Shah Rukh Khan has signed a 3 year deal with IIPM to be the Quiz Master for their B.School Quiz to be held as part of Amaze,their annual B.School Festival at their Delhi campus.This is certainly big news especially in the B.School circle. Source

    This has become a site for the gossipmongers. We are headed the Naachgaana way.

  2. @ Tanul- I’m very disappointed with your comment.Can you tell me whats the gossip over here?I’m the last person to put up any gossip stuff on PFC.You dont think this news is worthy of being on Qwiki- cool, but dont call it gossip.Have you ever attended any B.School fest in India?This is certainly a big ticket event.
    And I just wished to point out the same, thats why we have Qwiki I guess.

    So what if it is a big ticket event? It is nowhere related to cinema in any form or the other. Next, we would QWikiz on the lines of – ‘Shahrukh Khan shaked a leg on Lux-Me Mittal’s sautela son’s wedding’. That would be a big ticketing event, no? Have you attended Lux-Me Mittal’s beta ka wedding? No? I guessed so. At that time we didn’t have Qwikis either.

  4. Well ok the event is a non cinema event, I agree.
    But I think SRK and Arindam Chaudhuri of Planman
    ( who run IIPM ) are names concerned with cinema for sure.In case you dont know,Planman has produced movies like Rok Sako To Rok Lo ,
    The Last Lear,Faltu (Bengali),Dosar (Bengali).
    And its a shame if you are comparing a B.School quiz with a big ticket wedding, probably for you both are on the same level.But you are insulting the sensibilities of numerous quizzers by doing so.Saying this I rest my case here.

    sensibilities of B school quizzers…??? no true quizzers worth his salt would be caught dead in any event hosted by that diploma mill called IIPM.
    In any case, the poster has a very poor argument and a long long shot connecting this piece of non-news to cinema.

  6. @ Kartik

    All of us are aware about the diploma mill called IIPM- no doubts about that.I am certainly no fan of Arindam Chudhuri or IIPM.But what surprises me is that they have managed to put in so much money in a B.School quiz during times of recession & thats the reason I felt this news needed to be known.And I spoke about quizzers in general & not about B.School quizzers here.

    Looks like anything related to SRK needs to be published in a purely cinema oriented website. By the same note, the poster could have posted what SRK did during the IPL as well. This piece of information is totally out of place. May be there are lot of people who want to know what SRK is doing everyday, IMHO that should be done somewhere else

    Sexy. So, even if Arindam and Shah Rukh use Wi-fi enabled Toothbrush, it should warrant a space in QWiki.
    “Saying this I rest my case here.”
    ..
    You better. You might have a penchant of rebuttal garbed in horrendous self defence. You might reconsider it this time around. Oh Yeah!

    hehehe.. LOL..
    Dude Sethu, I guess you take that ‘You need to post at least once in a month to keep your membership on PFC alive’ reminder too seriously. Chill brother. Stop being so compulsive.. or did I mean ‘impulsive’.. Whatever works for you :)

  10. SRK has a history of taking money and doing ads for dubious companies. Anybody remember “Home Trade – Life means more”.
    I would just add IIPM to the list. IIPM is a typical example of corruption in the media. They pay lakhs for full page ads in major newspapers and therefore not one newspaper tries to check the veracity of the content of their ads. “Bigger and better than IIM with faculty from Harward …”.

    Hrithik and Sachin also had similar ads for Home Trade.

  12. @ Tanul Thakur,Kartik,Vasu,Sreehari,Agnostic Indian,Sourav and everybody else who has read this/will be reading this hereafter-

    I sincerely apologise for having posted this here and hurt your sensibilities.The intention was never to glorify SRK or IIPM.I felt this was just an event which people are not aware of and thats all.

    @ Sreehari- thanks for the advice, this was certainly not an attempt to ” keep my membership on PFC alive”.

    Some Universal truths:

    IIPM Sucks!!!

    SRK Rocks!!!

    Sethu is amongst the best authors at PFC. He doesn’t needs to post a Qwiki to keep his membership alive.

    But, This post is 110% OUT OF PLACE!!!

    I fail to understand why such hue and cry over trivial issue.The subject mentioned is not Gossip but fact for sure.

    Srk being a movie star, probably one of the biggest,it may be important event, considering it is first time a bollywood actor is hosting B-school quiz , may be it also reflects a sad state of our private education system.

    Our industry is know for Naach gaana.

    come on guys, give sethu a break.
    also, i dont think ‘qwiki’ counts are considered to for keeping authorship alive, its the main article/posts that count. anyways…

    I also second Shahji.

    This news of SRK taking up IIPM quiz has flashed over all news channels also. It shows the money power of IIPM. And I dont see any issues in posting such qwiki’s (relevant qwiki’s much better though)

  18. Being a Quizzard myself, i can say for sure, IIPM’s Quiz has zilch value in the Quizzing fraternity, even among the Biz Quizzers.
    ..
    As for Arindam Chaudhuri & IIPM, one of the biggest hucksters and fraudsters in B School Education. Pretty good at making suckers out of people.
    ..
    Dont understand what makes SRK keep backing such losers be it Buchanan or Arindam.

  19. @ Ratnakar-

    bang on,you are certainly right about both IIPM & Arindam Chaudhuri.I feel the same too.I am sure signing SRK for this was only to grab more eyeballs for the event.As it is the kind of money that they spend on the print media to advertise IIPM is a big eye sore.Its a surprise how they are able to get away with it for so long.

    Ok. I take these back. This comment borders on a personal attack, which is not my style of commenting. It was just one of those days. But, I still don’t endorse this QWiki at all.

    Step 1- Create new site.
    Step 2- Name if PFG (Passion For Gossip)
    Step 3- Post anything you like, like this post, there.
    Step 4- Talk about “How it increases sensibility about Gossip”
    Step 5- Shout about “How ppl are dumb & don’t understand this”
    Step 6- YOU ARE CULT!!

    Not seen the other two but ‘Dosor’ is one of the worst contemporary Bengali movie I have seen. No thanks to Planman for producing a bad movie.
    This post doesn’t do any harm, but not sure how it is useful either.

    I totally agree that this doesn’t desrve a place on PFC. I am surprised that Times group didn’t make this quiz look like the biggest event of the year.
    Anyway, Lately, I have started suspecting that PFC is subtly supporting shahrukh or at least toning down the negative comments about him. what’s the matter guys?

    • Anand- I’ve already mentioned my feelings over having put this down in one of the earlier comments.So let me tell you that both on account of my individual capacity and as well as PFC, there is no attempt or interest in supporting SRK or any other actor for that matter.So relax, there was no wrong intention in this.

    yes its a big thing shahrukh coming for the b school event for iipm.but he is getting paid 4 it which arindham is doing.yes it is corruption in media if they claim they are ahead of iim’s ??then whyy do they need to publish it in the newspapers again and again.iim has its own reputation they dont need publish fake ads as iipm.
    yes arindham is a economist guru .he is great with markerting reasearch.iipm can give admission to any tom,dick and harry so they wanna make their presence felt be it newspapers,quiz etc.
    they dean which they have it in hyderabad is one loser guy always into girls the management sucks they are all kids wheres is the standard here? are you listening arindham?
    why dont u spend the money in maintaining the standards like the management? they just want to say they have tie ups with top b-schools they pay them and take u to a worthlless trip for seminars and promise that you will get a certificate that is all media gimmick cause it is not recognised by aicte an ugc.foreign universities are just fundas for students to give admission
