Bit of everything
Catching up with things from here and there. I can still remember, looking back in time, the days when I searched USnews, Businessweek, etc., for the B-School rankings and this was in 2001-2002. Six years have gone by and I will be soon graduating from MBA. ...contd.

Nice day
Wow!!! a break from a a week long chilling weather. Its a nice day out there. Had been out on a casual beat and took some random pics. I shall upload them soon. India is holding up well against Australia in the test match, which looks like a possible draw. The Sydney test made the difference lest we would have had a series draw. Well, I shall start posting strong views on other sports that India is into. Looks like, either hockey or tennis. We need an Indian soccer team out there, if only Ambani's realised this and sponsored the team.

Diversify Indian sports portfolio
The God does it again. I must say cricket is certainly a religion in India. We have seen India loose sheepishly so many times but as soon there is a win, we revive in joy and forget all the losses. India cricket in the past has pretty much emulated the stock behavior on the exchange, yet we stand by our time. Cricket is the only sport that the nation preaches and follows steadfastly. We need a back up. We need to diversify basket of sports played in India. Tennis and Hockey happen with sub prime interest. I mean, schools should cultivate different sports, more sports and equipments should be made available for the local citizens and at the government schools. India has caught up with the technology wave and has to quickly gravitate itself into other areas in sports as well.
I from today decide to follow, play and preach a back up sport. I don't want to be so much banked on the Indian cricket team for every time to rejoice. I hope each one of us realizes it.
Another big day, got to catch up with life. cheers

New found interest
M&A was good, I want to do this course but the course load is not worth for the value add. I would love to audit this course though. The advertising course was a disappointment, I am sure that I am not doing that course.
The new found interest is the Service Operations Management, which talks about how to lean the service sector. Intriguing subject- I hope I like this course. The best thing is you get to attend these courses before you really decide to go for them.
Alright, I got to go do some grocery. BTW, I also plan to write travelogues, articles, etc. Self inspired but hope lives long.

Mondee morning Blues
I wonder why the Mondee mornings are blue and I had always wondered. At MBA (Monday's are Blue Always ) each day is like a Monday, but now I am used to it and it is fun in its own way. But sure, during the first year every morning I always felt I was getting out there to battle life.
Today, I begin last stint of my MBA. The big decider is whether to go with the M&A or not. It seemed interesting while I prepared for the class, but the amount of course work actually dissuades me. At the same time, I think this is the last stint and probably last time I will be ever studying so give it all. But for me the best way to decide is give it time.
I had my doze of morning pills to keep me for the day. Will probably write more later in the evening.
Cheers

Looking back in life
Working on my MBA, I feel I am getting a chemotherapy done. But the only feeling that there would be better days ahead keeps me alive and kicking and gives that spirit to look forward in life. I am unable to decide my next logical step. Why is that you are never satisfied and look for something more.
I have been deliberating with what I have to do with my life. One might say, Live It, but then there are these passions, desires, materialism that takes over you. I am sure that I am pretty much caught between them. I grew up in a small town in southern India and then outgrew my expectations when I completed my under graduations from some place in eastern India. What I had not realized then was the change I had gone through in those four years during my under grad. I am glad I decided to get my degree from Rourkela. It is a interesting story of how I made it to that place.
Empowered with friends and experience, I took on to battle my life in Bangalore. I went through a pretty dry period before Satyam happened to me in early September. Instantly decided to accept the offer, was so excited that evening, my first Job, I hadn't slept the whole night. I was excited and reaching out for stars. But my job at Stayam started at a rather not so great note. I had some good times and bad times there and suddenly late Jan after more than a year, SAP happened.
Stop, stop, I can't rant at this pace. I am skipping lot of details. I should write everything in detail. More later.
Cheers

Connection
Jan 20th, temperature is around -24 degrees, and I have two assignments to work on. I have seen most of the movies, can't hang out and that leaves me with nothing but work on my assignments. Clever that I am, I choose not to work on my assignments but test my blogging skills rather.
I was following the cricket live, and OZ's got a well deserved break. It was like stopping Hitler from his spree of conquers. I am looking forward to catch up with more cricket this season as I offloaded the work at school by doing couple of winter intensives.
I swear to god blogging is good. It has espirited me, lately I have been debilitated from the work at school and lost interest in life. I believe life is a wonderful experience and every human should experience it first hand and to the fullest. Okay, I have realized I make lot of understatements that most of the times are impractical. Its been almost 18 months in Canada and I have had shit load of life time experiences here. MBA, is definitely a phase in my life. I have learned and unlearned plenty lot of things.
Okay, let me stop here, I have already offloaded disarrayed thoughts on here. I want to blog more often and see if I can understand myself through greater introspection.
