I searched for my name on the internet, and a host of links came flooding on the screen, mostly from my blog, some from other people’s blog that I had commented on, and then a totally different set from community portals like facebook, linkedIn etc. Information, that is sometimes personal, some sentimental story that I had posted about three years ago, or some twisted ideology, influenced out of movies/debris of books etc. I went along till about 5 - 6 pages of this, till i thought to myself, this is such a good venue to share ideas, why not share better ideas.

Why not do something that we all can benefit from. Fortunately I have a readership who are all people who can contribute something to this world. At some point of time in their lives, I believe these people are going to become people who would have a chance to make a difference and I should use this exposure that I have to put ideas into their minds.

At some point of time in my life, I intend to do an MBA. I have always wanted to do it and I hope I would be able to soon. In the current world, when you mention MBA, the fields of finance, consulting etc. comes rushing to your mind. Money has been associated with an MBA for a long long time. Is that what an MBA should all be about. Most MBA schools in India, seems to have their focus centered around “Placements”. The criterion for students to join them is how good their placements are and how high the outgoing salaries are.

A graduate school should be much more than that. A graduate school, especially MBA, is building a set of leaders into this world. These are people who should be brought up to be in a position where they would be able to have a say in the lives of many people. The schools have to be able to prepare the students on more than just how to succeed in the cut throat market. They’ve got to build better leaders, they have got to build leaders who can think and act sensibly for the common good rather than just sheer profit.

I intend to pursue this web log in such a way that I can bring out ideas that I have or I grasped can be shown to my readers. I have been blessed with a lot of readers whom I believe would have a chance to make a difference at some particular point of time in their lives.
