Amazing how you can get into victim mode
When you are the one doing the victimizing.
http://www.telegraphindia.com/1070331/asp/nation/story_7588709.asp“I don’t mind competing in CAT (Common Admission Test) with general category students. The problem arises at the interview stage.
“We (OBC students) can’t speak chaste English like many of the general category students. That’s why the quota was so important for us,” said Rajesh
Poor baby. He doesnt mind competing CAT in the general category. How generous of him.
For jerks like Rajesh here, do you know how long I prepared for CAT? THREE FUCKING LONG YEARS. For three years, I constantly watched my grammar. I constantly looked up my diction. I consciously managed the way I spoke. And I did not get through at IIM A. I got an interview call, and failed the interview. You f***** jerk! What ever makes you think you are more entitled to get in that I am, just because I was born a "brahmin"?
And incidentally, just for the record, the board at the the IIMs wont fail you just because of poor english. If you want ot succeed, succeed on accountof hard work. Short cuts in life dont work. They mess up the system for ALL of us.

Two Articles, one wondering reader
Article 1 -
Aishwarya Rai's New Home (or is it?)Rediff sets the standards (Along with mid-day) for crappy journalism- and this is a prime example of that. The only thing lacking here is the terrible english. That would have rounded it off nicely. WTH is the "journalist" trying to say here?
First off, I don't care where Aishwarya Rai is going to be living (I do care about ensuring I never have to see any of her interviews on TV). But I will be generous to people who probably want to, though I can't for hte life of me, figure out why. What really gets my goat is- what exactly is the point here? I went to Bandra hoping to catch a glimpse of Rai's new home, but turns out it wasnt Rai's. But I have a deadline- what do I do...
The article would have been more suitably titled "Description of a useless junket to follow up a lead that turned cold and consequent junk to fill up a news article deadline". Or more simply - "Timesheet for the day".
Article 2 -
A nice nugget from Amit VermaMy thoughts exactly. But so succinctly put!
And the esteemed Pt. Nehru has left us another ever-lasting legacy which Verma has missed - The Kashmir Crisis. The story might be apocryphal (I doubt it though- have read it in a newspapaer,shd find some links on that)- but our man Nehru called for a ceasefire when
India was on the verge of throwing Pakistan from Kashmir. This shd probably sum Nehru up- Idealistic and Idiotic.
