Daily NiDz

We have always been laughing and checking out the Daily Dilbert’s corporate cartoons and believe me it made no sense to me till I was in collage but now I find them more interesting then the other comic strips on the news paper, like talk about Archies, poofh …. I thinks its too kiddish or maybe because it just suits the teenagers there are some others like Peanuts, Spiderman … Booringgggg

Coming back to Daily Dilbert… generally they pull hard on their Bosses and topics are like “You know My boss is so Dumb”

Lately in office I have been behaving like Dilbert.. Not just the cribbing part, also making fun on the accent, tone, talking, walking of my boss, it not that I am so close to him its just that ….. I am seated very closed to his desk!!! Sounds funny right? It’s a nightmare …..

“So with great power comes great responsibility” courtesy Spiderman, Some weeks earlier I had to be shifted to a different team other them my own team and I am seated at a place where me immediate manager, his manager and his Senior manager sits… cool so it’s a place which is usually quite unlike the whole floor and its kinda a spotlight people come to know when you move, take breaks and come back, when your late to work, absent and stuff.

It is a bizarre feeling to be seated at one place all day and keep working; I bet no one would ever like it but also because you are so close to the management you have a good chance to put an impression on the bosses and make them actually believe that you work harder than the rest … every heard of the teacher’s pet

Also you can get a sneek peek to the managerial steps, like if the next step is an implementation to check the attendance of the team or adherence of the people to the shift timings I will make sure I follow that from that day itself, so its kinda safe when you know something is about to come up and you are well prepared for that.

So being a close sitter there I am like a news reporter who will tell everyone about the next big plan which will be in the shell, but also that observing these people day in and day out is a tedious job, plus I have to make sure that I am on time, in place, at desk and stuff.

So basically that made me like a Daily Dilbert, talking about my bosses all the time and having a good laugh at the cost of their expenses, also to be the first to realize how stupid can someone be when they try to implement plans ...
so here comes "Daily NiDz"

Swine flu... disease or threat

I woke up today with the noise of the noisy street, children playing …. Aahhhh…. I hope I could do something about it; I rubbed my eyes & saw it was 6 pm … ohhhh I had to take the public transport to reach my office today, I switched on the TV to the most entertaining channel these dayz, no its not MTV its IBN7, Live India, Star news … your one stop destination to all gossips… made up scandals… scoops .. and ghost stories.. And for fill-ups in between some real time news, yes you guessed it it’s the “NEWZ Channel”

The topic for today was rather interesting “Swine flu”

As we know there have been around 6 deaths reported throughout country affected with swine flu, and most of them from Maharashtra. Pune has contributed most of it in the epidemic no doubt that the schools and stadiums and common public places which can be closed are closed. The bulletin covered some facts as to how can you get a virus, how can you prevent it from occurring you and that the swine flu in early stages is actually curable.

Aren’t we just too scared !!!!!

=======================================================
After putting off the box, I rushed to the station to catch the 7:48 pm train and as I walked along the road I spotted some people covering their faces with handkerchiefs while walking, I tried smelling hard like a puppy to check if there was any odor, there was not…. I walked towards the station and spotted people on bench wearing surgical masks and some with hanky’s and scarf on their nose and mouth, then it clicked me that this was because people were horrified being attacked by Swine flu also as they have no other option but to use the masks, as there is no precautionary medicine available, no vaccine developed
It was not just that day I travelled my way back from office next morning and again to office next evening, people with masks are increasing in number, its good that we are well aware that there is a deadly virus in air and prevention is better than cure… but trust me when you watch these people you might get so scared… I was reminded or scary flicks like The happening, Resident Evil, I am Legend .. of course there is no Will Smith here to save the word … alas !!!

Face the fact:

========================================
· I am not a great researcher but from what I have read and heard on TV and read thru the PPT floating in my mailbox daily… swine flu virus does not travel in train and buses so relax guys and treat it just like any other cough and cold virus.. like its said if you are scared of snake and if a non –poisonous snake bites you will die of the fear.

· Second that swine flu is curable if you see the doctor in time so if you develop the disease just visit get yourself checked and proper medication will heal the virus, people have been cured and are now leading normal lives

· Indian government has imported medicines to cure people and the medicines are to such amount that they can support about 1 billion people effected, swine flu cases will continue to occur until next summer. So take a chill pill guyz and necessary precautions ofcourse
May god be with you and protect you J

PGDBA or MBA that is the question

Finally after spending 2 years in Job I have decided to pursue a distance or a part time MBA, the decision was easy but the implementation is damn tough.
I want to do MBA but that's not it, there are some questions that are still unanswered and I would really really be thankful to so one who helps me with these.
These are my findings and of-course they can be incorrect, make a note that I am talking about distance MBA here

Things to keep in mind when you pursue the MBA:

1. Make sure about what degree you want to pursue PGDBA or MBA, if you ask me the difference I did ask that many people and every one told me that they are the same with respect to the course and syllabus
PGDBA means Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration and
MBA means Masters in Business Administration.
Which will clear you doubts here and how, PGBDA gives you a Diploma degree but a Post degree types which means if you have pursued BSC and then MSC you are a post graduate but if you have taken up BSC plus PGDBA you are still not a post graduate, you will still have to do MSC to complete your post graduation.
MBA gains a point here as discussed the name means a Masters degree so if you have done a BSC plus MBA you have done your masters degree and you will not have to do a MSC to get that into level


2. Second most important thing, just don’t do an MBA for the sake of doing it, make sure your university has proper affiliation
Now, that means the your university should be recognized as a valid and a proper guidance center, otherwise you might end up doing an expensive course which has no value in the market at the end, remember RAI University in Mumbai, it had the costliest courses and affiliation from some unknown place, people took educational loans from the university itself and all ended in a blunder when the university just closed, it not only took away the money but also some careers
So make sure the college has an affiliation from UGC which is University Grant Commission of India or some good university like the Pune University or Punjab University.
Note that Mumbai University also gives affiliation to collages for MBA but not for Distance MBA
3. The best place and the most valid degree of the Distance MBA can be perused through IGOU at New Delhi, which is Indra Gandhi Open University. It has training centers all over the world so that means you will not have to go to Delhi to pursue that.


Universities with a Twist:

• Wellinkar’s Insitute at Matunga
Nice learning and e-papers experience with the best in market guidance and cool campus.
TWIST: Gives you a PGDBA degree and is a DEEMED University so no affiliation

• DY Patil at Nerul, New Bombay
This gives you MBA with a lot of variety such as HR, BPO, Marketing etc
TWIST: This one is again a DEEMED university, DY Patil tried hard to gain reorganization form the Mumbai university but because it was based in Pune so then it made its own university as DY patil University and is still a Deemed university at the end

• ICFAI –
This is located in Ghatkoper in Mumbai, this institute offer you a MBA degree and from what I have heard you get a Dual MBA a well (Cute is doing her MBA from here)
TWIST: I am not sure but its recognized by some university in Allahabad or something, gotta dig into this

So what I found appropriate:

Symbiosis In Pune offers you a Part time MBA with a degree of PGDBA, the learning pattern is all e-learning, projects, presentations, and symbiosis has the most promising name in the industry today with PGDBA
IGOU- It’s a government and UGC recognized institute, has all India branches, really tough syllabus to pass through
IIM: IIM Ahmadabad will start distance learning courses shortly

Scoop’d up:

I would prefer not to go to the colleges that offer MBA degree from UK or other counties reorganization as they never got any reorganization from the India universities and has really less value in market same is the IIM in Kharghar who offers you an MBA program with a free laptop and stuff but its actually from Texas university
As mentioned above its entirely me and experience, you can comment and let me know if I have been wrong somewhere and I will correct it
