This one time, I was going to travel by train. I imagined what if my spectacles magically slid off my nose and end up on the train tracks while I try to board the train. Well.... The next day.. while I was sitting by the window, I sneezed. Yes it happened. My spectacles got swooped off my face in a jiffy. I have double digit myopia and that was the only pair of eye glasses I had. Spent about 3 weeks with only contact lens till my dad got me a new pair. I was shifting to a hostel in a different place. It was really hard at night because we had common bath room and I was kinda blind the whole time.

Will an MBA destroy your life or make it better?

Overview: Everyone around me, be it old school friends to the people in the bangalore startup ecosystem are planning to or already in the process of doing an MBA. What is happening: Most of the people I know, either are going for a tier 1 MBA in India or colleges like “Carnegie Mellon”/ “INSEAD”/ “NUS” these are really good places. Why am I concerned: I dont have great acade, GEM candidate so I have decided to not pursue CAT at all, and MBA outside India is too expensive. I feel like my job and career are going fine with 4 years of professional experience I am making 25LPA in marketing. I am not keen on doing an MBA but I dont want to regret later. I consider myself to be fairly smart but what happens when I am competing with people who have great brand names on their resume and are actually smart. People on GV with more experience, have you gone through this struggle? Sidenote: I also have friends who have cleared IIM ABC, ISB and not gone, because they just wanted the admit letter. Which is brave lol!

Overthinking

Hello viners, I'm in my mid 20s. Whenever a random small thing happens to me or my body, I start googling it. Then self diagnosing, then always some type of cancer. Overthinking, stress, panic attacks. I am not able to focus on my work. Daily life has worsened. Please give tips on how to overcome this.

Software Engineering vs MBA

I know it's an apple-to-orange comparison but which of these two, according to you, leads to a better career*? By a better career I mean a role that pays better, has better chances to increase that pay, better opportunities to have an impact, better WLB, better peer group, etc *Let's assume we're talking about a respectable level of competency in either of these fields (a good engineer vs a good MBA)

How to find a hubby?

I have been online on a lot of sites (shaadi.com, Bharatmatrimony etc) for 2 years now but it’s been really hard to get a guy. There have not been many expectations, just a decently well educated guy who can talk with respect to ladies (I find it really hard to get guys of the latter, on these sites) Those who were successful in arranged marriage, how did you do it? Any tips please. Should I pay some matchmakers? Suggestions are welcome.
