10 signs that you've been in a B-school for too long

You know you've been at a B-school for too long when -
  1. Someone asks why you sold your old car on coming to Ahmedabad, and instead of "it wasn't getting used in my home town", your response is "I liquidated the non performing asset so that instead of bearing the holding cost of a constantly depreciating asset, I at least earn a risk free return"

  2. You call your relationship with institute a "bond", stay at institute as "maturity period" and start calling the class schedule for term as "Term Structure"

  3. You link seating arrangement in class to "Positioning" required to reap the benefits (Class Participation scores?)

  4. In Term 1 you used to open the Term Schedule to check what are the classes next day, in Term 2 you used to open the schedule to check which is the next class, but now you open the schedule to check which was the class that you just attended

  5. 70% of your body is still water, but the rest is caffeine now

  6. You measure your reading speed not in "words per minute" but in "cases per day"

  7. A random selection of names of some of your esteemed colleagues includes phocus, angrez, mamu, tali, bhompu, jalebi

  8. The following random questions on "contradictions prevailing in the world" have started troubling you
    • why is it that, of all the people around me, some are always on "dieting", while some want to"die eating"
    • why is it that, of all the people around me, some are "hard workers", while some "hardly work"
    • why is there so much emphasis on "pricing" if the world is moving towards "free" markets

  9. You know that the universe started with a "big bang" and you hope that your placement ends with a "big bank"

  10. You smiled on at least one of the above and thought "how true"

Food for thought: So why does education of business cross over to become a business of education?
