23:59:59 The Journey Of Survival In The B-Schools of India - Sadashiv Pradhan

Overall, I liked this book because it involves a lot of drama and sensation inside an MBA college which kept me hooked until I completed reading it. Well, I would like to discuss the theme of the book.as why did our main character Jay chooses to go for an MBA…or did he run out of options for other careers.

Jay tried to be part of the B-school culture which means attending wet nights. Boys and girls drinking beyond limits; and afterwards retching here and there; and some guys taking advantage of the situation and take girls to their rooms for nasty purposes. Initially Jay tried to be there but later on he stopped going there. He found the B-school culture shallow; probably, he was too serious to gulp it down. Had I been at his place, I must have enjoyed to the core. Are MBA colleges full of so much happening?

I also remember the first chapter where Jay is busy working on his football blog, which has over 25K subscribers. I mean to say, he already has a bright future in Blogging. But still he chooses to do MBA or it happened by luck when he scored good percentile by mistake. There I found a social element, actually he had no mood of doing MBA, it was his friend Ravi who forced him for that. And irony is that Ravi himself does not go for MBA despite scoring around 99 percentile. Ravi promised to be there in Jay's college next year as his junior.but we see no return of that chap.

I love bringing some unusual facts and anecdotes from the novel. I loved this novel because I always wanted to do MBA but could not because of financial constraints. I am happy to see that MBA students party a lot, work really hard to get placed and I feel they deserve a good job after sacrificing a lot. The pressure inside a B-school must have been tremendous. I got to know through this book.
