Mahabharata

sorry for being off the radar! i know i promised to do this regularly but i have the very legitimate excuse of di's shaadi happening. just two days away now.

its funny, even though she's a cousin i've always been a lot more closer to her than i have been with my closest of friends. we've always been so tight, makes me sad that she's moving so far. at the same time i'm so glad she's got someone as nice as Pradeep 'jiju'  to share her life with. he's a total sweetheart :)

my debates with neetu bhaiya have quickly escalated to a battle of epic magnitude. uji's landing up and siding with bhaiya didnt really help the cause. somehow uji has managed to bring the debate to focus more on the demerits of joining an organization like Amity over his current obsession- the NIIT University.

i mean, we all know of NIIT. almost everyone around has had some friend or relative who has done a course at NIIT at some point of time. but does that make them qualified to suddenly set sail for courses as complex as b.tech and m.tech?

newspapers these days are filled with ads which claim to provide the same, and have affiliations to some university somewhere. how many of those scores of students passing out make it in the outside world? Amity has, over the years a proven track record of how well their students are doing. you can't take away that but just sweeping it with the same paintbrush.

yes it's a private institution, and of course there objective is to make money...whats wrong in that? as long as they provide me with quality education which acts as a foundation for my career, im absolutely ok with spending that kind of money (ah well...my dad is :P)

uji posed a challenge to me that he's going to convert me and in the end we'll end up going to the same university...i took him up on it based solely on the confidence of being right (and modest ;) )

neetu bhaiya remained on his IIT trip but leaned more towards uji's point of view after hearing his sermon on the merits of the place!!! neither of them had an answer to my simple question- after passing out of amity, a great advantage which i will have is the amity alumni network already out there, like bhaiyas IITians....what would uji have?

write in and join the debate!!!
