Not Cool !!!!

MBA, a three letter acronym is a world unto itself; How similar it is to another three lettered word that changes the course of history of worlds - "WAR".

Apart from the obvious vowel that they share, there is also the quality that changes the lives of people to whom the three lettered euphemism for hell happened. 

Yes, it "happens" to people and I’ll be very lucky to take a step out of the hamster wheel in between and steal a glance outside the cage (and turn green on seeing the beautiful seagull flying over the Bay of Fundy, towards the ocean with grace and purpose). 

Assignments are like flak targeting you, and you have to perform brutally insane acrobatics to give yourself a fair chance of out-maneuvering them. And then, if you did manage to fly out of their range with a decent C+ by serendipity or miraculous slip-up by the pets (bless them for keep the faculty in a perennial good mood) , a swarm of enemy aircraft show up on you radar. At first, they look like harmless flies that you imagine you can swat away. Yes, the finals, presentations, reports; they look like they are so far away that if you talk about them, you can be sure to get a laugh or two – even from the group of morbid faces logging into blackboard to submit the assignments as soon as they are posted. But they keep getting bigger and bigger, looming nearer and nearer, and one fine morning, pufff!!! they start exactly a month from today!!!!!

You cannot escape enemy fire; no matter how deep your trenches are, even if you manage to get yourself into the vanguard, the V2 missiles - Quizzes - are falling like snow in December, all over the land. The **** has hit the fan, its showering ugly D’s and F’s.  

As if this is not enough, the media is blaring out its speakers about double dip and euro meltdown. I have always respected the Greek. They have given us a lot of philosophy and have happy sounding names. But trying to create a Greek tragedy out of the Euro, and giving every soul graduating next year sleepless nights!!! Not cool man, not cool!!!
