then it was late!!!!!!!An impression was made nd I stood for the fin club secy nd paid heavily for my past. Learnt wht an MBA needs..........
Nyone can balance a crappy balance sheet...Nd got A's after I settled in too. Bt these grades dont matter crap....Whie IISc taught me work matters IIMA taught me the perception tht u r not working nd like a godsend verythin comes to u matters a hell lot......Nd it does Perception matters a hell lot in life!!!!!!!!!!
