I visited the Bangalore MBA Tour event at the Taj today. The Best Part: The beer and tacos I had with shmegs at Pecos a couple of blocks away from the venue. God, this was seriously one really huge village fair. There were so many people at each table that by the time you got a chance to speak to the representative:
a. You've forgotten your questions (or)
b. The rep is so infuriated with the 'regular' questions that he's turned into a mindless zombie who just says "the answer's available online."
Get this: I actually heard a couple of people reeling off their stats and then asking the representatives, "What are my chances?". Wow!
And seriously, what is the fixation that the attendees at these events have with school brochures?? I was personally stepped on, elbowed in the ribs, and pushed a dozen times by this one guy who finally made it to the table, grabbed a brochure and then scooted off! Geez!
Verdict: Stay at home and work on the essays. The MBA tour *can* be missed.
Too bad you had to go to it to find what a riot it was....this was discussed on a previous thread before.
I was registered for the LA session. ended up sleeping and not gng for it.. my friend attended it and left the choicest abuses on my phone...
I think he too had a similar situation..without the man handling...
No offense to Indians.. (I am a very patriotic Indian myself). but we have a fixation for brochures and mindless info-trinkets..the more we collect, the better we feel we are prepared for outcomes and the more knowledgable we feel we are
...
For verification.. watch Indians go berserk in Singapore Changi airport..as they grab the free airport brochures that have singapore city maps..and list of things to do....I am guilty of doing that a couple of times, until I discovered the wonders of the internet.
