maybe it is not for you but for many like me who has invested so much in it and donot come from middle or high income family , it is a matter of life and death , the word empathy is common among only big city dwellers as in smaller city and villages it is part of daily life. tHIS COMMENT SECTION shows how diverse and big india is. what is true for one person in india is not even a remote concern for other. as for death , life expectency of city dwellers are on average 8 years higher than people from countryside so death from disease is big new for people in big city while it is just part of life for people from other parts of india. So different people sees same thing differently . a city dweller will view a pandamic from different angle than from a guy who passed majority of life in smaller city or village , this also shows why B SCHOOLS gives such high priority to diversity and why they admit people from economically extremely poor background by giving them high amount of scholarship. no doubt majority are from middle and upper in class in b school but this diversity ensures that everyone sees things from perspective of least represented class too.

it is just one of the 100s of other factor which affect life of millions of indians , for city dwellers it matters more as it affect their quality of life but for others it matters less as quality of their life is already too low to have any considerable effect from covid , best example is - city dwellers travel to new place to vacation and covid stopped that form of pleasure but for other they seldom travel and vacation is a word not in their dictionary, so interstate travel , intra state travel restriction or travel restriction to abroad donot affect them that much.

Just because I may or may not come from a poor background does not mean that you or anyone else has the right to discount my B school struggle and the time and monies that I have invested in this process. We all have made this choice to be a part of this and we cannot term not getting into a B school, a life or death situation irrespective of whichever background we come from. That is called failure. You win some. You lose some. Empathy exists a LOT more in the smaller towns and amongst the weaker sections of society too btw. So let’s not generalise your thoughts here. And also virus isn’t seeing who’s rich and who’s poor and infecting accordingly. WE are all in it together. No one from my house has been impacted by it but that does not mean I get selfish about this and make claims like the virus isn’t doing anything to the country and the peopld getting affected is a negligible number. Also, on the side - congrats on your US B school admit. A lot of people on this forum would have loved to be in a position where they had a single admit in a year like this so if it makes you feel any good, you’re definitely privileged that way. It’s just a matter of perspective.
