Ramblings on Chetan Bhagat



Preface : In a recent twitter controversy, Chetan Bhagat pointed out at the educational level of Mr. Manmohan Singh and the utter waste of talent he does. On that, a guy lashed out at chetan bhagat, claiming that despite of having the best degree in the country(IIM/A), CB writes horrible love stories, which to an extent I agree.

Nothing to do with CB or MMS.

I was in middle of a conversation about a prose written by my friend, and I sparked out this example, and all hell broke loose. The sentiments were touched! CB followed his passion, CB did what he wanted, CB this, CB that.. and I was like OK so did MMS. It was unfortunate that the current generation reads more than listening to the Vidhan Sabha :). The debate ran for almost 30 minutes of gibberish.

In the interim we realized that education can just provide means to fuel your passion. It is your passion that guides you to the path you choose. Education guides. Its an alibi.

You be a doctor and act - Ken Jeong (did u die?)
You be a Chartered accountant and model / act - Bipasha Basu
You be a 12th grader and rule the HRD - Smriti Irani (2014)
You be a harvard/stanford/oxford/IIT/or any dropout and you rule - FB, Dell, MS, and many more

A dull evening on Sunday, activated by a hot debate which I won. 

Cheers!
