The Answer is blowing in the wind...

We did engineering because everybody was doing it and it looked good

We dreamt of getting into IIT coz people in IIT were the best

We chose colleges on the basis of reputation

We chose branches on the basis of cut off ranks (not me though :) )

We chose to do an MBA coz it was the ‘in thing’

We prepared for CAT because IIMs are the best and IIM grads get the best jobs

We tried for software jobs because they paid the best.

Some of us took Consulting jobs coz its great for a Non MBA to get a consulting profile

We took Science in 11th and were happy and proud of the fact and the same 'we' are now studying Economics and are happy and proud of the fact.

We want to get into I Banks because Finance is the big thing
And If the Finance bubble bursts we shall surely migrate to the next big thing

We read novels when we have to prepare for CAT

We do social work so that we can build our profile for B Schools

We write in our resumes, things we never did

We talk all nicely to our bosses because we have to impress them

We do good things secretly(study/prepare for CAT) and publically deny any such efforts

When we do not crack CAT we say "I was not preparing"

When we cannot face the insult of rejection we say "I could not clear the DI cut off..baaki sab clear hai"

We never say that we didnt clear English cut off coz one who doesnt know English is considered backward

We study coz we want to get marks

We look at the package when we apply for a job

We say that a girl is "sahi" coz of her looks and not her intellect

We spend more time on orkut than on actually meeting friends

We (girls) do not want 'fraandship requests' on orkut but we never lock our album and always put our best pics

We spend more time worrying about losing weight than actually exercising

We are in love with the feeling of being in love

We spend more time wondering "How he is doing so well" rather than "How I can do well"

We shout at people who do not follow traffic rules and we ourselves break them when we arent in a mood to follow

We change our hairstyle after an Aamir Khan movie

We start body building after a Shahrukh Khan movie

We can get up at 5 to watch India-Australia match; We cannot get up at 9 to watch the Republic Day parade

We worship our cricketers when they win T20 World Cup; we paint their houses black when they exit from the World Cup

We get senti after watching Taare Zameen Par but we never pursue our interests

We watch Rang De Basanti, get inspired and forget about it

We read such articles, think for a while and then forget about it....


Will we ever listen to ourselves ?
