It was 18 months back I entered this mad house called the " Corporate World". All thru our MBA we were taught this is the ultimate life which gives you power, fame and lots of money.....
18 months down the line I find myself midst of everything but these three...
What u actually get in return is - donkey work, responsibility without authority, and company of people, who I personally call professional version of "lalita pawar's" and " shashi kala's". Why they have been given this name is because of their commendable act of making plans each moment of how to take the credit without doing any work. Given a Chance they would not even think twice before even back biting
My teachers in MBA used to shout " the corporate world is waiting for you, u are the future". For sure the corporate world was waiting for us- SLAVES we are!!
I wonder have I done MBA or Masters of Administration.
Its not actually cribbing what I am doing right now- it's more of amusement over the huge difference between reality and the perceived notion of the corporate world.
Well as every one says these are the learning years and to be successfull one has to grill himself, before he actually gets to the top. The learning part I dont mind as long as I dont learn being another Lalita Pawar and Shashi Kala :-)

Ouch.. that hurts! But welcome to the 'real' world. :) Morpheus' words spoken on celluloid are just about perfect in this case. Masters of Administration with 'Business' being 'silent'. Not that I know much 'bout this field, but guess its not just the MBAs who suffer..
Want to escape this? Then keep studyin'.. thats what PhD's all 'bout.. :D delayin' the inevitable reality..
