Some more rants... sorry!
I wonder why things have to be this way. Before the reader reaches a conclusion that I am not liking it here in IIMK, let me clarify - I am. But still, I have a major issue with the way things are. For starters I detest the idea that running of each and every club/committee/SIG is decided, not (just) according to the volunteer's talent, but by a vote. This wouldnt have been a problem but for one thing - a month into the insti how much would anyone know about all? Would a vote for or against a person be correct in such a case? Besides all this is the strong undercurrent of politiking... it doesnt help!
Talking about politics, the conception of friendship here is strange. Most guys (and gurlz for that matter!) are here to build a 'network'. While this may not be a problem at first look, it is. People are constantly making judgements about you - how gr8 a manager you would be, would you become a 'big man', what use you could be of. An oaf like me, with no great skills or talents, usually ends up being a useless 'contact'. With this belief goes any chance that anyone is gonna take you seriously. There are a few expections (they are the ones who keep me here!), but would it be better if they were the rules?
I have many more things to say... someother time, I gotta complete a worthless assingment...
