Sorry baby, I guess my blog just had to be in black !

Do I actually still like this colour? There was a time when all (ALL) my clothes were black. I guess it happens to every average looking guy. Well it happened to me.
No I did not create ths blog to write this ! So wait, do not run away
First let me tell you about my dilemma , it goes by the name of "job-or-mba". Is it a disease? Is it infectious? Do people tend to spread this at their homes( read : OFFICES ) .. In Chetan Bhagat's (he sure can write) words - If it is infectious, I am the perfect example of this infection.
It has been around 4 years (since my 3rd year at CSE , RVCE ) that I am trying to find a solution to this infection (pun - ).
Been working at Applied Materials for around 2 years now and probably figure in the top 10% of my class ( by salary ) & yet TRYING_MBA
typedef TRYING_MBA "write CAT , XAT , GMAT every now and then"
Let me try representing my problem in C++

----------LIFE STARTS HERE---------
ENGINEERING_SKILLS = 0; // class 12
do
{
if(! ENGINEERING_SKILLS)
ENGINEERING( & ENGINEERING_SKILLS); // did my engineering
if(ENGINEERING_SKILLS>1)
-- ENGINEERING_SKILLS ; //u know what I am talking - right?
keep TRYING_MBA; //TRYING is typedef'ed above
} while ( ! MBA_HAPPENS)

--------
I wonder when my MBA will happen - I have a 740 @ GMAT and 96 %-ile @ CAT - and I do hope that either NUS or NTU would want me to make their average students look better.
Meanwhile (haha , there is always a meanwhile loop in bangalore - aint it?) I am trying for a few positions which look beyond my reach, viz MICROSOFT, YAHOO, AMAZON.
Now - what if I had to choose between a)MICROSOFT / YAHOO and b) NTU MBA in TECHNOLOGY ?
If I were given such an option , what would I do?
I would take a 15 day vacation,cherish the moments - and toss a coin at the end of the 15th day.
I dont think any ENGINEER - MBA knows where he would have performed better. I mean, how can you? You only lead one life ! I guess everyone reaches their highest level of competency after they start freaking out and start saying things like "money is not that important in life"
I think I have spent so much time trying to figure out what to do , that I might actually be losing out on doing what I am supposed to do ( remember I have a pretty good job at AMAT - RefleXion LK ). Now let me tell you why I am losing interest here.
Consider a knowledge stack of APPLIED MATERIALS TOOLS and one of PROGRAMMING SKILLS. I am scared I have a diminishing (hairline and) PROGRAMMING SKILLS stack while I add to my AMAT TOOLS knowledge.
This is my reason of switching jobs , if i were to NOT DO AN MBA.
Meanwhile, i went to see this play with Sonam (and her friends). An adaptation of "5 . someone" @ ranga shankara and put together by EVAM and MADRAS PERFORMERS(or something similar) .It was good, not brilliant.
Incidentally, today is when 3.2 lac victims appeared for the IIT-JEE. Am I lucky not to have gone to IIT?
