Call of the Phoenix

Good Heavens !!! Its already 2 weeks and I haven't posted anything on Moonlovers. It seems as If time had warped into another dimension and I had been reduced to nothing but another piece of scum ravaged by its incorrigible reflexes. Well, its another story that was I insurmountably busy with the numerous pending assignments and project presentations that come free with an MBA programme. My endterm would be beginning the next week and I still have a lot of significantly trivial queries unanswered, comprehensibly incoherent concepts muddled.

In the meantime, the MISRA species, thanks to its indomitable spirits, has been able to clean up the mess implanted by the thy Highness COUGH in all its capacity. I would certainly take this joyous opportunity to enlighten the fact that my alma mater XIMB ranks as the Xth, sorry, 10th best B-school in India according to the COSMODE Business World survey undertaken in 2004. XIMB is an extremely well-groomed B-school with all the assets required to be at the top of the pinnacle, but suffers primarily due to the altruistic nature of the Jesuit society running it, who are too modest to initiate an aggressive advertising propaganda and partly due to an ineffectual location i.e. Bhubaneswar.But, when it comes to parameters like academic milieu and technology, it undoubtedly pips its more illustrious fraternity to the post. IIMs get the patronage from the government of India, XLRI has the backing of the TATAs, MDI spoofs its proximity to Delhi as intellectual richness, others bask in the glory of being situated in the Metros and rubbing shoulders with the top notch firms. Notwithstanding the innumerable hardships, XIMB has been able to carve a niche for itself by sheer diligence and competent grey matter. I unflinchingly proclaim that XIMB would soon be what Sirius (Dog Star) is to our galaxy i.e., the Brightest one or the Cynosure of all eyes. We, at XIMB, live by the parable Many Dream, Some Dare, We Achieve...
