States of Gas

Gas is appreciated mainly by two sets of professional. First scientists in a chemistry lab and second by MBA students. The reason for affection is entirely different. During the course of this post I will compare and contrast the various forms of gas available in nature and in b-schools. For those unaware gas in b-school parlance signifies the meaningless ‘gyan’ rambled by occupants.

Nitrogen (N2)

It is the most abundant form of gas available in nature. Like in nature it occupies 78% of b-school environment as well. Harmless on the surface but can develop into a deadly concoction when mixed with other elements.

Oxygen (O2)

This is the basis of life. These individuals provide the substance in the course. Again rather unfortunately only 21% of are in this state. It is due to the existence of this form of gas that a b-school is a tolerable place.

Ammonia (NH3)

This one stinks. And it really is one that you should run away from. The strange thing though is that when you mix ammonia with the some other ingredients it can produce excellent results.

Nitrous Oxide (N2O)

This one makes me laugh, I mean literally. Not for no reason is it called laughing gas. These characters on campus make life easier.

It is amazing how things connect, who would have thoughts lessons in chemistry play out in management.

a small thought might have been spared for CO2
minute proportions, overwhelming effects, leaves us all snuffed!
