My journey!

As I journey through time, here I present a small peak into what I think and experience!

Finally it comes...

The placements season 2006 has arrived and that too in style! The much envied-famed-sought-after Day Zero started yesterday (why do we start from zero is still an intrigue!). The campus saw many big-wigs visiting like McKinsey, BCG, AT Kearney, Merill Lynch, Lehman Bros, UBS, ABN Amro and many more. I dont have the exact numbers but may be close to a half century (with standard deviation of 5 on either sides) excluding the PPO's seem to have been ensnared by these companies. Why I say that is cause these are some of the best minds amongst the so-called crema-de-la-creme of the country and believe me most of them really are. Its such fun and satisfaction to see smiling faces once offers are announced by the companies. There is an off-side to it that there are many other dejected faces but you just cant help it.

One of our professor says "I always wanted to play basketball but God made me short. Life is unfair" So we just gotto accept it. At the end of the day I seem to have realised one thing. Those who get deserve it but there are many others who deserve but dont get it.

Here comes....

My end terms start tomorrow and I am still reading the 8th chapter while the syllabus has in the upwards of twenty. Well, bad habits are there to last and real bad habits are concretized into the inner layers of my veins and arteries. As nothing much can be done on this front, I thought, fine let me visit my blog and write something. I know I could have read half another chapter in the meanwhile but what the heck! What's the point in mugging so hard? Agreed that there are many pros of doing so but one prioritizes things right from day 1 one enters a bschool. Though I did not write down a list acads was top of the mind recall but as happens in every product advertisement, the branding failed and acads was pushed down the stack. Good or bad will be known next year when the companies shall swoop down on the campus (hopefully Osama will take a hike for a couple of years. I shall definitely pay for his holiday retreat if required!) for picking up the cherries that have ripened since so many years and which have further reddened during their stay here. Ok, before I write any more crap, lemme go back to studies otherwise, the tension of marks will make me write some arbit shitty stuff which I myself cant read....
