1 down 3 to go!

It is 2:45 in the morning, Saturday December 15th....i am lying in my bed thinking how fast the last 3 months went by......although there is some physical pain i am in thanks to my ill fated fall 2 nights ago..... there is a sense of achieving something special........

my last post was before my first sem started...needless to say i didn't have time to update my blog....what say ppl MBA sure does keep u busy......and to be honest i have worked more in these last couple of months than my entire 4 years of engineering put together.......

look at the brighter side, countless hours of data analysis and an understanding of the renminbi's hand in the US dollar decline...thats some fun stuff,dont u think ...but the truth is it has made me see the world in a different sense all together....the ability to reason and understand the very nature of political decisions and their impact on the world economy.....the reason why people from every country behave in the way they do........

when i stepped into the college life after 3 yrs of work i thought i will get to live the good ol days..bunking lectures and watchin movies....but here's the deal i havnt missed a single lecture except the ones for which i couldn't reach class as they were at 8 in the morng, for which i did the make up one......havnt been this sincere ever, and why cause i like this stuff...i may not be as competitive as others nor i might get as good grades...but what i got was good knowledge the stuff for which i came to college......

Enough said the next 6 weeks i am gonna relax and take time off, really can i afford to do that...
maybe not i still have to actively pursue an internship...although i have my fare share of distractions a week in florida and then 2 in New York doing a brand management program.....I will definetly be getting the jitters and shivers.....and might be snowed in as well.......

All in all its been a fun filed ride...where i have met new people made friends and learned a lot.....
1 trimester down 3 to go.....

cheers!

welcome to the valley of the sun!

Boy is it hot....its 106 today that is 41 degrees and i feel i am back in delhi.......
i think i have to get used to Fahrenheit now......so anything above 100 and i know its gonna be hot.......

My flight was nice... i guess paying the extra 10k for british airways was worth every penny of it.......had a lay over in london for about 2 hours...got a bite to eat and hopped on to the next flight......Got a chance to catch The pelican brief on the flight......slept the rest of the way through....

Took me about an hour to clear customs and immigration.......but thankfully all my bags came quite contrary to my expectation as BA is known to loose bags......was in for a pleasant surprise....
2 pretty hot babes came to pick me up at the airport...of course so did my friends who i never found......but he did come......so i hopped on with them...jenny and Alice ...they were pretty cool ...they dropped me at my friends place...Met up with Bhavi after 3 years...we guys caught up over a few drinks......

Got up really early as i had to come to the college........Bhavi dropped me......Called up actually woke up Meghna...... .Till she got ready strolled around campus and met Neil,shikher and Garima.......Came back and then got my student Id card made out...thanks to meghna for serving as the guide for the day.......Had lunch in the cafeteria......the food was just about eatable......met up with Firoza and kalpshree..they look pretty brainy.......

Also got my dorm...its a nice room and the best part is its pool facing.......nice eye candy........
Was on the lookout for part time jobs...have filled out an application in the Library...lets see if i get it.....well that's where i am right now....Have an Eco boot camp from Wednesday and then foundations week.....might be heading to San Fransisco on labor day weekend.....

Later

3 years later!

2 much of free time at my disposal...what better to do but to create a blog.....its been close to a week since i returned back from bangalore after 3 years in the IT city....believe u me life out there was much more fun....As i look back over the past 3 years spent i know i have enough memories that will last me a good part of this life.....My first paycheck, my first car, great friends and a great company!

Ten days earlier i was employed, now as i prepare to leave for my MBA i think anxious is what i am....It's not that i am going to the US for the first time, but the anticipation surrounding my future is at it's peak right now...surely my parents are exhilarated and they should be. They always wanted me to do an MBA and make a good life......The big if comes in when i will graduate and choose what next......Which field i want to pursue i am not sure off as of now but i have time to decide on that.......

Having worked for the biggest software company in the world for the last 3 years has imbibed in me the concept of going all out and achieve the best.....i was never a topper in class nor college but i know great grades dont guarantee nothin.....i hope to do well at school and land a job..make my parents happy, get set for life in their terminology......

I am caught in the middle i guess...wanting to hang on to the last 3 years which have passed and looking ahead which i dont even have a sniff about....the past was familiar and comforting...the future beckons and i know it will be a good future.........Its exactly 10 days before i board the flight for Phoenix,Arizona or as my friend sunil calls it 'feenix' . It's hot as hell there but i guess i am not complaining, its just a 4 hour drive to vegas...wow! thats one place i dont wanna miss....
That aside i know the next 2 years will probably be the toughest ever....but i am going there with a will to fight and survive.......
