I have this irresistible urge to rave and rant about my ex-roomie today. It might take me a couple of posts, but trust me, it’ll be worth the read. And for all those who didn’t know I have a roomie- yes, I did have one, and a very handsome roomie indeed.He was a brilliant Guy,but I don't think I can stop by just calling him brilliant..He is above all that words..He was not just my room mate but lot more than that..A friend..A brother..A Guide..and what else you can call him..He was all to me...

B schools do not have any such requirement.Cut to the present. A large number of b schools now ask students to purchase a laptop when joining the course and simply provide wifi access. Libraries still exist, bu...
