It just got worse !!

The class of 2010 seems to be hitting the tipping point in terms of its timing. Credit Crunch, Madoff and now the unbelievable Satyam fiasco puts all of us in an extremely delicate situation. There are no easy answers to questions like Why MBA? and Why Now? for our batch. More importantly, one also has to look for answers to Where do you see yoursef X years from now?. I think this is a time to stop following patterns and do some real soul-searching and original thinking. We will all have a lot to sort out when we get together in April. And I believe the world will have its eyes set upon the paths all of us take when we pass out from ISB.
