What is your perception of personal ethics Vs professional ethics? If different, can you explain the difference?

Ethics mean beliefs and values. Personal ethics and professional ethics often go hand in hand Values which we think are equitable and are conducted in our personal life because our conscience allows us to do so. Personal ethics is what one believes in whereas professional ethics is what the organization believes and therefore wants us to adhere to. As synchronous as it may sound, but according to me an individuals demeanor is difficult to change. His/Her underlying values will remain the same but needs a different play as per the surroundings and impositions. For example, a thief's profession is to steal, his professional ethics demands him to steal and so does is personal belief allows him to steal, else a person will not resort to such a profession if it is against his conscience. An individual needs to understand and make a clear demarcation of where to draw the line; beyond which he/she cannot go against his/her values in a state of conflict with his/her personal beliefs. When an organization presents you with its rules and obligations, it is the duty of an employee to understand them and abide by them. The comparison is not limited to professional or personal level in fact it is a fight with one's own self to understand the extent to which one needs to stand by one's own self belief and values and when not to. I believe that Ethics cannot be defined, cannot be implemented or forced, it is a culture and value that is imbibed within, it is not conscious, and it involves thinking as well as our feelings.

3. Please elaborate on one key information that you believe is important for Greatlakes to accept your candidacy.

It is important to be a well rounded and well adjusted candidate to be a part of such an esteemed course which helps to inculcate and deliver to its students a blend of business perspectives along with the corporate ethics in unison with today's market trends. Being equipped with qualities like good communication skills, leadership, innovativeness, I have the potential to compete with the talent and intellect of the student mix at the institute. I have consistently performed throughout my academics both in school as well as during college. I have been an active and enthusiastic member of the college's student council and have always been an all round performer. My trials with management began with reciting the holy book of The Bhagvat Gita and picking up the nuances of the hardships and lessons in life. In a conservative background of Indian families, my trysts with sports (athletics to be precise) too have taught me the balance in life. The stories and lessons learnt from my short stint in Athletics have been deeply rooted inside which now helps me keep going with vigor every single day. A female athlete winning the best student award was the first of its kind in our school. Versatility in me has always been and will always be my strength in taking me to heights of success both professionally and personally.
4. Explain in brief as to how you - as an individual - would add value to your classmates once you are admitted to the school.

An IT engineer by profession with graduation degree in Electronics and Telecommunication, a choreographer by choice and a passionate writer; my inquisitiveness to seek in depth knowledge on subjects/areas of interest have always made me achieve goals beyond limits. I have that urge to learn more and travel an extra mile to make it possible. Being the General Secretary in College I have managed the entire inter college annual fest, which was appreciated by all. The entire responsibility of making it a successful event rested on the Students Council team which was headed by me. I have been actively involved in Placement cell activities that gave me an insight into corporate hiring procedures which required great deal of authority and effective communication. Being an active team player I can participate and contribute to the team building forums thereby making the journey of education amicable. An athlete in me will always contribute the hardships of life that an individual faces while balancing life on and off the field. I have learnt Management lessons right from the early age of childhood. Routine and precision have been my motto throughout which has helped me master the art of persistence. I would bring a diverse perspective to the class which will add value not only to the batch and classmates but also to the school. [email protected]

Godse is often a misunderstood character. He is referred to as a Hindu fanatic. It is often hard to understand Godse because the Government of India had suppressed information about him. His court statements, letters etc. were all banned from the public until recently. Judging from his writings one thing becomes very clear He was no fanatic. His court statements are very well read out and indicate a calm and collected mental disposition. He never even once speaks ill about Gandhi as a person, but only attacks Gandhi's policies which caused ruin and untold misery to Hindus. Another interesting point to note is that Godse had been working with the Hindu refugees fleeing from Pakistan. He had seen the horrible atrocities committed on them. Many women had their hands cut off, nose cut off, even little girls had been raped mercilessly. Despite this Godse did not harm even single Muslim in India which he could easily have. So it would be a grave mistake to call him a Hindu fanatic. Let us start by studying the motive behind Godse's act. By seeing the nature of the assassination in public space and Godse's act of turning himself over to the Police, we can see that Godse did not do this for personal reasons. He very well knew that he would be hanged and his name would be disgraced as Gandhi was considered a saint. And again Godse could have ran away and escaped punishment. But he did the reverse. He called a police officer and courted arrest. Before we proceed it would be wise to understand the backdrop of the assassination. The central government had taken a decision Pakistan will not be given Rs 55 crores. On January 13 Gandhi started a fast unto death that Pakistan must be given the money. On January 13, the central government changed its earlier decision and announced that Pakistan would be given the amount. On January 13, Nathuram decided to assassinate Gandhi. Nathuram Godse was a learned man, very sharp and intelligent editor of "Agrani" (one of the most famous newspaper of that time with Nana Aapte). In his last editorial of "Agrani" which he changed overnight he said "Gandhi must be stopped at any cost" and he justified why Gandhiji's assassination was not only inevitable but also a delayed action, sth tht shud've happened LONG AGO. In Nathuram's words - " I don't refute Gandhi's theory of non-violence. He may be a saint but he is not a politician. His theory of non-violence denies self-defence and self-interest. The nonviolence that defines the fight for survival as violence is a theory not of non-violence but of selfdestruction.The division of the nation was an unnecessary decision. What was the percentage of the Muslim population as compared to the population of the nation? There was no need for a separate nation. Had it been a just demand, Maulana Azad would not have stayed back in India. But because Jinnah insisted and because Gandhi took his side, India was divided, in spite of opposition from the nation, the Cabinet. An individual is never greater than a nation. In a democracy you cannot put forward your demands at knife-point. Jinnah did it and Gandhi stabbed the nation with the same knife. He dissected the land and gave a piece to Pakistan. We did picket that time but in vain. The Father of our Nation went to perform his paternal duties for Pakistan! Gandhi blackmailed the cabinet with his fast unto death. His body, his threats to die are causing the destruction geographical as well as economical of the nation. Today, Muslims have taken a part of the nation, tomorrow Sikhs may ask for Punjab. The religions are again

dividend into castes, they will demand sub-divisions of the divisions. What remains of the concept of one nation, national integration? Why did we fight the British in unison for independence? Why not separately? Bhagat Singh did not ask only for an independent Punjab or Subhash Chandra Bose for an independent Bengal? I am going to assassinate him in the open, before the public, because I am going to do it as my duty. If I do it surreptitiously, it becomes a crime in my own eyes. I will not try to escape, I will surrender and naturally I will be hanged. One assassination, one hanging. I don't want two executions for one assassination and I don't want your involvement, participation or company. (This was for Nana-Apte and Veer Savarkar as they were against ghandhi's policies too, Godse wanted to assassinate gandhi all by himself and took promise from Nana Apte that he will continue helping Veer Savarkar in rebuilding India as a strong free nation.) On January 30, I reached Birla Bhavan at 12 pm. Gandhi was sitting outside on a cot enjoying the sunshine. Vallabhbhai Patel's granddaughter was sitting at his feet. I had the revolver with me. I could have assassinated him easily then, but I was convinced that his assassination was to be a punishment and a sentence against him, and I would execute him. I wanted witnesses for the execution but there were none. I did not want to escape after the execution as there was not an iota of guilt in my mind. I wanted to surrender, but surrender to whom? There was a good crowd to collect for the evening prayers. I decided on the evening of January 30 as the date for Gandhi's execution. Gandhi climbed the steps and came forward. He had kept his hands on the shoulders of the two girls. I wanted just three seconds more. I moved two steps forward and faced Gandhi. Now I wanted to take out the revolver and salute him for whatever sacrifice and service he had made for the nation. One of the two girls was dangerously close to Gandhi and I was afraid that she might be injured in the course of firing. As a precautionary measure I went one more step ahead, bowed before him and gently pushed the girl away from the firing line. The next moment I fired at Gandhi. Gandhi was very weak, there was a feeble sound like 'aah' (There are proof that Gandhi did NOT say "Hey Raam" at that time it's just made up stuff ) from him and he fell down. After the firing I raised my hand holding the revolver and shouted, 'Police, police'. For 30 seconds nobody came forward and I scanned the crowd. I saw a police officer. I signalled to him to come forward and arrest me. He came and caught my wrist, then a second man came and touched the revolver I let it go"
