Meeting up with Steve! August 23, 2004
Posted by Simba in : Uncategorized , add a commentHey, my blog looks dull & empty.. just opp to what my life has been over the past few days 
Thursday the 19th was an amazing day. I had to catch up with Steve. He is basically a canadian who flew to Manchester from Mumbai. Yeah, I would have been his classmate if everything had worked out well!!! 
Anyways, I met up with some of his pals from Canada, Germany & India. We were basically about 8 of us and had a great time. Its so easy to speak to open minded individuals. Though I thought some ‘firangs’ were shy, I was so pleasantly surprised to hit it off quite well!! The conversations went into careers, friends, MBA, post MBA, life at Europe, Cananda & US etc etc…I was thinking that had I been to MBS, I would have had so much great time always… but then again. I would also be slogging for that degree!!!
Next was a nice family gathering after a LOONG time… I have been so away from my mother that just having her around feels so good. It almost feels like those goo’ ol’ times. Ya, but I was not able to do much on the GMAT front. I am planning to take it up in first week of Nov. Like hell, I am gonna give it my best!!! And by the looks of it, I am applying to only R2s.. guess, i do not have much choice on that front.
This Sunday was an amazing day.. a grand learning experience. I was out on a camp - a medical one which was organised by NASEOH. This camp was to screen the handicapped people and give various kinds of treatments, diagnosis etc etc. Also, the no. of wheel chairs, crutches, cycles etc etc was taken. Next month would be a followup camp. I cant really say how I felt… but serving people at the grassroots really overwhelms you.
More details about this camp will come up later, if possible with pictures. I am also planning a small write up for PaGaLGuY to post on its website.
