I think NO Luck Now !!!

After my 2 encounters I am feeling that my Luck Account is depleted badly and that you will also agree after reading my experience with the IIM L.

Place : Dadar Mumbai
Day : Thu 07/03
Time : 2pm Panel 2

Rule of the game
1. We had asked to write a essay in 150 words on given topic.
2. Then is was followed by the 15 min GD and then PI.

TOPIC: The cost of living is increasing and the chance of living is decreasing.
About the Group

Frankly the whole discussion lack liveliness. I can blame is for the 2 people being absent so only 8 people in the group and no one is picking others points and coming with his/her own views. I wonder how the discussion went on middle class having resources but lacked happiness. Someone also tried talking on philosophical view....me chipped in 6-7 time and here are the points brought.

1. Cost of living ....cost to fulfill basic needs.
2. We have developing economies still the fruits of development is not getting distributed equally.
3. Given stats... India though growing at 8 % per annum still we have 25 percent on paper and 38 percent people below poverty line also put forward the digital divide issue.
4. Take ex of India and China.....India have democracy and China have communism still both government are lacking in the overall development front.....so apart from the government to support the reforms the corporate should chipped in......they should go to the bottom of the pyramid like ITC e-choupal.
5. Why prices increases....inflation....we need to take care it.
6. Quoted Rach and Amartya Sen's work underline the poverty is results of economic mismanagement and poor reforms so we need to work on this.
Though my points look strong still I was not able to steal the show due to the my unusual stammering articulation and the others not picking my points so they are not getting discussed......what ever it may be but I was not at my best here.......can rate 06/10.
