For the unintiated, MDI and NITIE are two of top MBA colleges in the country...
"oh is it!!! and I thought we had IIMs.."
Ya you are right.. we have IIMs but theres a genre beyond that too.. lets not get into details of whose right above there and whose not,coz even m nt sure of that myself at this stage, but the point y m righting this post is coz the title is one big decision i had to make recently.
"so you got through both of them,pick any if both are good, y think"
hmmmmmmm.. I wanted to do just that. but then the logical ,thinking ,reasoning left hemisphere of my brain dint allow me to do that. and hence I sought advice. And there is where all the trouble started...
"Dint you evaluate the pros and cons of what the people had to say"
Ohhh.. woh bhi karna hota hai kya.. I thought just ask people which one of the two is better and thats it.Either I dont know how to evaluate a persons preachings(over telephonic converstations,F2F is much easier)or I am simply too dumb to do that.
I listeneted to both the parties and thought both of them made sense.Amazing!!!
"Then how did you decide"
I thoought i will do a lot of googlin on the stuff i was being told, bt somehow I found that pretty boring plus lack of time.So took the easier way out. my simple raesoning told me,whatever decision you take,you will have to "PROVE THE WORLD WRONG"... nd i guess thats true not just for this simple dilemma of mine but everywhere we take a decision.More often than not, we are welcomed by a world underestimating our talents, they try to prove us wrong.So lets us do the same too and hope we win.
Once I was satisfied with this philosphial reasoning of mine,I went ahead with the colg whose final results made me more captivated,more cheerful,more content...
I joined NITIE
PS: I would take this small space to thank one of my dear friends from MDI whom I interacted with during this course of time.I must say he is a thorough gentleman.tried to help me out of my dilema with complete sincerity and candidness.He is one of the most amazing persons i have talked to till date.I hope he appreciates my decision and I dont disappoint him.Thanks a ton dude:D
and ya he was right, If I had talked to him a couple of more times,I might just have taken a different decision!!!
i feel he was a messenger of god ...who came to take u out of dis muddiness...mumbai is a rocking place n ppl thr r tranquil ....life is gvng u wonderful opportunities to discover d diffrt phases n ppl...so enj evry moment of it ...all d very bst ..:-)

ReplyDeletei'm glad u chose NITIE..hope i could meet you next year as a junior..

Sure you should not be influenced by anyones preachings - over phone or otherwise. Great that you have made a decision and are now sticking to it. However one does not have to prove anything to anyone, As long as one knows that he has done the right thing, that should make him happy.
