00:00We are not students. We are wannabe consumers. Let's face it. You do not go to an IIM to be a

00:06great manager. You go to an IIM to be a great consumer. You want the best gadgets. You want

00:12to be there in New York or Chicago. You want to be an investment banker in London. And that's the

00:18reason why you go to an IIM or to an IIT or even to any other place. And that's also the reason

00:23why you write the UPSC. You don't want to become IAS so that you may serve the country or

00:28bestow your compassion on the less fortunate beings of this planet or your

00:33district. You are there so that now your lust for consumption can be further

00:39aroused and further ingratiated. Is that not so? What can the poor institution do?

00:44They can write Vidya Dadati Vinayam. You will say Vidya Dadati placement. And if Vidya

00:49does not Dadati placement, then Vidya is of no use.
