Boring Week

Feeling really bored in this week. Just dont feel like waking up at 5am, getting ready and coming to office. Only 2 days to go for my ISB interview, feeling a whole lot of things already.

Pata nahi kya hoga, hopefully I will be able to do well....fingers crossed...I am the best :)

Weekend Travails

This Sunday I woke up feeling all excited about Mock CAT 11. I had good last nights sleep (happens to me once in a blue moon) and was raring to go. Had a quick shower and breakfast and left my house earlier than usual. On the way got a PUCC and was pretty happy that I did not have to wait in a queue.
I reached Bharti Public School pretty early and there were very few souls like me who were at the venue. Since, I was feeling bored, I decided to call my friend, who also had an ISB interview call. His interview was scheduled 3 days before mine, so I was a bit inquisitive as to how his preration was chugging along. As soon as I hung up on him, I got a really disappointing news. The CL Mock CAT had been rescheduled. There was no test in the morning slot and the only available slot was 2:30pm to 5:00pm.
I felt so damn angry with the CL people for their lackadaisical attitude. These people have no proper practices in place and dont care for their students time.
Well, what to do now. I called my friend again and he suggested that I come to his place and we can fine tune our interview strategies together and also take mock interviews of each other. Luckily his house is closer the CL Mock CAT venue as compared to my house.
There we started with interviewing each other. He was able to answer my questions pretty well. Then came my turn to be interviewed. But he really blowed me apart. He thought my answers were not convincing, essays were trash, job change was not justified........

Felt pretty low after all that. I had a quick lunch at his place, along with some yummy sweets and proceeded to give my mock. The mock went just fine, not too good.
My score in English was three times my score in DI and English combined :(
Never mind, it keeps happening...hopefully on D-day I will do superbly......feeling pretty confident with CAT this time, but not so confident for my ISB interview.
Save me God

Visit to AIM Open House

Yesterday I attended the Open House hosted by the Asian Institute of Management, Philippines at Hotel Hans Plaza in CP. I was planning to reach the place directly from office but changed plans and reached home instead first. The session was starting at 7pm and I reached home at 6:20 pm.
After reaching home I realised that I was already running late, had a quick change of clothes and rushed to catch the Metro to CP. The ride was nice and smooth and I listened to songs on mobile phone on the way. I managed to reach the hotel by 7:20 pm. At first glance it seemed to be a small but a decent looking hotel. I somehow managed to reach the right hall and the Open House was in full swing. An AIM professor was presenting before the audience a case for the MDM program (a program in which I had no interest at all). Everything he spoke seemed to be Greek to me and I felt extremely bored initially. But luckily he wrapped up the session in 20 minutes and then the fun started.
The next session was hosted by Professor Ricardo Linn and he spoke of the MBA and MM programs being offered by AIM. The professor was absolutely awesome and had the audience in splits with some wisecracks. He also demonstrated before us how the actual teaching takes place in AIM.
I was pretty impressed by the case study method of teaching and realised it would be absolutely great to learn in such an environment. Overall the session was pretty good and I was highly inpressed by the professor. Hopefully there will be more of his type at AIM.
The only thing which I did not like about the whole open house was the quality of Alumini which had come. They did not seem to be the kind of people whom you would like to study with nor did their job profiles seem to be very impressive.
And the best part of the session was the food and snacks that followed all the talk. I filled myself with all the grub and had some hearty laughs with my friend.
All in all a good experience.

Old Crushes

Well well well, my previous post has made my mind wander back to my school days when heart was pure, but mind was unsure :)
I am really missing this old friend of mine, she was my bus mate and we sat next to each for 2 years. I don't know why...but we alway sat together. I know my side of the story. I sat next to her as she was amongst the coolest and most charming people I had met for a long time. I still remember all those moments I shared with her, when she held my hand, when she hugged me, when she used to give me those beaming smiles....

I am still in touch with her, its been 6 years since we left school and I still feel she is the girl I have loved the most ever.

Chemistry

I want my post to be entirely written by me, without any copy paste. But I would love to share a very sweet poem inspired by school chemistry. It really reminds me of my school days when I used to day dream of all the beautiful girls in my school (and there were plenty) while sitting in the chemistry class.

Miss you DPS RK Puram girls, you are the best!!!


Na Ye Chemistry Hoti ,
Na Mein Student Hota
Na Ye Lab Hoti,
Na Ye Accident Hota

Abhi Practical Mein Aaye Nazar Ek Ladki
Sundar Thi Naak Uski Test Tube Jaisi
Baton Mein Uski Glucose Ki Mithas Thi
Sanson Mein Ester Ki Khushbu Bhi Sath Thi

Aankhon Se Jhalakta Tha
Kuch Is Taranh Ka Pyaar
Bin Piye Hi Ho Jata Tha
Alcohol Ka Khumar

Benzene Sa Hota Tha
Uski Presence Ka Ehsas
Andhere Mein Hota Tha
Radium Ka Abhas

Nazrein Mileen, Reaction Hua
Kuch Is Taranh Love Ka Production Hua
Lagne Lage Us Ke Ghar Ke Chakkar Aise
Nucleus Ke Charon Taraf Electron Hon Jaise

Us Din Hamare Test Ka Confirmation Hua
Jab Uske Daddy Se Hamara Introduction Hua
Sun Kar Hamari Baat Woh Aise Uchal Pare
Ignition Tube Mein Jaise Sodium Bharak Uthe

Woh Bole, Hosh Mein Aao, Pahchano Apni Auqat
Iron Mil Nahin Sakta Kabhi Gold Ke Sath
Ye Sun Kar Tuta Hamare Armanon Bhara Beaker
Aur Hum Chup Rahe Benzaldehyde Ka Karwa Ghoont Pi Kar

Ab Us Ki Yaadon Ke Siwa Hamara Kam Chalta Na Tha
Aur Lab Mein Hamare Dil Ke Siva Kuch Aur Jalta Na Tha
Zindagi Ho Gayee Unsaturated Hydrocarbon Ki Taranh
Aur Hum Phirte Hain Awara Hydrogen Ki Tarhan

Feeling Happy

I am feeling really happy today after creating this blog. I have been tinkering with the options to customize my blog like a 5 year child (after all I have to do justice to my blog name..lol)

The options are pretty amazing and I am trying to create a page which is easy on the eyes and makes for a great read. A big thank you to technology and the virtual world.

ISB ISB ISB

I have an interview with the Indian School of Business Scheduled on Nov 2, 2007. I am really elated to finally get a chance to present myself to a B-school interview panel. YIPEEEE

I always used to feel that I will be able to crack my b-school interviews with ease, but now with an interview call in hand, I am feeling pretty nervous. On one hand I am trying to remain calm and thinking that I will take the whole thing as an experince, but on the other hand I am thinking of what I can do if I get admission into ISB. I would buy a new bike (hopefully a bullet), go for a couple of holidays (one to Benaras and one abroad), chill out with friends, throw lots of attitude in office, etc, etc.

Well the list seems to be endless. Hopefully everything will go well

First Post Ever

This my first blog ever and I am pretty excited aboout it. Hopefully I can write some interesting posts and have some regular readers on my page.

This first post is being written by me in the confines of my 14th Floor office in Gurgaon. Many things going on in my mind simultaneously. I wish I could take a looong nap. Feeling really sleepy today after sleeping for just 3 hours yesterday night.
I am also looking forward to attending the open house being conducted by the Asian Institue of Management (AIM), Philippines in CP today. Planning to attend it at 7pm after office.
Seems to be a long day for me....
