everyone's a guru

Why the B-school?
money
positions
power
lifestyle
escape from the mundaneness of our earlier jobs
aspirations for something better

and lots of other reasons.

So what does it all boil down to - your placements.
the finality of it fills us with so much fear.
suddenly i realize that almost every conversation we have includes this topic - and here we find that everyone's a guru
People are so filled with fear and confusion - confused about what they want to do : only clarity about what they think they do not want to do - Fear of ending up in an unfavourable position
Newspapers are filled with daily bad news and this adds to the cloud we all carry in our heads.
But the biggest problem and issue is that of straitjacketing - that we will be stereocast by record and circumstance into a situation most unwelcome
at this point the fear and the need to feel self-assured pushes us into sounding positive about something that we want to think can happen or pushing ourselves towards a situation we feel is inevitable, while we are waiting desperately for someone to convince us otherwise. Neither happens.

no one wants to go to a village(not no one but u get the picture)
Begusarai in Bihar is not for me.
we are scared of a lack of escape routes from certain industries like IT or BFSI yet what's wrong with the role of a specialist?
These aren't uniproduct industries where one repeatedly rolls a hamster wheel for the rest of one's life.

Considering that they are at the exact same stage that fmcg was in 30years back is it not the best time to enter in spite of some flux and turbulence?

So we all continue to offer each other guidance assured in the fact that someone else as unknowlegeable as we are and pobabaly more insecure gave us the same.

he too heard the same advice and propagated it as his own opinion.
And for some reason he believes in what he says at that point without knowing why.

Thus we are all Gurus.

where do we get such wisdom and clarity? we justify our positions by intensity of feeling rather than logic or knowlege. i am waiting for a collective and personal epiphany.
i know what i want to do in life for sure the same way i know that 5 mins later it will be something else.



splitsvilla still plays in the background although i ate out today(no cook)

considering its a hunt for lust, i wonder why they keep chasing the pretty girls out.
