Just Thinking

Every MBA course has a 2 or more months of industrial intern-ship embedded in it or at least mine was. This is the sole reason why I came in contact with e-Zest Solutions. The whole intern-ship thing started to take shape during the early summer of this year i.e 2014. Intern-ship is generally not taken that seriously and is just a matter of the completion certificate for few, but I was very much interested in the whole experience. The first interview that I gave was of KPIT and I was not selected. Somewhere at the back of my mind I decided that I needed to go in an IT company for the intern-ship.So, the next company I applied for was e-Zest Solutions Ltd. Frankly speaking, I had never heard of the company but as long as it was Pune and IT, I was fine.4 people were called for the interview and I alone got selected.

Criticism is generally of two types, positive and negative. But this definition is only limited to the way it is intended. The effect though of any criticism is almost the same in both cases, which is sadness, feeling low, depression, some might even feel agitated, even rage at some extent. Criticism normally puts the criticized off balance. This shows that criticism might not hold great value for the criticizer but effects immensely to the criticized, however small the criticism might be.

I am calling it a luxury for one more reason; the act of criticism is enjoyed by most of the critics. The authority to criticize generally gives them a sense of power over the criticized. The point I want to make here is the current ratio of appreciations to criticism around the world is dropping at a very huge rate. Let’s not get into the state where the criticism will be done, just for the p...
