MTV Roadies 8 - The truth of fake Suraj aka Nagesh

You’ve got to be blind not want to look beyond what you see on Roadies 8, and if you’re not curious, then Nagesh P. Mithun aka Suraj will make you so senti awwwwww. Okay to start with. Snapshot of the real Suraj aka Nagesh from MTV Roadies 8.




Suraj aka Nagesh of MTV Roadies 8 has been a student of the Indian Institute of Bartending. If this listing of Suraj aka Nagesh from MTV Roadies 8 in the students profile isn’t enough, then nothing will be. We’ve just resized the image but please feel free to check http://www.iibtindia.com/placement.html
Suraj aka Nagesh from MTV Roadies 8 boasts of the 9th student profile that’s featured on the institute website. If you look closely, Suraj aka Nagesh from MTV Roadies 8 has his eyebrow pierced and is quite a happening dude from Jalna, and quite hep for being broke.
That’s not all. Appears Suraj aka Nagesh of MTV Roadies 8 is successful at bartending. Suraj aka Nagesh of MTV Roadies 8. successfully enthralled students at the Bartending Seminar & Workshop held on Tuesday 27th July, 2010 for students of Merit Swiss Asian School of Hotel Management.



Common sense in the Suraj aka Nagesh P. Mithun from MTV Roadies 8 scenario: In 2010, Suraj aka Nagesh from MTV Roadies 8 should have been working in Mumbai as claimed by him. It was the time Suraj aka Nagesh took a train from Jalna to Mumbai and worked as a sweeper. His student profile at http://www.iibtindia.com/placement.html clearly mentions Suraj aka Nagesh from MTV Roadies 8. was working at a call center in Mumbai.



The workshop details which are being attained reveal the workshop was held in July 2010. As such, Suraj aka Nagesh from MTV Roadies 8 obviously did the course before that or during that period, so, Suraj aka Nagesh from MTV Roadies 8 was in Mumbai working at some call center even before 2010. Here’s the actual pdf supporting workshop details.
http://www.meritworldwide.com/newsletter/SPECTRUM-August%202010.pdf
The most elaborate IIBT course lasts a year and costs Rs. 55, 000 and the shortest one lasts 6 weeks and costs Rs. 9,000. Obviously he wouldn’t be heading a workshop after just 6 weeks, so, we assume Suraj aka Nagesh P. Mithun from MTV Roadies 8. was at IIBT for a year.



Roadies 8 is going to do brilliantly because this guy is so smart. What I would really like to know is whether the bald Raghu and Rajiv, and now seemingly silly Ranvijay, sit together and practice such a dumb script. MTV Roadies must do some homework because your show credibility suffers a blow if contestants are going t fool you so easily, or, I’m guessing all reality shows are scripted. This is your winning card this year but we have unearthed the truth about Suraj aka Nagesh P. Mithun from MTV Roadies 8. For everyone who was taken aback by Suraj aka Nagesh’s heart wrenching truth, don’t always believe reality tv, it’s reality tv for a certain reason. So much for a Hero Honda.

Ek bachpan ka zamana tha...

(Not by me, acchi lagi so posting)

Ek bachpan ka zamana tha,
Khushiyo ka khazana tha
chahat chand ko paane ki,
dil titli ka deewana tha...

khabar na thi kabhi subah ki,
aur na hi shaam ka thikana tha,
Thak haar ke aana school se,
Par khelne bhi jana tha...

Dadi ki kahani thi..
pariyo ka fasana tha..
baarish me kagaz ki naav thi,
har mausam suhana tha..

Har khel me saathi the,
Har rishta nibhana tha,
Gam ki jaban na hoti thi...
Na hi jakhmo ka paimana tha...

Rone ki wajah na thi,
Na hasne ka bahana tha,
Ab zindagi wo na rahi...


Jaisa BACHPAN KA ZAMANA THA...

The Truth about Highest Salaries


Have you ever marvelled at the salary packages being offered at B-Schools? Especially the crore plus salary packages which the media never stops talking about? The sceptic in you may have questioned the veracity of these astronomical starting salaries but there was no way to find out the truth. Many of the top rung management institutes have a policy of not revealing the highest salary package. IIM Ahmedabad followed a policy of neither admitting nor denying any story related to highest salary. The truth about highest salaries was always known on B-School campuses. To some extent IIM thus guilty of a collective silence across the campuses on the abuse of this piece of information.

Recently, a leading daily published an unverified report stating that an IIM Ahmedabad (IIMA) student had bagged a salary of more than 1.44 crore rupees. The news article soon became one of the most read news articles on the newspaper’s website. Stratospheric salaries equal highest readership, the equation seems very clear. The article was misleading and the IIMA Media Cell published a rejoinder in its blog stating the figure as incorrect. As to be expected, the rejoinder did not get as many reviews as the original report.

The publishing of the rejoinder in a blog was in some sense a fundamental yet silent shift. It signalled the unwillingness of the student body to be mute spectators when incorrect information is published. It signalled the use of a new media in connecting to the outside world. It signalled to the world that IIMA students are mature enough to disassociate themselves from a very flattering portrayal if the portrayal is not true.

The truth is that the readers are being fed garbage. The highest salary offered in a top rung management institute is typically a dollar denominated salary. The first distortion involves converting the dollar figure to a rupee amount. The two are not comparable as the dollar salary would not be earned in India but in a country with a substantially higher cost of living. The second distortion is to refrain from mentioning the assumptions underlying the bonus computations. Bonus component of a salary package is contingent on performance. Consider a firm which stipulates that performance linked bonus would range from a minimum 40 per cent to 300 per cent. Which number should be used for reporting – 40 or 300 or an average value? In our analysis many of the eye-popping highest salary figures can only be realised if the highest bonus rate is assumed. This is an overly optimistic scenario which would rarely materialise. Some firms may have a one-time signing bonus. Hence the highest salary figure may not be the same as a yearly salary as the signing bonus would not be applicable in subsequent years. The assumptions about bonus component are of course too mundane a detail to grace a front page report. Similarly, I am sure, readers would like to be spared the reporting of exchange rates at which the dollar-rupee conversion was done. Forget the fact that the bonus is likely to be paid, if at all, at a later date and hence subject to currency risk.

The highest domestic salary is not free from distortion too as it most likely involves substantial performance linked bonus. Additionally, what gets reported is the Cost to Company (CTC), a fuzzy word whose definition varies from one firm to another. The take home salary is sometimes a tiny fraction of the CTC. Not all firms may declare the compensation package or the breakup at the time the press release is circulated. Not all firms may want to declare compensation packages. Typically this happens for the PGPX programme where students have an average of more than ten years work experience and are placed in middle to senior level positions.

The story does not end with the reporting of highest salary. Soon one management institute is compared by the media to another based on the highest salary offered at the two campuses. Little attention is paid to the fact that there are may be no equivalence of underlying assumptions used for determining the highest salary offered between institutes and even from one batch to the next for the same institute. The highest salary is of course not representative of the entire batch. The fixation with this one figure in turn fuels an aspiration among youngsters to announce to the world they have arrived. What good is it to study in a business school if you did not get the highest salary on offer? It matters little what is the role on offer, the location concerned or the associated career path. Every job offer can now be safely measured and compared to another based on the salary component. The formal announcement of the highest salary figure and its associated prize winner is the final crowning glory of years of hard work. And in this mad rush to identify the jackpot winner the media loses sight of the fact that the campus placement is only the first step in an arduous process of facing challenges and building oneself for a leadership role. It is not the end of the journey, just the beginning.

Strangely, the media frenzy about highest salary figures at management institutes seems to have an India flavour. I ask the reader to find out from the internet the highest salary package at any elite US business school last year. You may be surprised at the lack of information. Most schools report median or average salaries and not highest salaries and foreign media houses do not seem to have developed a taste of investigative journalism in this field. Perhaps they have realised that there are far more important secrets to uncover than highest salaries at business schools.

The information on average salary has the same deficiencies as the highest salary figure. The only positive is that because of averaging the figure does not ‘belong’ to anyone. It has no claimant since few would want to be called ‘average’ I guess. It is a tolerable nuisance simply because of its impersonal nature. In contrast, the identification of the student receiving the highest salary can potentially expose the student to a lot of undesired attention from the underworld.

With the rise in costs of an MBA education, many students are forced to take educational loans for covering their expenses. Hence the salary package post an MBA education is an important determinant of the viability of investing two years of one’s life in an MBA education. My suggestion is to never base a decision to take an educational loan on the highest package but on the average salary figure, that too after making sizeable reductions from the CTC value to arrive at the take home salary. The highest salary figure thus serves no purpose of the reader except two. One is the harmless delusions of grandeur experienced by a section of current students and alumni of a management institute from the reflected glory of a non-achievement. The second is the potential abuse as an advertisement tool for luring unsuspecting MBA aspirants.

The overriding focus on jobs and salaries and payback periods takes one away from the idea of investing in an education for progress and development, both at an individual and at a societal level. If we need to change this situation we need to stop focussing on the highest salary figure as a first step. IIM Ahmedabad stopped reporting highest salary figures years ago. It report the average salary separately for domestic and international offers. There is little merit in comparing management institutes on any salary dimension of an outgoing batch, highest or average or some other measure of central tendency. If compare you must, compare the impact on society by an institute’s students and faculty. Unfortunately that is a much difficult proposition than a simple comparison of highest salary of the outgoing batch.
Major part of this report has been taken from the placement report of IIM-A.

Zindagi tham si gayi hai...

Ek aise mukaam par aa gaye hai,
ki sanse pyaar ke liye tadap si gayi hai,
na jaane kyu lagta hai Zindagi tham si gayi hai

Chahtain to bahut hai dil me,
par sab ki sab kahin ab dab si gayi hai,
na jaane kyu lagta hai Zindagi tham si gayi hai

Kabhi socha tha k ek din apna bana lenge unko,
jaan se bhi zyada chahenge unko,
par aisi har khawahish ki jaa nikal si gayi hai,
na jaane kyu lagta hai Zindagi tham si gayi hai

Kabhi has kar toot jaate the wo hamari baaho me,
ab wo har ek yaad sata si rahi hai,
na jaane kyu lagta hai Zindagi tham si gayi hai

Aaunga....is daur se me bhi baahar aaunga,
par pehle jaisa na reh paunga,
kyunki is daur me meri muskaan mar si gayi hai,
na jaane kyu.....na jaane kyu lagta hai Zindagi tham si gayi hai

The Gomteshwara...amazing experience.


April 24 2010
Welingkar is completed.
Hello Mom, How are you? Interview went fine.
Good. Our religious place Gomteshwara(Shrawanbelgola) is 150 kms away from Bangalore. You are going there tomorrow.
But mom...
You will get buses from Bangalore.
Mom, listen...mom...mom...

Okay Robin...Ready for another journey by BUS...???(Keep pills for removing vomiting tendency)

April 25 2010
Bag is pack. Everything set and done to leave. Bid Goodbye to friend. Oh nooooo....where is my cell? Hey Rajiv Bhaiya I forgot my cell in bedroom. Will you please pass it?
Bus Stand-
Enquired about the bus to Gomteshwara and found that THERE ARE NOT ANY BUSES TO GOMTESHWARA. Great. Now what?
Somehow managed to find out that there is a place called ChandraPatna, from there Gomteshwara is just 12 Kms away.
Okay it is already 06:00.
Bhaiya ChandraPatna pahuchne me kitna time legi bus? Aur wahan se kab tak milti hai buses to Gomteshwara?
ఇట్ విల్ తాకే ౩ హౌర్స్ తో రీచ్ తేరే. అండ్ టిల్ ౯ యు విల్ గెట్ బుసెస్ ఫ్రొం చంద్రపత్న
Hindi ya english me bol sakte hai aap?
Legi 3 ghanta, bus milegi chandrapatna 9:30 tak.
Ok I understood, Thanks.
Took risk and thought of reaching there at 9 and even half an hour late then also will get bus.

1 ticket to ChandraPatna...

Purchased some stuff to eat and most importantly those pills and pudina hara. Finally in bus, waited for it to get jampacked.
1 thing for sure, In south you will get so much greenery and umpteen coconut trees that a nature lover like me can forget the crying kids next to my ear, smell of some cheap hair oil and bus's diesel.

Bus was going in good speed so I was happy. BUT damn to Bangalore's traffic, it took whopping 45 minutes just to come out from Bangalore city.
Then a 15 minute halt in a Dhaba near a lot of coconut trees. In the meanwhile took some pics of greenery and the beautiful looking evening sky.
Its 9:15 now...
Bhaiya kab aayega ye ChandraPatna?
Bus babu 1-1:30 ghanta aur....
Whhhhaaaaaaaaaattttttttttt............so according to this guy with heavy typical South Indian Moustache and white lungi, I will reach CP at about 10:30????
Darn!!!Mere hi saath aisa kyu hota hai?????

ChandraPatna...

Finally there at 10:45. No electricity there. Some autos near bus stand, coconut trees, 2 stall of some eating material with small bulbs running from a battery, some guys in lungis and some more coconut trees.

Now auto is my only hope.
Bhaiya Gomteshwar ka kitna loge?
ಭಿಯ ಕನ್ನಡ ಮೇ ಬೋಲಿಯೇ
Abe...thodi bahut hindi ya english aati hai aapko?
Gomteshwara 130
12 kms k 130??? Are you crazy?

Second auto-
Gomteshwara (This time I just told the name of the place because they will not understand the other things in hindi or english)
150
Ye lo...wo 130 ye 150...very nice.
Tried to bargain by some hand actions. Fortunately he understood and said
ಮಿನಿಮುಂ ಇಸ್ 120. ನಾಟ್ ಲೆಸ್ ತಂ ಥಟ್
120 for 12 kms? I am not gonna pay this much.

Went to bus stand again and asked the canteen owner that they are asking this much. He sent a guy with me to bargain with those kannada speaking autowalas.

Guy from canteen-ವೈ ಅರೆ ಯೌ ಅಸ್ಕಿಂಗ್ ದಿಸ್ ಮುಚ್ ?
Autowala-ದಿಸ್ ಇಸ್ ನೈಟ್ ಅಂಡ್ ದಿಸ್ ಇಸ್ ಸುಇತಬ್ಲೆ
Guy from canteen-ನೋ ದಿಸ್ ಇಸ್ ನಾಟ್ ಫೈರ್ ಫಾರ್ ಗೊಮ್ತೆಶ್ವರ ದಿಸ್ ಇಸ್ ನಾಟ್ ಇದೆಅಲ್
Autowala-ಇ'ಲ್ ತಕೆ ದಿಸ್ ಮುಚ್ ಓನ್ಲಿ
ME- What the fuck... Its already 11:15 and I don't even know kannada.
This is not gonna end. It is wise to settle on a neutral amount. Took out a 50 rupees and showed to autowala. After more debate he agreed.

At 11:35 was finally at Gomteshwara. Booked room. Was this much tired that even ignored the IPL final between MI and CSK which everyone was watching in booking office.
Attendent- Take a chair and enjoy match.
Just show me my room.
Attendent-Ok...this way.

Finally on bed at about 11:55. Messaged bhaiya that I reached here. (Couldn't call coz of 5 paise balance in cell...hehe)
It was almost forest area and room was between that trees n all. Different kinda sounds of insects n all started coming. I thought so ja Robin, you have to get up at 6 for climbing mountain.
By the way there was 2 beds in that room. They said they don't have single bed room. Pheewww...the second bed remained vacant all the night.

April 26 2010
06:00 AM
Cell's alarm rang. Turned it off. Again rang at 06:15 AM. Again the same treatment.
Fianlly at 06:30 left the bed.
It was very nice morning. Sun rays were looking very nice, room between trees, birds were chirping. I said to myself If you are done with enjoying nature's beauty then Should we start the next part of out journey i.e. climbing mountain? The answer was Yes... Purchased a Coconut(Shriphal) to put on the feet of god.

Lots of ladies, children, few men were on their way to climb and go see god (or should I say the statue of god) who was at the top of the mountain.
Very steep stairs, I must say. Ladies were like OH MY GOD....and started taking rest by sitting on the stairs. I am not superman so was not exception and took rest after climbing almost half of the mountain.

Temples were coming on my way. Almost all were about 1000 years old. Some of were looking very beautiful and looking like temples of Egypt.
Finally after some time at the top where I saw the big and great statue of Bahubali Bhagwan. It was amazing to see and worship there.
The tall statue of Bahubali Bhagwan was so amazing that it was difficult to put your eyes off from it. Sun rays were touching the feet of Bahubali Bhagwan and was looking like they were also worshipping the god.
I was feeling fortunate that mom sent me here. It was so relaxing, so soothing, so amazing there that all the tiredness of yesterday went away. I think that's why people come here not just from India but from all over the world irrespective of hurdles of journey and all.
And why just here you will get this kinda soothing and relaxing experience everywhere where you find god. It may be Vaishno Devi, It may be Makka Madina, It may be Gurudwara, It may be Church OR if God is in your heart then feel it. You will get the experience that is unable to express in words.

After sitting there for about half an hour and donating some money I moved on coz I wanted to catch bus to that ChandraPatna and from there to Bangalore asap, coz I had my train from Bangalore at 06:20 PM.
After coming down ate Sambhar Vada on Banana Leaf, that was one time experience and was awesome. Wanted to make some calls, but as I told earlier 5 paise balance and that too became 4 paisa after messaging bhaiya. Searched for Reliance vouchers there but all shops were like the relatives of Sunil Mittal and were carrying only vouchers of Airtel. So with my last few paisas in balance messaged my friend in Jabalpur to recharge my cell. Got balance in next 10 mins.
It is 1:00 PM already and have to catch bus so that I reach Bangalore atleast by 5:00.

All in all it was great experience coming here at ChandraPatna where I think I was the only Hindi speaker, bargaining at 11:30 at night with kannada speaking fellows, staying in a room between forest, and most importantly get to see and worship Bahubali Bhagwan.

Great campus, glasses, glasses and more glasses...also colourful.
Security guard checked my Admit Card then I was asked to wait in waiting area (a classroom kinda room). There were two projectors in those some motivational clip was playing then a video of Welingkar's campus including toilet and commode...I couldn't control my smile at that time.
We were given a packet containing 1 Bun with Jam in middle, 1 veg puff, 2 cookies, 1 frooty, 1 half litre water bottle, 1 diary and 1 pencil...hmm good, Mogembo khush hua.

After some time a senior called for Registration.
Then we went to another glassy room where there were 2-3 Alumni es, 2 seniors to give presentation and 2-3 faculty members present. They started presentation totally mugged up, the female senior was not looking well prepared and was doing aaaa,,,ummmmm... I was so tired after that Journey and due to last night (which I didn't mention) so I yawned once and that female senior saw and started giggling and in return I also giggled. Placement committee secretary said that this year average placement was 6.6 Lakhs, and highest was 16 Lakhs and International highest was 49 Lakhs. Then QA session.
Then straight to GD room. 12 participants and 3 panel members.
Topic was "India is loosing its cultural values".
They gave us 1 minute to think and then we started. 1 guy tried to be the leader of the group by saying that we have 20 minuted so we all should listen to each other carefully and not cut short each other.(I thought if not cut short then what the fu*k is GD?). Ignoring our SELF MADE LEADER all started discussing. But at the end we didn't reached at the conclusion. Then panel members said to summerize one by one in 30-45 secs.
One guy when crossed 1 minute then panel said that ok stop, he said no sir 1 minute I wanna add one more example, they again said you crossed your time limit, he again said no sir I wanna add one more point. Then panel said Ok. Add.

Then we went to another room(seemed like conference room)
One by one seniors called us for Interview.
My panel was I think super cool. 1 Gentleman and 1 Mam.

All the Best to all of you.

Keep Smiling. :)

Waited in TAPMI Waiting hall. 15-20 human beings were already there waiting for being grilled. I was the new lamb in the herd. Found some familiar faces there though dunno who were they and where I met them but treated like oh you are the only my best friend here. Passed the formal smile first then started talking. Candidates from 8:30 batch were still waiting for there Dean's Interview. At about 11:45 Mr.Natarajan came (Faculty in TAPMI for last 11 long years.) and gave the extra little intro of the selection process. Then divided the whole group of students into 2. Other group went to another floor for Case Study.

Hurdle 1- Case Study(In brief)

Mr.Smith is a very good banker and doing good. His manager gave him promotion and shifted him to another branch as a branch manager. He warned Smith that there you will meet a person named some Mr.D who is working with bank since last 31 years and he is still asst.Manager and he want that position only. He is very important fot bank as he created many customers for bank, and knows that area very good also he is from the same ethnic community which is in majority there so he has support of that also. BUT he is dogmatic in his approach, bit angry, don't like anybody interfering in his work. So be careful. Smith found him the same after joining that branch. Once he even said to Smith that don't interfere in my work. Smith was wondering that whether he should remain silent and take work ex of 2-3 years and move or interfere?

There were 3 questions-
1. What is the role of age, seniority, experience, community and all in this particular case?
2. If you were at Smith's position what would be your next step?
3. Don't remember exactly but about some organisational behaviour.

Just 10 mins to read and answer. Answered first 2.

Me-(Yaar again economics???) Told in my words.
D-No, tell me the exact wordings of that Law.
Me- Sorry Sir I don't remember the exact wordings. I can only tell in my words right now.
D-Do you have any questions for me?
Me- Yes. I am unable to find the responsibilities the students of previous batch of TAPMI got in companies they got placed. Will you please give me a little info regarding this?
D- Do any other B-School provide this info?
Me-No
D-We also don't provide.
Me-Thank You Sir.

Overall Good ex. Expecting something positive.
All the best to all.

Keep Smiling.... :)
