techie to MBA?

to be an MBA or not

There comes a point in life, when life is sailing smoothly.. take for example a point in life..  wherein I was billable, work seems fun (aka.. fun is what we are doing at work),  can enjoy evening getaways with  frdnz, weekends are there to relax, gang up with old pals.. life seemed so good...

but then since all good things must come to an end.. no sooner had I been indulging myself in the pleasure and then relishing the fact.. bade hoge to aish karna.. is coming true...., there comes the question from well wishers.. why dont u do an MBA? life mein kya socha hai beta? only graduation? 

and then suddenly.. the innocent career aspiration question blossoms into  questions like...
what about your future promotions? dont u wanna get involved in high flying(and world shaking?) deals and investments? what about ur market value at shaadi.com? what about "our" social status?
and ... and .... and .....
Suddenly, it seems the whole life so far has been worthless..the purpose of life starts to dawn on my sharp mind.. all these years... all the studies(at least officially) we have been doing... has one purpose.. go get an MBA.. and IIM waala MBA ho to aur aacha hai.. 

and lo!! now therez is no peace.. I cant pledge I WONT do an MBA and not be part of the crowd which collectively makes fool of itself and the world ...becuz.. then i think.. even if they are fools.. even if the MBA schools teach only theories and make expert out of theories.. at least these are the fools who rule the world and fool them..

Where in do we get a chance in life where we screw up the whole damn country.. and then we whine.. and get other ppl to fix it.. all the time.. still remaining in command... aah!! if only those projects in real life worked that way... 

I am impressed...the MBA propaganda really works...

an MBA for sake of an MBA... hmm.. i guess i will be joining the crowd.. some time soon.. to make a fool of myself and others.. and in return.. get highly paid for it...

U see... zamane ke saath chalna padta hai na...while in the land of fools... behave like one.. to sustain.. i guess...
