On the Ashoka WhatsApp group there is a discussion on the convocation speech and what kind of convocation speakers we should look for. Most people are posting videos of commencement speakers from US universities.
I posted the following message
👇
A random thought on convocation speeches.
We want a convocation speech that is slick. One that is delivered by a speaker in polished sophisticated English. With the right accent using the right words.
The convocation speaker in my graduating class at IIMA was V Krishnamurthy. Chairman of SAIL. He said all the right things but guess what - thirty four years out I don’t remember a word of what he said and I don’t think what he said made any difference to the lives of any of my classmates. That speech did not change anyone’s behaviour or influence any of the choices we made in our lives.
However I vividly remember remember the speech made by the chief guest at IIMA in the previous year. Being in the junior batch I was not invited to the event so along with several others from my class I watched the function from the first floor of the building on the side.
The chief guest was Dr Verghese Kurien Chairman NDDB.
He was not polite. He was downright rude. He was condescending. He was sarcastic. He was caustic. He was insulting. He spoke a few home truths to the graduating class. He taunted us.
He opened by congratulating the graduating class. He then said that this is not the Indian Institute of Management. This is the Indian Institute of Management for Shampoo Salesmen. And that the entire graduating class could now look forward to a life where they spend their time selling soap and shampoo. For that is the limit of our aspiration and ambition he said. We just wanted to work for Multinational Corporations peddling their wares to Indian consumers. Such a collosal waste of talent he called it. And throughout his speech he repeatedly used the term “shampoo salesmen” derisively to describe the graduates of IIMA.
He challenged us to do something more meaningful with our lives and try and make a difference.
But then he lamented that his words were going to fall on deaf ears and that we would take the safer option.
Now it requires some guts to go as a chief guest to a function and then make a 30 minute speech berating and insulting your hosts. But that was Dr. Verghese Kurien. In your face. Blunt. Calling a spade a spade.
By the end of it our ears were burning.
But guess which speech we remembered.
And Some of us did do something different.
The class of 1989 has produced the most number of entrepreneurs in the history of IIMA.
Sometimes warm fuzzy convocation speeches don’t make lasting impact.

@Meesho_Official I got this message in my whatsapp, is it sent by your company? The code belonged to Afghanistan. Looks duping. If not sent by your company, you should make a larger public aware on this fraud happening in the name of Meesho.

Congress won Karnataka by promising 5 things:
[1] GRUHA JYOTHI: 200 units of free electricity per month to every household.
[2] GRUHA LAKSHMI SCHEME: ₹2,000/month to every woman head of household.
[3] UCHITA PRAYANA: Free bus travel for all women across the state of Karnataka.
[4] YUVA NIDHI: ₹3,000/month for unemployed graduates & ₹1,500/month for unemployed diploma holders.
[5] ANNA BHAGYA: Free 10 kg of rice per person per month to BPL families.
This will cost 50,000 Crore.
Before you gasp, understand:
That Congress basically copied AAP's strategy from Delhi.
With more elections on the way, the freebie political strategy will become more extravagant. Politicians will make bigger and better promises.
If history teaches us anything, it is that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Someone always pays the tab.
In this case, that 'someone' is the one who is able to read and understand this tweet-- a middle class tax paying Indian, waiting for better days.
