Indian Institute of Managements (IIM) are very important national schools in India for management studies, however, the executives of these school have been partly successful in "gearing" it towards an organization that serves their own ideologies rather than a nation's. Of course, the extent of this "gearing" varies from school to school (there are several schools part of IIM system, e.g. IIM Ahmadabad, Bangalore, etc.) based on their reputation and clout. For example, a new school can not afford to be secretively selective for obvious reasons. In this article, I will try to present one example to illustrate this "gearing". AN EXAMPLE: IIM Ahmadabad (IIM A) calls for GD/PI (Group discussion/Personal Interview) based on following composite score (CS), [see link 1 at the bottom for reference, which is the latest info]: CS = 3(your percentile - cut-off percentile) + AP where AP = P1 + P2, where P1 is calculated for class X score and P2 for ...

A wonderful Saturday, it was. Really, it was a bright and sunny wintery day. Got up on time, because I slept on time. Spent some time in cleaning the dust, laundry, cleaning my car. I had to go to our business party at 6, was late by an hour due to some expected and unexpected problems. Thanks to friends who waited for me to show up late. PS: to make it even better, India won the match against Australia.

nϋvifone – the phone with f (and two stars on u) and every good thing stays intact in n. So finally Garmin has done what all of us were waiting with lot of anticipations and eagerness. It is integration of an indispensable mobile phone, a utility nϋvi GPS and other popular Google tools to use with mobile web. Of course, you have to subscribe to a mobile phone service with mobile web to use it to the fullest (like all other mobile phones) but GPS is free (unlike all other mobile phones). The perfect Thanksgiving gift to say thanks to self for all the hard work done in the year 2008 :o) Linky: http://www8.garmin.com/nuvifone/

Unlike Yahoo Messenger, Gtalk has no option for a user to get into invisible mode. A Gtalk user can block someone to stop him/her from seeing that user on Gtalk. But this also stops the user from seeing the status of the blocked user. Here comes some people who think this is ridiculous. They say why cannot Google simply has a simple time-tested mechanism of allowing invisible mode. The answer is, Google is made of really smart people who believe in equality in information exchange in this Information era where information is the most important thing. They think that www is like a mirror, you can only see someone if that someone can see you. Isn’t this the simplest approach and also a fair one. If you do not like someone to see you online on Gtalk, then you better not add them. Unless you think you are a CEO of some company and most of your friends are jobless people because in that case you do not want them to see you online and start messaging you disturbing you from your ...

We all have things to tell and talk, then why do some people blog and not others? Here are my ten picks: 1. There are some people who seek attention and a willing audience for themselves. 2. There are some people who do it just because it is a fad. 3. There are some people who want to share some information which they think can be useful for other Google searchers. 4. There are some people who do not have many people around them to talk what they want to talk. 5. There are some people who gets a place to talk sexual topics, very honestly, but equally promiscuously. 6. There are some people who love maintaining journals and who have interest in writing since their childhood, so they find it a very nice opportunity. 7. There are some people who are always up for trying new technologies and contributing to them, so that some of them can become regular feature of life later on. 8. There are ...
