BOSS - one thing is for certain. Watever this Arindam guy pulled off is spectacular. I would like to commend him on his awesome spirit of wholesome cheating. :)
For the uninitiated - the scene is like this. Have u heard of IIPM - 'Dare to go beyond the IIMs' wala college ?? Arindam Choudhary ?? rings any bells?Gaurav - an Ex IIML guy (working for IBM) said some remarkably hurting things about IIPM and Arindam in his personal Blog. In the meantime, Rashmi Bansal, Editor in Chief - JAM MAG, was doign her own research on the IIPM tall claims of fundoo faculty and infrastructure - not to mention astounding salaries their students received. 
The Lid Blew off in a particular issue of JAM MAG, with the magazine doign full justice to their research. All the lies and the deceit was in the open. The material was in print - that meant that people read it and started thinking. Its not wise to make Indians think - cause chaos follows ! The IIPM guys were gunning for Gaurav and his Blog. Poor Big Blue (IBM) was roped into this and IIPM promised to burn down 100 notebooks if Gaurav didnt delete his blog !
heh heh .... good na ?
It gets better .... what's actually the most remarkable thing about this is that the sheer number of Bloggers who followed this fiasco and chased it till its death. Mr. Friedman might call this the 11th Flattener !The suit was filed against JAM MAG also - Rashmi of course bit the head off IIPM in court and I dont know if the case is settled or not - but the media aint following it no more !Gaurav - with his belief of 'freedom of speech' resigned from IBM so that IBM doesnt lose face and IIPM truth still stays out in the open. (I bet he wud have reconsidered if he wasnt from IIML !)
Well so end of the day - where does it leave our rolex-wearing-Jaguar-Driving-dashing-long-haired-incredible-education unaccountable-hunk, Mr. Arindam ? I think he must be missing his good ol days of bunking college and sleeping on the college fence ! Why did he get into this mess he must be thinking !
Now things to think about -
In the last 4-5 years IIPM (Arindam) must have made anywhere between 40-50 Crores (maybe more). This money belongs to students and hard working middle class fathers who have high hopes for their kids. Now while Arindam is on a shopping spree in London, who the hell is gonna get all this back to these unfortunate few who sold and mortgaged lands to get their sons good jobs ? I mean lets face it - the money is lost - live with it !
Unless of course our Government decides to intervene. But a few 'luncheons' on behalf of Arindam should get that in order too. This is what i love about our country - Every guy has a price. If u have the money - BOSS you RULE !
But one thing for sure - Telgi made an ass out of the Government. Harshad Mehta messed up the market. This guy took the creame of the pie. I mean he LITERALLY charged people for their dreams - awesome na ? I give him a 10 on 10 for this fantastic performance. Hope he can repeat something similar with the inmates in a jail somewhere in bihar !
All the best to IIPM batch of 2005 - YAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOO !
Oh i almost forgot - Gaurav - great work on becoming a superstar overnight. Sorry you had to quit your job for this - but what the hell ... eh ? so when do u close IIPM and start GAAND - Gaurav and Arindam's Amazing Dhamaka ..... do i see another Arindam in the making ..... hmmmm
'The Last four lines are in no way an opinion of the author - its a creation of his mind. If found guilty - Gaurav or Arindam can only accuse the mind and only the mind shall be brought to court in front of the judge. Should the mind choose not to respond, no Physical damage shall be brought on the author to 'make the mind talk' - if you know what i mean'
