Talking motivation is cheap, because supply exeeds demand

Motivation is the most widely exploited and abused noun in the B school Campus. "Motivation can help you scale the greatness...." , " Motivation is the savior for companies filing chapter 11" .. "Motivation differentiates men from boys".... and on and on..

We see this word popping out of the unprepared teachers and ,fillers or nervous punch liners, for students who are, jostled up from their day dreaming, to answer any random question/debate being discussed in class. Surprisingly there has been no element of surprise in these magic word laden , weary sentences ,being applauded all the time.

I had watched this word with mysticism, awestruck, as much as ( quoting Siddhu) " A kid in topless bar" , and could not fathom the hollowness ( read depth) of this impostor ( I mean the word " Motivation")

So, I am here at one of the most conflicting events in the GMBA history. After months and months of imposed laziness, ( we had holidays for more than 3 months now), the IT batch is being dictated to be caged in 4 walls ( and of course leaky stingy ceiling) of LC1 and LC2 for rigorous 10 hour/day class ..and this is the time when I am missing the word , I am used to hear so much, but never beleived in its credetials or even itz existence. Yes, you guessed it right... its the word "Motivation" . And as all staunchest of atheist ditch their camp in bad times to turn to "till then non existent--- GOD" , I am also loooking for the divine MOTIVATION.... to help me break from the shackles of laziness to the rigor possesed by the Finance Batch- who claim to be busy in classes 24 * 365 .

But however hard i might try to pray for it ...the "darshaan" of MOTIVATION has not been there ...and the wait continues ....
