In Limbo..

The movie Inception has been making rounds in my heads since I watched it a few days ago. Cannot help but compare how our lives are going the Inception way.
Consider this:  Right now ISB appears to be the reality and this wait has kept us in Limbo ! We try getting kickbacks to the real world (read ISB) through the FB page, and people who are already there in the real world (our seniors). But the kickbacks aren't strong enough to take us out of this limbo ! Guess the real kickback is going to be the O-Week which will formally bring us on the ISB world ! :-)

But Hey Wait ! The ISB world will not be real either ! Will it ? It will be a dream within a dream scenario again with ISB this time as the dream and the Corporate World as the reality. We will be slogging out against each others Projections till the Placement month of January, hoping for a good kickback again, this time to the Corporate world with fatter paychecks and a mind full of gyaan ! And it takes no Extractors to find what's going on in the dreams of 90% of the batch! Shhhh.... Its Consultancy. :-)

Hey wait again ! Lets get this thing a little more complex ! Is corporate world the reality? Where do we head to after a hectic days work ? Friends, families and may be ourselves? But we already have them with us now ! So why are we getting ourselves these kickbacks for the coming year ?

The reality check is that good salaries shouldn't be our kickbacks ! New friends and good relations could be  better kickbacks in the long run !
The reality check is that we shouldn't slog against each others the coming one year ! Thriving for knowledge could be a better kickback !

And to lighten up the mood, here is a cartoon I made based upon the idea suggested by Varun Sayal. If you like the cartoon, you can join in at Arbit's Facebook Page for more.

Arbit Choudhury, hailing from www.arbitmba.com will join as a management student at ISB this april !  A student with big dreams and bigger mouth, replete with jargon, Arbit will try making mockery of management concepts and theories. Ideas for the Arbit strip can be sent across at arbit[dot]mba[at]gmail[dot]com
