In the Government Now

In the Govt now ( This is my modified version of the Song in the Army now - Status Quo )

A vacation in the Mumbai land
Joy does the best he can
You're in the Government now
Oh, oh, you're in the Government now

Now you remember what the old man said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the Government now
Oh, oh, you're in the Government now

You be the hero of the FAMILYhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
You're in the Government now
Oh, oh, you're in the Government now

Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the Government now
Oh, oh, you're in the Government now

Hand flying over your keyboard
Word flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
You're in the Shift now
Oh, oh, you're in the Government now

Trains pass out in the dead of night
The boss calls (stand up and fight)
You're in the Government now
Oh, oh, you're in the Government now

You've got your orders better work on sight
Your finger's on the keyboard
But it don't seem right
You're in the Government now
Oh, oh, you're in the Government now
You're in the Government now
Oh, oh, you're in the Government now

Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the Government now
Oh, oh, you're in the Government now
You're in the Government now
Oh, oh, you're in the Government now

Oh, oh, you're in the Government now

CATASTROPHE

100 ... 150 ... 200 ... Woooooooosssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh 75 .

"75 Questions 300 marks, IIM sealed Qualtiy, 4 marks each question 1 mark for wrong answers each section has 25 question"

This is what was expected when a neat packet of white crisped bonded sealed pack of polythene was given to the person at the cost of 1200 INR. On opening, the quality of 2/3 of the product was below the par and then further even after 10 minutes of solving the 2 parts of the 2/3 parts, it was just anomalous. The paper was completely malnourished with no intergradient of intelligence in either of the two section whether DI or Quant, and was amalgamated with a tinge of adulteration, which are as listed:

Set 111

QA

Q 56: In Set 111 and Set 333, instead of “September: 8” it should be

September: 28”

Although the same question in Set 222, 444 printed it correctly

Q 59: Correct Answer should be 15 Kg, which does not appear among the option

Choices.

Set 444

VA

Q 30: There are only 3 choices instead of 5

Option (3) is incomplete

Two questions, which were worth 10 marks, will this be a reason for a catastrophe in a student's life. Is it again the time for a CAT Retest? What do you think? Is it not that 10 marks in this exam will cause a lot of difference. As per the different institutes reporting different cutoffs is it not that the students who spent the time in solving the above problems will suffer. Think about set 444 where only 3 options were printed.

I believe, CAT Authority will definitely have a say on that, wherein they will say that ,they have the right to ignore any questions, so what about this take of mine, "Let them scrap off the DI and Maths Section and only give calls on the basis of the English Section". This is to tell the people around here that this bumptious behavior of IIM will just not be tolerated; this cannot put the aspirants off. This blow of the IIMS would have caused a concussion, concussion to the minds of the student, yes we all agree, but can it put us into a state of condolence, condolence for what? Condolence to ourselves! Should this thing be condoned? I don’t think so; my take on this is that, a congenial explanation and a solution should be provided for this. What i think is that any decision should not leave anyone in a peculiar predicament. I am not demanding a full restitution for this but want to question in the end only on this "Was it not required by the IIMS to show great prescience in setting the paper and just checking the same before it was sent out".

I have lost my Tranquility!!!

Lage Raho India

A very strong word which came into the existence suddenly after a movie called Munna bhai was released was ‘Gandhigiri’, never saw the movie completely but then remember one part of the movie where Gandhi comes in and talks to the famous hero of the Bollywood (India’s Hollywood) Sanjay Dutt. A scene from the movie which came into my mind after a statue of Bhim Rao Ambedkar was allegedly found vandalized in Kanpur was when Gandhi's Statue was also vandalized and Gandhi himself asks to bring down and tear off all the statues and his photos, not because he does not want them, but where in just the opposite he wants to be remembered always, not when someone sees his statues or photographs.
Well there are many question which could be debated on, but the last two incidents of violence due to the vandalizing of two statues first of Mita Thackery (wife of Bal Thackery ) and yesterday of Bhim Rao Ambedkar has brought me into a state of dilemma. Several incidence of violence have been reported in the different part of the country and people are trying to find out the culprits. Then was this the right way to show the sentiments. Burning of train and causing harm to the public property is just not and should not be accepted, and those who commit this atrocity should be definitely tried and punished.
A famous celebrity or an Entrepreneur whatever you call him, commented once after the famous Mandal Case, " India is the only place in the world where you fight to be of a backward class”, even though this was talked about a lot in the media, one thing which was not debated was that how come a person who is supposed to rule the world in one field, be so much into the class system.Is this a new division of the country? For ages India has been divided, and this division is not on the basis of any religion, but its on the basis of one word which has always haunted India, starting from the early evolution of the mankind (a famous story of the same in Ramayana, where in there is an old lady called Shabri who was a Shudra) and that is ‘Castism. Ok before going more into this let me take you through some basics. Through ages India has been divided into the following 4 categories:
The first is Brahmin. The Learned, professors, priests…
The Second is the Kshtriyas: The warriors, soldiers, and protectors…
The third is the Vaishyas: the Commercial community, shopkeepers, and traders…
The fourth is the Shudras: The working community, those who serve the first three
What we have not understood is that, even after such a long time, Globally no one is categorized into these categories. In India immigrants (whatever this maybe defined as if people are coming to South from North, Or West to East, the people migrating have been called immigrants) have always been successfully assimilated into different communities, and this is what they should understand. We have always commiserated with them and what we don’t understand is that, we have been continuously accused of consistently and callously ill-treating them.
Clemency is one part, which has been the weakness of India and there are always few people who are just Cankers in the society. These cankers even though they maybe passionate about whatever they do, they are never cloying or sentimental. What I would call them is Insane. Points to be assimilated and thought over at this moment is that rather than giving a boisterous welcome to such an incident, we should drive on these incidents with a blithe disregard for the different intentions of the culprit. There are always certain people in the different communities who take a sadistic pleasure in doing things which tend to attenuate the peace of the society, but if the people stop being so sanctimonious, then no wonder this would has a salutary effect upon the peace of the society.
