Life is unfair- I’m not denying that. My only complaint is why isn’t it ever unfair in my favor. Sure I’m not the only one who failed. Sure ninety percent of people who were running behind the same thing as me lie stuck in the same abyss. But I’m sorry, I ain’t from the ilk […]

While I haven’t read the best selling book ‘Divergent’ by Veronica Roth, I was quite amused and baffled by the comments from individuals mentioning how the movie doesn’t capture all that’s there in the book and of various other dis-similarities between the book and the movie. After all, the movie is based on the book […]

An RTI application regarding IIM Ahmedabad admissions has taken the B-school circle by storm. The RTI query has disclosed that for the last academic year (2013-2015) the institute has ‘possibly’ admitted ST students with a percentile as low as 38.34%.

Recently, I, Rishikesh Pande (not Pandey), talked about a ‘devil’ in our society on my blog post “The name’s ‘Pande’ not ‘Pandey” – a devil called “Racism”. This post is about possible methods to curb the ‘devil’. But before we move ahead, let’s go through the dictionary to truly understand what the word ‘racism’ means. […]

My regular travel in trains made me realize how B-schools in India can directly be correlated to the Indian RailWAYS. AC I Class(The IIM-A,B,C Level) : This class is the most coveted one. Everyone wants to be in it. Many know they won’t make it, so they don’t even try for it. They prefer other […]

You cannot judge a fish’s true ability by asking it to climb a tree. Every candidate who appears for CAT is different – different strengths and weaknesses, different accuracy levels, different comfort zones when it comes to time for practice. Thus, to form a good exam taking strategy each student must have a customised preparation/practice […]

Sometimes in life we feel so blue. Sticking to our pains as strong as glue. Desolated, broken, miserable we feel. With this life, we think we can never deal. Just give a thought about the rest of the world. Where books have never been seen. Where work is to just wait and hope. Where education […]

In spite of all the progress that a nation confesses to have made over the years, there is still an element of discomfort in acceptance of inter-culture/religion marriages. Filmmakers over the years have enjoyed the cinematic stress to convey that it’s the mutual connect of a couple that essentially makes the cut. But, in the […]

This is turning out to be a bizarre and disappointing election in terms of the issues being raised and the concerns being highlighted. Some minor former official writes a book; a politician’s marital status becomes headline news; a high-profile candidate’s sister and her off-the-cuff remarks are interpreted by overzealous journalists: is this really what the […]
