This is a short write-up I had prepared for discussion with a senior personnel in a prominent investment bank. The context was the pattern of stock prices in recent times of popular IPOs in the tech-space (more specifically, social-media space).
I feel that currently the "theory of conspicuous consumption" by Thorsten Veblen holds lot of merit. If you remember, in our last meeting, I had pointed out that the rules of demand and supply...
Udta hi firoon, in hawao mei kahin
Ya mai jhul jaun, in ghatao mei kahin
Ek kar doon aasmaan aur zameen.
This song reflects so much more than just love. It celebrates life. For no apparent reason, right now, suddenly, I feel like going back to every single day of my life and relive them. I keep thinking how I would have acted differently in some past situation or the other, but I would hardly want my life to have gone any other way. Maybe...
The blog has been lying idle for quite some time now. Not because of the so-called "writers' block", but since a b-school does not give you a breather in the first 5 months or so. No matter how "C"hill one claims to be, you get lost in the innumerable deadlines and submissions lined up every week. I feel though, this is the right time to revive the blog. I've just been through the most talked-about topic at which the whole world keeps its...

9th April, 2006 was the day I appeared for my JEE. It changed my life. Or should I say, I started knowing life thereon. The result of the examination was certainly not up to the mark since I was performing better in the mock tests. Infact, I was saddened by the fact that I was not able to pursue the branch which I wanted to due to my rank. 10th April, 2010 was the day, when all that disappointment faded away. Finally, I got something I had always wanted - a call from C; IIMC.
JOKAr; JOKAite; IIMCian; call what you may, it...
Every engineering graduate goes through the two-credit (read: do kaudi ka) trauma at the fag end of his (am not a sexist, but 'hers' please don't take offence on my persistent usage of the male pronouns .. as it is, 'hers' is a rare species in engineering campuses) undergraduation. As soon as the GV dates are announced, a distinct buzz can be noted among the final years. No one gives a damn for a two-credit lab, but everyone around feels the pinch of the Grand Viva. Strangely, it's found that practically no one ever flunks the...
I read a book after quite some time - "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time" by Mark Haddon. This is while am trying to read Wolf Hall at the same time. But then, the latter is a book I take to my classes since most of my professors are busy trying to explain obscure facts about movies like "Judwa" and another Jeetendra flick I forget the name of.
Haddon has given an amazing insight of how autistic people look at the world....
