Young managers at crossroads

This is the tilte of a book written by one of IIMA prof Indira Parikh and is a part of one of the most famous course called ERI (exploration, role and identity) offered to 2nd year students.
The indian education never really allow you to pause for a moment and reflect on your past success, failures, your role in your family, society, relationships etc. It's totally geared working relentlessly towards more success without understanding what it really means to them. No wonder why we have such a huge rush for IIMs and IITs in India.
ERI is a 5 day course where we get to write an autobiography, stay far away from the city in a resort, share our experiences, expectations with other students and help us understand ourselves. Personally, I am really looking forward to this as I feel I am still emotionally and psychologically not well equipped for the roles the society expects out of me.
The book "Young Managers at Crossroads" narrates the experiences, disillusionment, dilemmas, success etc of alumni of IIMA in their relationships, career, society and family. For the first time I felt good that there were people who have gone through the same emotional turmoil and have still succeeded in life.
I will strongly recommend everyone to get a copy of this book and just read if you are on the verge of starting a professional career. Sometimes understanding yourself a lil better makes you more happy than getting an MBA at a place like IIMA :) It is atleast true for one person and that's me!
