hazaron khwahishein aisi ke har khwaish pe dum nikle
bahut nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhi kam nikle
nikalna khuld (hell or heaven) se aadam ka sunte aaye hain lekin
bahut be-aabroo ho kar tere kunche se hum nikle...

Mohabbat mein nahi hai fark jeene aur marne ka
usi ko dekh kar jeete hain jis kaafir ( bewafa) pe dum nikle...

kahan maikhane ka darwaza galib aur kahan wayiz (preacher)
par itna jaante hain kal wo jaata tha ke hum nikle.

Hazaaron khwaishein aisi ke har khwaish pe dum nikle...

MBA Insider businessweek now free?

I used to visit Business Week website & read a lot b-school admission & MBA application & GMAT related content.
However their cream content (read: best of businessweek bschool admissions section) was available only to premium/paid subscribers. & I used to stuck just there as I never subscribed to paid content.  It was (is) known as MBA insider. It's an online magazine from BusinessWeek which you need to subscribe on yearly basis with 25-30 $. (Sorry, I dont remember the exact amount../ )  & now after  a long time when I visited businessweek.com I could browse the site freely without any subscription notice. This is strange. Have they made "MBA insider" free/open to all? Some time back I discovered their forums became open to non-members. thinking that, it could be an obvious move. But there's a twist. I asked my senior at U.S. to have paid subscription of MBA insider for me. Funny thing is when I visited Business Week, I had prepared myself to start paid subscription but they dont make me pay now!! 
I never used the password given by my friend from America but still been able to browse the premium content.  Now I'm confused & therefore I am making this post. Am I the only one (luck>?) who got this access? or all MBA aspirants from India get free access & our brothers from United States have to pay? Or it's free for everyone? 
In that case, why I dont see the subscription request page?
Do you know the url? if yes Please send  it to me alongwith snapshot... as url I know dont show any payment option. neither it blocks me from seeing premium content...
Thats funny.  I am tempted to say "who cares" but .. BusinessWeek are you listening?

Initiating MBA applicants thread exclusively for Indian IT guys

I am looking for the right picture which could convey my message, which is what delaying this thread from its birth. It has made exclusively for Indian IT Males, one of the largest pool of MBA applicants each year who apply to various business schools. The trouble with these fellow applicants is their average GMAT score is higher than their counterparts. Yet they are so out-numbered than any other group of applicants that they are considered to be commons and hence their higher GMAT score doesn't matter anymore.

Remember your high GMAT score can make you competitive and keep you in the race but lower GMAT score, especially for this group of applicants is detrimental & devastating for their application. Some times I think for Indian IT Males, higher GMAT score is a must, even though, ironically, it doesn't matter to their profiles. Sorry if I confused you by that, you can post your doubts in that thread. Unfortunately I am not available since tomorrow & I am thus initiating thread and leaving it to our members J who would further take it. I'll be back in 12 days by 22nd September 2008.

…Till then All the best for application. I know it's coming close…
PS : I think I'll start the thread anyways without uploading a picture. Although I still believe that adding a picture would convey my message even more clearly I think it can be added later…

Scholarships & Financial aid for MBA studies

These days I am looking out for all scholarships fellowship and financial aid for MBA studies. As promised earlier I'll make it available for public & probably host it on beat The GMAT Forums or on del.icio.us.

I checked delicious bookmarking tool after quite long time & I am surprised to see the new looks of the site. It's revamped.

I will check all b-schools website, all blogs. admission consultants blogs, MBA related forums scholarship forums I will gulp whatever information I get. & compile a list of various scholarship fellowship or financial aids available for MBA studies.

Each & all links will be hand-picked. I'll also a small review about the scholarship or whatever on offering. I think to do this delicious is the best & effective tool. Stay tuned & keep eye on MBA scholarship bookmarks link. haha, right now I have just added my couple of blogs for testing. Soon the it'll be flooding. (still I'll make sure to post quality content)

I am bit confuse as to where & how I should publish this information. If you have any opinion please drop me a comment or post a reply at suggestion & feedback thread at BTG forums.

Veritas Prep MBA fast track scholarship hosted by Beat The GMAT

We have yet another scholarship for MBA aspirants & GMAT students from Beat the GMAT. Unlike earlier scholarships conducted by beatTheGMAT.com it has only one sponsor. This time the scholarship sponsored by Veritas Prep & named it Veritas Prep MBA fast track scholarship. However award structure remained same. There will be five winners, each winner will get $250 cash for GMAT application. I guess first three winners will get help beyond GMAT preparation. Much like the same, application essay and selection strategy also remain the same. Questions include: Why do you deserve this scholarship? (answer in 500 words) Why do you want to go to business school? (answer in 300 words) & OPTIONAL: Are there any special circumstances you want us to consider? Examples: financial need (proof of financial need highly encouraged, e.g. latest pay stub), major life events, etc. (300 words limit) Mostly scholarship application essays tend to be need base oriented. So I would emphasis more on that topic. For any queries, feel free to shoot them here: http://www.beatthegmat.com/the-beat-the-gmat-veritas-prep-mba-fast-track-scholarship-f26.html
