'WHAT YOUNG INDIA WANTS' AND 'MBA AT 16' : Two books I recommend to teens .


I don't usually read lot of books nowadays and have never reviewed any books yet in this blog , and this one is also not one.
I don't have a pile of literature at my home except books by Chetan Bhagat and Shiva trilogy .I usually read some Sci-Fi kind of books , but I am not here to review about one of them , but to quote about two books which I would recommend to all.
"WHAT YOUNG INDIA WANTS " by Chetan Bhagat and
"MBA at 16 " by Subroto Bagchi .
I would say ,both are having an extra brain in their own fields. It has to be, right ?
CB has two great Indian institutes as his Alma matter :IIT-D ,IIM-M. The other Guy co-founded Mind tree .
I've read 'WHAT YOUNG INDIA WANTS' during last December , it had many of his articles published yet and came to read 'MBA AT 16' last month.
If to say about WHAT YOUNG INDIA WANTS , CB's articles addresses many problems in India in his own way of representation , the short story at the end is perfectly a true thing that happens on many plus two passouts .
Coming to MBA AT 16 , it taught me what investment is about , terms in business , outsourcing .Etc.
Some things which I  understood from the entire book are :
1. complex phrases like 'strategic and effective way of exploiting information technology systems ' may pull out the eyes of a lemman , but believe me people , if you could read that once without any mistake you've learnt half of it.
2. Investment :  I've been hearing this word since my kiddo times , now it's a kiddy thing for me after I've read this.
and many more.
When both these books are completely read , it puts you up for something special ,
it helps in interviews I would say ,
for public speaking ,
for seminars ,
it may even brings it the sleeping ideas and trigger an entrepreneurship like I've got one in my mind ,I will write about that shortly .
Take time , read both.

The keam Run : final stage !


My dear passed out +2 Brothers and Sisters !
Hope everyone of you is happy with your results .
I know the word everyone doesn't actually imply anything.

Engineering seat allotment is about to be announced in kerala according to kee rank and options candidates have registered . So ,many of us are in big anxiety.
Hope everyone had chosen a stream in which you are more interested in . Don't listen to the talks of others especially your relatives.Parents may remain quiet, because they may be in a dilemma . But the remaining members (in the name of Relations) would spoil your interest & career .
So Please don't listen to them . Be strong & sure in what you want to do and which would suit more for your career and more of it :YOU !Go for your passion . But certain courses are research oriented and has less opportunities.Its a fact.
People may say ,if you take this particular stream , you will end up jobless. Etc. ,it may be sometimes correct. For example ,taking up courses leading to aviation industry is risky as the industry isn't stable for opportunities. But ,firstly you've got to be satisfied ,not someone else !
Like Aamir Khan says in 3 idiots ,Passion matters ! Always and every time. !

I had come across a news in matrubhumi yesterday regarding seat allotment process ,that government is favoring private self-financing colleges in allotment process. Apart from last years, there are only 2 allotments this time ,if any govt. merit seat remain unoccupied after allotment ,the management of that college has the right to make it management seat ,if the allotted candidate isn't making admission procedures to the allotted college ,they've got to pay fine .Now ,the people are protesting against it .
But ,may I ask why ?
Why these people are protesting ?
All the rules and regulations regarding the entire Kerala engineering and medical entrance thing is specified in the KEAM BIBLE :"the 128 paged keam prospectus" .
All these are also clearly mentioned during option registration as guidelines ,it's meaningless to protest now.
Self-financing colleges run on there own , according to present rules 50 % of their seats are to be filled by the government allocations .It's a fact that for many years ,many of these seats were remaining unfilled at many colleges throughout Kerala. It means a great loss to them . Many people simply gave random options at these colleges and later if they claim that they were not seeking admission there ,what do we call these people as ?

Last year thousands of engineering seats were remaining unoccupied in Kerala. When these facility is available in our own state ,I've seen many people going to some engineering colleges in very poor condition  at Tamil Nadu ,Karnataka etc.

Getting an engineering seat is not a big issue nowadays. There are lots of engineering colleges all around. There are around 150 engineering colleges in India including government colleges ,government controlled self-financing colleges,aided,private self financing colleges etc.
If you've money you could get one . I've seen many people spending lot of money in luxuries ,buying high end gadgets throughout years ,when they have got to spend something for education ,they don't have any . So awesome !

Wish everyone get the trade seeking at the college they want it !

 But , there too : you had to choose the stream first ,then the college.
