I am no Specialist- part 2

this is a continuation of my earlier post on the course given to us for finance... earlier we were all rejected because we didn't have the necessary background required to handle this course even after we did well in the test and then the interview was pretty shoddy...ok.. no problem...we moved on...but for term 5 when we say our electives in finance we got surprised...all that was gonna be taught in the advance finance course has been offered to a bunch of generalists with most of us having little or no inclination towards it...
if u think about the level of stupidity in course design u would mock how a management institute is being run...first u say that we r not good enough for the course then u offer the entire course to the whole class who have no choice but to take it if they are gonna major in finance... what s the justification???...none. second, if a prof leaves the course is also packed with him and sent out of college...sounds bizarre doesn't it?? n that not just for one paper but for others...third, all claims of being a b school gets lost if the student don't have choice on the no. of papers in their specialisation is too few.. i know the problem is that we don't have the numbers but what about the student's area of interest?? doesn't that count for anything??
i have said enough n i feel sick..

Discovering Disc in Chennai...Pasha!!

after 1 year in chennai we found a disco...Eureka! Eureka! Eureka!...no i am not naked running on the streets of chennai but its such a relief...Pasha is in the Park and rajat n i decided to give it a shot today...with some friends of rajat's we landed in the so called heppest place in the city.. first impressions...too small n for 1 k only .5 k was worth drinks...that kind of put us off...but the crowd just blew our minds away!!! definitely not the typical type but too hip and happening by chennai standards...the dance floor was soo small that we were rubbing against each other shamelessly( not against rajat!!!) that we forgot we were in chennai..the girls were mind blowing...not seen any like this in chennai before...the crowd was wild and it had practically no level of decency if one could say...but to me it's the answer to breaking away from the conservative outlook of the city and accepting more open culture... it was fantastic...we had decided that given our expectations of chennai we were at rock bottom so anything else is just upside...the barmen put up a show with the bottles and the girls were lovely... first time since back at home did i see short skirts on girls and well rest is left to imagination... all i am gonna say is this was definitely not that last time for us... cheers to that
