global warming ... fancy phrase .. or reality?

Well this term has been coined and thrown around for a long time now. We cannot deny it exists. But somehow we are determined to penalize anyone who bloats these figures. The fact that global warming is anthropogenic cannot be denied. We contribute the most to this phenomenon. To blame innocent cow's of contributing 2% of global warming, I believe is pointless. Infact people might actually start eating more cow's on account of wanting to save the planet and reduce global warming. So what if their gas has catastrophic effects, even if we put all the cow's together that's just 2%. We humans contribute the rest. To make a mockery of the IPCC and its findings, to equate their fudged figures to be a monumental mistake not be taken seriously. i believe is a grave error in judgement. Their image is damaged and their data will not be taken seriously from now on. There will be more doubts, more confusion and no centrally accepted statistic available for presentation. China is happy to align itself with the developing BASIC countries. It does not matter that they have over taken the U.S. as the highest in CO2 emissions. Smart move they say... but at what cost? What will be our fate in the coming years if this carries on?

It is a fact that there won't be any fuel left in 41 years if we continue our present rate of consumption. If a few bloated figures get the countries to co-operate and take action to stop global warming i believe its worth the risk. Many of us don't realize that we contribute to about .00001% of global warming. It seems like an insignificant percentage, but if 5 of us decided to make a conscious effort to reduce wastage of resources that is .00005% less isn't it ?

how many of you

1) switch off your bike or car engines in signals where the clock has more than 20 seconds to go?

2) how many of us refuse plastic bags at the grocery store?

3) How many of us turn off the water while brushing our teeth?

4) How many of us car pool or bike pool?

These are really simple acts that you and I can do everyday. But it seems that even the educated folk are lazy to try it. These are 4 things we can do and it wont cost us much to do it.

Why is that no one believes a single person can make a difference? What happened to 'be the change you want to see'. Will it always remain just a slogan? or will it become more? the ball is in your court......

Anxiety... emotional distress... !!

These emotions might seem familiar to you, if you have written CAT this year. With a flawed education system testing our patience to the limits there is only one other thing that can go wrong. Our results can be completely messed up... Will my scores be good enough... Well i don't care... I just want my results so i can get on with my life!! to wait 3 months for a computerized test result!! ugh!!

the reason we had this exam as a CBT was to minimize labour and make sure the system is not time consuming!!! oh the irony!!!

XAT results came out in 2 weeks and this was a paper pencil test attended by 1 Lakh students this year. Why is that the IIM's have no clue as to when the results will be out? I did not think anxiety could kill a person but if this goes on any longer i think it just might...

This years CAT marred with imperfections and glitches at every stage is by far a students worst nightmare. I really wish we could sue them for emotional distress... but since thats not possible im gonna settle for some good old fashioned ranting :)

well im done i think... will keep u guys posted on the progress if any.... MICAT is next... where i expect i'll have my behind handed to me on a platter...

cheers mate!!

settling?!?!

Many of us have insecurities... we are plagued with them... they follow us almost everywhere. Right this moment i have a million thoughts wrecking havoc in my brain... But how is it that a few errant thoughts can make you feel so small... It should'nt be possible... but it is.. how of us can deal with this kind of situation... how many really?
I for one have not gotten even one call from any decent B-school
who cares if i was crazy enuf to give up a job at world bank and take this up...I say to myself what wer you thinking? But somehow it seems like this will be the end of time as we know it... for me its make or break...
how many of us can pick ourselves up when we fall?
I admit im quite heavy... i need help... to be pulled up... from this miserable well iv fallen into...
I do not want to settle for a univ that is second best... im better than that... im capable of doing well...
but what is the cause for all this frustration... i'll finally get to the point guys...

it's because we have a flawed education system that *!!!
its impractical and absolutely absurd to say that a guy who has got 99.99 is better than a guy who has gotten 99.98!!! i mean come on!! How can you just crush someones dreams based on a few points!! it's absurd....
take me for example!! iv got just 71% in xat... does this mean im not a good student??!!
NO!! infact i'd go as far as to say im better than most of people doing an MBA in a decent institute.
I was born to do this... i have the skill set ... the profile... everything... but that has no relevance what so ever.... u'd think they wud take a page from the movie 3 idiots... But the Indian education system is forever flawed and we as students are not helping... there have been no protests... or crimes of passion!!! I mean someone get the shiv sena to say sumthing on this issue gud or bad !! we really do need the publicity!! because these days its the only thing that counts as newsworthy!! Why is that the ones who really deserve something don't end up getting what they want? Is this the way fate works... cruel twists and turns... unexpected ... unwanted... Why is it that justice and true fairness in the system can never be ensured?... why is it that good candidates miss out because of a conceptually broken system ?? It is infuriating. Scores are essential parameter to judge a students potential... one cannot deny that... but to using that as the only parameter to shortlist... not looking at the profile of worthy candidates... I believe robs the nation of its chance to produce some top notch business minds and entrepreneurs.Why are we still a developing nation... it is because we refuse to correct a flawed system??!!! I'd say absolutely!!

PS: this is me ranting i need this... so lol... im sry for this pointless post... but i needed to vent and this helped...
