Disastrous fuck up last night. Bikram and I picked up Mom from the station, and while driving back she told me about how every tom-dick-and-harry in A.P is going abroad for an MS. I don't what I was thinking; I opened my loud gob and started ranting about these useless engineering colleges and how these guys go for an MS to the useless universities of North America. And after that I don't know how I went on about my MBA, and how I will do it from a good U.S B-school, and my grand plans and how successful I will be and what not. Basically it was a session of pan-IIT-gloating and non-IIT-bashing, which was totally uncalled for, especially in the presence of Bikram, who all throughout, maintained a studied and matured silence. Fact of the matter is, Bikram is from a non-IIT engineering college, and must have obviously felt hurt at the non-IIT-engineering bashing I was engaging myself in. Disastrous. Appalling.

Facts:
1) I am an asshole.
2) IIT != great
3) non-IIT != useless

Lessons learned:
1) Must remember to be more discreet; gotta keep my loud mouth shut.
2) Humility and respect for others.
