diversity n beyond..
k.. really hardpressed for time.. 2 papers today.. 1 gone.. 1 to go in 2 hrs time.. n 2 chapters still left to study... still have gotta record this..
learning essentially took a new meaning today morn (330am to be precise...love to hilite the time!!! ) Sociology had 13 chapters to study (read: 250 odd pages of material in some wierd dialect of english!!).. n yesterday nite was the 1st time almost the entire batch had opened the book.. not feasible to do the entire thing.. so what u do... u record!
As they say.. at B schools.. the diverse backgnd of students helps.. and as we have it.. there is also stud of sociology here.. he gave a crash course in a hostel room to 3-4 students.. 1 guy records the entire thing on his cell phone.. n floats it across to the batch.. so less mortals like me dont have to read all the erudite material.. instead just listen to the complete n abridged material.. take notes.. n give the paper next day!!!

trophy of Champions.. truly!
Off late, where One Day cricket has been reduced to mockery on dust bowls, where the team batting first scores 350 and still feels insecure, where batsmen have looked more like Roger Federers with the wrong racquet, where u wud ask ur kid to take up hockey (considering its our national sport!) than be a fast bowler... the Champion's trophy has actually been a revelation. Suddenly, 215 seems defendable, the batsmen have been made to work hard and the men have been seperated from the boys. Its been great to see the talents of Mkhaya Ntini, Jermane Lawson, Umar Gul and Harbhajan Singh get a level playi g field. Where, for ages the ball seemed to rarely get waist high, suddenly it is bouncing ans seaming and doing all sorts of things!
But, alas, each time u switch on the TV set, all you see is empty stands.. When the quality of cricket seems to be at its best, the audience seem to have disappeared. Blame the administrators for that! Empty stands in India is rare.. but when u do the blunder of scheduling all the matches in just 4 stadiums, what else can you expect! May be BCCI has got enough money out of TV screening rights.
Anyways, back to the cricket. So does India stand a chance of beating the Australians at Mohali on Saturday. sawry.. their bowlings too good n this time, they have a 12th player.. the pitch!!

Long time no post..
k.. its almost been a month since I last wrote something.. n lots have happened this month.. we r done wid r 1st term here.. had been to bombay after that.. now im back.. n the tasks in hand ve almost doubled.. mid terms approachin in a coupla weeks time.. n summer placements immediately after that.. k. lets take up each one by one..
firstly.. 1st term over.. so Im 1/6 of an MBA.. n since there is so much obsession with Stats here and the need to get answers correct till the 4th decimal place.. I shud rather say that Im 0.1667 of an MBA now... n wud u believe it.. in like. 3 weeks time i wud be 1/4th.. oh sorry.. 0.2500 of an MBA!! time flies here.. that too at v=C!! ;)
then..Good ol' Bombay.. caught up wid friends.. all ve kinda moved on... but good to see that nothin has changed much... the same old conversations.. the same old hangouts.. ate a lot.. Maa ke haath ka bana khana..good ol idli.. sambhar.. dosa.. payasam.. Mom tried her best to make for all the weight Ive lost in the last 3 months! n did a bit of shoppin for diwali n bday.. this time Dad did all the shoppin for me.. felt like a "bacha" again..
..back in campus.. into more serious things.. have attended like a 100 PPTs(Pre Placement Talks ie:)).. got into thinkin mould.. an MBA opens a whole lot of oppurtunities for u.. I m in a fix.. shud it be Fin... Consults or Marketing!! its a gr8 dilemma to have.. in Consults.. the jobs look very interesting.. the only glitch is that u never settle at one place.. it is one job where the amt of travel is proportional to ur age.. I-Banks seem good too.. but again.. the lifestyle is too TOO hectic!! an Analyst's job is like 24*7*365 ..but the money is also crazy!! ppl retire at 35 it seems!! n finally Mkting.. the kinda firms that comin r the best.. n wud u believe it they only get a late slot 1 or slot 2!! selling soaps in rural Bihar does excite me.. but guess. its better said than done.. (or was it something else??)
n finally.. did something ive longed to do since I was in the 8th std.. or was it 6th!!! Playin cricket wid the leather ball. The pads.. the helmets.. the gloves.. have always been a thrill. had been for the cricket team selections for the XL meet.. figured out that im not bad et all!! even gotta compliment frm the captain. Lets see how it works out. As they ve always said.. theres nothin better than the real thing!!
