Selective Amnesia There was a point to this. But I forgot.

IIPM and its bunch of fake, lewd bloggers

Rashmi Bansal is a long time blogger, a respected voice in the Blogosphere and is also editor of the magazine JAM. Jam is devoted to student issues and has a regular feature that analyses and reviews B-Schools. As part of that series, JAM published an expose on the Indian Institute of Planning and Management.
Now, anybody with half a brain can see through the fraud that is IIPM. Their sickeningly cluttered ads (too much text in an ad will ensure it doesn’t get read, which is a good thing really) claim campuses with a mix of old-english architecture and modern skyscrapers. Fucking lies. I was offered a seat in their Chennai campus, a blue and purple monstrosity that doesn’t have enough parking space for three bikes.

Needless to say, the dimwits at IIPM took to JAM Mag’s expose badly. They first threatened Gaurav Sabnis with a law-suit. And how! A e-mail that’s “judicially notarized and has been tagged to validate receipt and response” claiming damages to the tune of 125 crores. They didn’t stop at that. Being the dimwits they are, resorted to cheap name-calling and derogative commenting on Rashmi’s Blog. From fake blogs that didn’t exist y’day.

If it were any less serious, I would have had a hearty laugh at IIPM’s response. But dude! Leaving obscene and lewd comments on somebody’s blog is not cool! Definitely off-limits. Don’t they teach you that at school?
The blog-o-sphere is rankled. And pretty bad. Understandably so! Bloggers Charu, Kaps, Patrix, Harini and others have taken up the cudgels. And we will fight. Fight hard. And fair, which is not something IIPM understands.
