a study on MBA

Today i was happened to face few questions. they are
1. Why do i need MBA at this stage
2. which is preferrable, Indian B-Schools or Intl B-Schools ?
I have few answers for these questions which were not convincing it seems
1.Why do i need MBA at this stage
I am techie guy now and i am not using much technology at my work place. I am not feeling fine to sit idle in the organization. I started going into people management side to balance the work. Now i am more into that side and there is not much to do even in that as ours is a small team.Option now is to jump to other team or other company. For this i need to learn a new technology, which i dont prefer. i want to be a manager at the earliest. but another question again?
what type of management it should be? No answer with me. All i want is people's manager in short duration
Coming to second question
First reason is i dont want to leave India, as i want to give physical presence doing charity
Second reason is i dont want to spend much amount on MBA
i must thank shailaja for giving enough inputs clearing few things about MBA.
Here are some of few inputs by shailaja:
Me: in what way it helps me
S: now u r someone who is coding/programming/supporting...u can changes companies...but what if u dont like the sector which u r working.what if u want to come to educational sector
r retailing.u again need to start from scratch...we dont hav that time n patience to wait for no reason
thats when it helps and if u want to b in the same sector...to become a project manager if u take another 5 yrs
MBA cuts it short to 2 yrs.

Me: difference between IIM's and Intl B-Schools
S: IIMs or any top 10 B-Schools in India definitely offer quality and if u wannt u work in India...u dont hav to worry bcos ur MBA is done in abt 5 lakhs.Indian MBA is giid when u r having until 3 yrs exp (not hard n fast rule).when u r with say abt 5+ yrs work exp n want to work in different countries...and hav gr8 n/wing with diff ppl n cultures....then intl MBA suits. Indian MBA is still academic...thats why it takes even freshers
MBA abroad is for those who are practising managers(in general) ...so....MBA abroad requires u having good exp

will investigate into this until i am convinced about everything and all set to do MBA

Guru - Review

First 20 Mins of the Movie - Movie starts with soothing Background music. Titles were good. Mayya song was good. Abhishek's role was well justified in this 20 mins. really great direction by maniratnam in this 20 minutes. Especially when Abhishek says " when i can do it here, i can do any where, i will start doing for my own".....can be rated 4.5/5
Next 30 minutes of the movie - Mithun daa stands as an asset in this period of time. His body language well suited the role. Abhishek was bit uneasy regarding his body language. Aish made a normal entry. Barso re song was not well shooted. can be rated 3.5/5
next 15 mins- episode before climax, Mani took the pace here, Abhishek and Mithun's action was too good in this episode. especially abhishek's dialogue delivery which is dominating his poor body language . can be rated 5/5
next 30 mins - Abhishek once again rocks here. songs have been little miserable, but Back ground music through out the movie is awesome and only rahman can make that. Abhishek's speech addressing his employees stands as highlight here. 3.5/5
next 30 minutes - real pains starts here. its again mani, who made it worst. abhishek loses the battle here completely. Mani should stop showing up his intelligence and keep the pace of the movie. Mani aimed few scenes here and brought the movie there instead of maintaining movie pace going. Asset is A.R.R's Music and Aish acting, they made movie average here. 2.5/5
next 15 mins- Mani sucks here. climax is clinching. Mani became a real escapist here. nothing interesting in this episode. can be rated 2/5. 2 only for abhishek and A.R.R
Over all Movie is 3/5. Instead of few highlights, Mani made it worst in the middle
A.R.R's magic again saved movie. Aish - nothing interesting about this girl
Abhishek - should improve his body language, everything else is perfect
Vidyabalan - Mani should answer regarding why is she there
madhavan - so so
mithun chakravarthy - another hero in the movie. best performance so far i have seen
Should thank mani except for few disgusting scenes

On Jan1st

26 day old matter....but the joy we had still encourages me to express it. its a 5 year old tradition partying with btech fnds on 31st night. So all btech fnds from hyderabad met afternoon at 1:30. We planned to have lunch. we were waiting for an important guest, who travelled from mumbai to hyderabad and he is now in a park dating girls. atlast he has come and we had a beautiful lunch in anupama restaurent, its not abt filling our stomache, but its all about filling our heart ...day went till evening, i took permission and left for that evening and said that will be back by night...
On that evening i met niitians, i was always fascinated about that fact that my relation with niitians is just an year old, but its worth 20 year relation. it will be a real joy meeting my niit fnds, the evening i spent with sriram, sarita, subhash, raja, navin and amit is worth. startling thing over there is navin's (software engineer who is positive about having negative attitude) discussing with amit(HR guy, who always feel positive attitude is a strength). they were discussing without a single argument. As usual sriram and sarita showing up their blank faces saying they are not interested in career discussions, My self and raja having fun on rest of the people. anyways an hour with niitians never disappoints, that was an awesome 31st evening.
Now the time is 10 p.m
everything is ready, party started at 11, beautiful blend of scotch, gobi and biriyani...boring programs in T.V. except for Maa TV, where all heroines were dancing, it was bit better compared to other channels. Sreenu(Mumbai guy) is showing over enthu towards hindi songs and wanna say us that he can manage hindi now. Sivaraj, his initial stages boozing, so normally trying to have more drink and show that he has got more stamina. Obulesh, less drink- more biriyani(one or other day i would kill this guy for sure). Rakesh, Our arnold, Sunil - scary guy, myself king...we made few calls and finally we ended that night as we need to travel next morning to Nagarjun sagar...
Morning 5:00, we are in tavera, started songs..arnold started relaxing, indicating that he is not in mood. at 8:00, we reached sagar, no signal there unforunately, i disappointed my fans this time. but i was happy with the fact that i wished my parents. we had a boat ride, it was more like a R.T.C bus journey. Nothing interesting, boat ride sucks. they left in some island. we went into museum, i found it interesting to see nothing interesting in that museum...came out.
we reached cafeteria, sagar is filled with tourists, we started commenting them. we had a great laughter show there for 2 hours. we are back now. Again boozing and food. Now it is all over, thrilling journey, travelled @ 1oo km/hr till hyderabad. Missed few accidents. Reached hyd in 1:30 minutes. Thanks to our driver for making it thrilling.
