Read for Inspiration :-)

Don't Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but do not quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.


What is Life?
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

IIM-C topping salary charts this year yet again.. !

IIM CALCUTTA - Placement Report 2004

IAS Vs IIM (MBA) Debate!!


Time and again.. this is the question which keeps trickling.. in the minds of almost every student of our country. The reasons for this are varied. Well.. i m not gonna mention all.. but would essentially try to throw light on some.. one by one..

Lemme began the first by quoting, an excerpt from our national pink dailies - The Economic Times or ET as it is popularly known.

TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ MONDAY, MARCH 22, 2004 02:10:43 PM ]
MUMBAI: While one acronym symbolises power, the other symbolises pelf....


Quite true.. as said above.. IAS is the gateway to power.. whereas an MBA from IIM opens door to Dollar Salaries.. Working in Dream Companies.. and so on!

Every year.. once the placements in these Centres of Excellence gets over.. this question arises again..!! The reason.. the graduates from these institutes are offered start-up salaries which an IAS, IFS or IPS officer would make close to the end of a career spanning three decades.

This salary imbalance often lead to uncomfortable situations.. putting the student in a dilemna whether he should go for an MBA or a Career in Civil Services.. which is said to be the prestigious career since British Raj The IAS is seen as an illustrious career-path that could do wonders to one's self-esteem and could rocket the family repute as well.

I can elaborate on this much more.. but for now.. i invite you to comment on this post.. about what would you have gone in for and why if given a choice between the two!!

I 'll definitely get back to this post again soon..
Till then.. Goodbye from me!

36 Godly Ways to Reduce Stress!!

1. Pray

2. Go to bed on time.

3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.

4. Say No, to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will
compromise your mental health.

5. Delegate tasks to capable others.

6. Simplify and unclutter your life.

7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)

9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time;
don't lump the hard things all together.

10. Take one day at a time.

what God would have you to do and let go of the anxiety.
If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.

12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.

13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried
in the garden, extra stamps, etc.,

good "Thank you, Lord!"

31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).

32. Sit on your ego.

33. Talk less; listen more.

34. Slow down.
