Stars Theory


This theory came out during one of the Lounge of 'o8 parties at ISB, and expectedly I was drunk when it was made. But when I actually remembered the theory the next morning I was actually impressed as it was actually damn cool. It goes like this ..

When one looks up at the sky on a clear night, what does one see? The stars shining bright across the sky. What did you miss? The obvious .. All the dark space in between the stars. Its very natural to look out for the stars in the sky and your line of sight hops from one star to the other. Now, these stars represent all the big names in the corporate world The BCG's, Mckinseys, ITC's, Blackstone etc where every MBA aspires to reach. Amidst all the focus on these stars he forgets the space in between and more importantly forgets his own ability .. his own light. If only once one can see the darkness in between and realize that he does not have to reach those stars but rather has the capability of giving birth to a new star. One can make a mark for himself and not run after all the jobs. Especially students at ISB who do have the talent and skill to give birth to a new star.

For once, just look up to see the darkness and visualize the birth of a star. Thats all.
