Of Hell, Administration and Irony !!!

There are 2 kinds of people in this world. Those who want things to happen, those who make things happen... Then I realized that I fit into a new category.. the elite group of the ones who keep wondering "what the hell happened"..

One observation I have had as a MBA Student is the community's obsession for the world HELL.. (they also are obsessed with another 4 letter word which they use in practically every sentence they speak.. but I ll restrict discussing that considering one of my regular (and the only one) visitors being a conservative septuagenarian buffoon).

"This is HELL of task we have ahead" is what we say when all we need to do is make 5 slides for a presentation with one week to go..

"What a HELL of a batch it is.." is what every teachers say commenting on our batch of 60.. And

"What the HELL" is what we shamelessly wonder on seeing the results of exams..

Thus the word remains same, the only thing that changes is its use as a noun, adjective, adverb or a verb.. (Remember Osho !!!)

G B Shaw once wittily said "Those who can.. DO.. Those who cant.. TEACH.. Those who cant do both.. ADMINISTRATE".. This clearly shows why politicians are nt expected to do anything productive. I ve always believed that Politicians and Diapers both need to be changed regularly...and for the same reason. But one category that the "Witty Shaw" failed to incorporate is the one to which I belong.. I mean.. what if one cant ADMINISTRATE too.. What should he do.. The answer is "BLOG".. Write all the crankiest and the weirdest of the things one can dream of, emphasize on topics that makes least sense and keep visiting the blog yourself umpteen times a day so that the count increases.. At least it gives a pseudo hope that someone is reading the articles..

Life as a MBA student made us face a number of ironical situations. The mark sheet of the first trimester was a classic example to this. I got a "A" in the Accounting and Economics Subjects, which i m sure would have made Adam Smith's soul restless as I still dont know if Assets are placed on left side of balance sheet and liabilities on right (Or is it Liabilities on left with assets on right.. anyways huh).. The only thing i can calculate is simple interest that too for a maximum period of an year.. Talking of irony, i saw a book in the crosswords last week.. "Almost Missed the Bus by Justin Time”. Epitome of irony I must say.. The report card was not all that ironical and had some true facts.. Me getting a “B” in Information Systems.. After all everyone knew why I was kicked out of my job to join the only institute which believes in social work and alloted me a seat as an act of social service to the clan of invalids.. An Act truly meant to Transcend Horizons !!
