Beef Vindaloo

In a shocking survey conducted by one of the country’s leading media houses, 80% of MBA-minded Indian males said that they would prefer to lose their virginity before they turned 24 yrs to getting placed in any of the Indian Institutes of Management. The survey highlights the massive disparity between what society perceives to be the quintessential Indian dream to the reality of it all. What is even more shocking is the fact that the remaining 20% of the respondents felt that securing an IIM seat would enable to get whatever goal they want, including losing their virginity.

Tushar Dhingra was one of those polled in this survey. Dhingra comes from a middle-class family in Borivali where he leaves in an 11-member joint family. After successfully completing his Bachelor of Commerce from Mumbai’s prestigious KC College, he spent the next three years studying for his CAT and working in an internship with a multinational company. Today, Dhingra is poised to graduate with top honours from IIM Ahmedabad and has been approached by Merrill Lynch and Barclays. Dhingra is also one of the respondents who said that he would give it all up for losing his virginity. “You have to think about what is important in your life,” he said, “and for me, becoming a man comes before becoming rich.”

Dhingra is one of 28,000 surveyed who said that he is eager to get married so that he can enjoy a “night of passion.” He said that he is very happy to have the opportunity that very few Indians get but has increasingly become concerned of his priorities. “My friends in the Arts colleges are all having fun at Malhar,” he said, “what is the point of being able to retire at 30 years of age if one has not seen the real world.” These shocking comments have been echoed by each and every one of his fellow respondents. There is no word yet as to whether the IIMs would arrange a counselling service to deal with this sever depression amongst their students. Dhingra for one seems to think that counselling is not needed, “we just have to learn to talk to girls without wetting my pants.”
