Hmm! Do we expect this from an elite MBA grad? Do they learn in IIM's how to frame solutions or how to frame same problem in different way so it looks new every time? I can%u2019t believe they don%u2019t have the solution, I think they don%u2019t have the guts to come forward and do something! So they keep scribbling around from behind, same thing every time!

The thing is - that is not the intend of the column. Cant even in my wildest imagination can I imagine a humour article focussing on solutions of a social evil than focussing on teh evil itself.. So let the criticism be constructive.

Ok! whatever may be the intent (constructive/destructive), forgive me b'coz i can't digest the idea that it comes from an MBA grad who belongs to one of the most elite institution in the world. The place, where world hopes that tomorrow's entrepreneurs will be created, is not able to produce anything more than a satirical writer? Or perhaps there is something else wrong somewhere else? Because same could well have been done by the person who studied literature or journalism by his/her heart. Perhaps we are talking about right people falling at the wrong places or vice versa?

well sir, its more like following your heart and doing what you want to do. i mean is there a rule that "MBAs from the most elite institution in the country should not write a humour article in rediff"? I believe this guy has chucked a corporate job to take up writing full time..

I agree with you sir! totally! follow the heart! and there is no rule that an elite MBA grad cannot write satirical (not humor) articles in rediff. what makes me confused is that, is it only after doing an MBA that a person comes to know about what his heart says? or is it that without doing an MBA a person cannot do or know what his heart says? and had this article been written by 'Sidin Vadukut' (NOT an IIM-A grad) would it have appeared on rediff and read by all of us? when the cream of the milk tastes bitter (like satire) that means the milk has become sour.
we are talking about the same problem sir! but we are looking at it from different directions.

I fail to understand the reasoning behind your arguments. I also fail to understand what "being an MBA" has to do with this. Either I am too dumb or you are too intelligent.. Anyways im refraining from posting any further lest Mr Vadukut decides to write an article on this exchange of words :)
