What is GOOGLE for MBA students !!

Hold it like you own IT..
ITS SOMETHING IF NOT  EVERYTHING !
  Especially for guys like us, who have been busy snoring while lecture is going on, who have often thrown out of the class, who have been sent to library for making noise inside the class room [ It happens in some MBA colleges too (If not some, in our college at least), Sad but still !!, who often choose to sit in the last rows to discuss something else which are far-far away from the actual class room discussions, who had never seen as someone genuine to give more than 90% of the internal marks, Who have never shown any interest towards the academic session of the college library, well GOOGLE is just like an encyclopedia.
   Assignments, seminars, PPTs, regarding the endless subjects of the world are just clicks away and it's completely free. I know this explanation would not create a WOW feeling. Reason behind this could be the repeated use [ Thats what I think]. Yet we find comfortableness and credibility with Google. Are we getting a single result for a search?. we are not. Results would pour when you hit the enter key. Google made us felt ease about submitting a half day assignment by supplying A-Z details of anything and everything of EVERYTHING.
 I don't think that the case of MCA, MSW and other students are different either. So here we are almost done with our so called MBA. Personally I would say, I have gone through my internal  cut off marks only because of GOOGLE. There were assignments waited till the previous night of the submission date. Who would help you in those nights? Those 25Kg Library books? We stupids hardly liked to go through the whole scrap for a 4 page assignment. Google was the only reliable remedy we had.
          Nobody's internal marks would not be uglier than me. Because something uglier than me is unimaginable. personally I must be obliged to GOOGLE as it has improved my internals to a certain extend. If it has helped you by providing a helping hand to get the cut off mark, you would never forget that EXTENSION OF HAND EH??. 

Sergey and Larry, we few idiots would be always thankful to you guys. Don't know how much help google gonna do in our careers. Lets see.
A huge round of applause to GOOGLE, LARRY AND SERGEY....

Thanks for your time.

STEVE left JOBS :(

 HEAVEN IS BLESSED NOW  (A humble tribute to Steve Jobs)
                       
              I don't think somebody in this world had ever made continuous impact on human life as Steve Jobs did. With a bitten apple Steve had been sweetly biting the hearts of zillions across the world. Mahathma Gandhi once told that his life is his message. When we put some more brain on that thought, we would not be surprised to find that  its common to everyone. But to me, apart form his life, Steve himself is a MESSAGE to all. Perhaps a mighty message. When I was in college [Under graduation], I hardly had heard about Steve. But I had to memorize his name as the founder of Apple, ever since we started going for business quiz and all during the MBA life. But Steve's name was one among the few which hung back in my memory during those days. Still I don't know the answer if you ask me why not others'? !!
          It took me another 5 months after joining MBA to google more about Apple. Still I was not very much aware of the man who later made one of my favorites in all trades. Had not my cousin presented me an apple iPod, I would not be doing anything to know about Steve and the company he has incorporated. Initial stage of googling stuck with downloading apple Safari, iTunes and later on the interest got shifted to the company and slowly yet lovingly to the great visionary and innovator of all time called STEVE JOBS !!
                       From there it has been a journey along with Steve and his innovations. Though I haven't bought any other Apple product, I could not miss Steve launching anything, perhaps I could not miss him presenting something, say a speech or kind of discussion and all. I loved the way he presented the things before the world. I watched him launching each possible product. Once, twice, thrice and I really don't know the count. Might have crossed 10 per a video. But the one which I would definitely cherishing and following again and again is nothing but his commencement address at The Stanford where he ended the talk with 'Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish'. Steve's discussion with Bill Gates is another one which has inspired me. All I want to say is that I enjoyed seeing him on the stage in that usual black jacket and the blue jean. When Steve started presenting something, I guess any lazy crowd in the world would want to listen him. That was STEVE, the one and only STEVE who always carried a JOB with his name as well as through out his life. 
               Once Steve had to get out of the company he incorporated and the management finally identified the value that Steve had and that inseparability brought back Steve again to the apple as its CEO. He had been fighting with Pancreatic Cancer and had to take 3 medical leaves to extend his life till he breathed his last breath at the age of 56.
                Steven. P. Jobs will be lived and relived through his innovations, products etc, as long as human race exists in the world. We all gonna miss you very badly Steve. As an innovator, as a Visionary, as a Leader and truly as an outstanding Human Being.
              Heaven is yet again blessed since you are there. Heard in stories that heaven is full of  flowers, fruits and all. Make Heaven a garden of apples and just BITE them all.
 'Rest In Peace'
