IIMs, Office & Chindichors.............................

A lot of things have happened in the last few weeks in my life. The results of IIM interviews were declared finally after a lot of confusion regarding the OBC reservation issue. I was successful in getting the calls from the three smaller ones, however I have decided to stick to the oil industry for the time being.

At the professional front, I faced something which proves that unless you are a big guy, people won't listen to you even if you are right. However, the moment of triumph came some 12 hours and a sleepless night later when people accepted the things when it was said by someone higher up the corporate ladder. Only if they had listened to me, I could have got a good saturday night sleep and my sunday wouldn't have been spent sleeping. By the way that decision also cost a few million bucks.

My friends are experiencing some corporate arm twisting and I think I am not very far from experiencing it myself. Hopefully I'll find some way of giving them back what I get from them.
I am increasingly finding myself a misfit in the baniyagiri setup of India's corporate world. The more I hate chindichors, the more chindichors I have to deal with. My current landlord is one of the bigger ones I have seen. Imagine a guy selling a flat for 25L + & then removing the curtain rods before handing over the flat. Maybe this chindichori is in the blood of a section of society hailed as the business gurus of India.
