What was I thinking?! January 11, 2005

Gosh, Today I am feeling like a dumbchick! I have just submitted my application to Wharton, Oxford and Fuqua. And I havent heard from any one of them and I dont think I will ever hear from them either. I am dumb dumb dumb. Why would anybody take me… Yes, this is currently how I am feeling!!!

Now, I need to work on MIT and ISB apps. Trust me, I am finding it tough now. MIT, come on.. they want hard-core brains!! Why the hell will they even call me?! I hope to get atleast interview calls. And I keep praying everyday… I hope ISB doesnt throw me out!!

BTW, this Sunday was a great day. Though I had least bit energy to work after a hectic week, I promptly woke up at 4ish and freshened up and went out to catch the local bus. Brrrr… It was cold and I was lucky to find a ‘chai-wala’ (tea-vendor) in the middle of the road and drank up a burning cup of tea. Had a very unhealthy breakfast of oily & fatty & sugary breakfast (Tsk Tsk… I better get back to that gym… I have even forgotten to eat healthy!) Then, we all, close to 10 people went to a tribal village called ‘Mhasa’. Drive was great and the scenery was breathtaking.

We landed up in the medical camp. This camp was basically to diagnose physically challenged people in the rural areas. We did not have a large crowd of villagers and this camp was more organized than the last one we had. We had a lot of volunteers and hence the work we each put in was effortless. We helped people and I got around speaking to a couple of villagers/ tribal about the problems they face with regards to their disability. That reminds me, I need to send an article to NASEOH for their newsletter.

Lunch was splendid. Village cooked meal - Simple & Tasty! We left around 5:00 pm and headed back to Mumbai. It was a bumpy drive as we all were huddled in an unstable 3-wheeler village vehicle. I was constantly hoping we would land in Mumbai in one shape. :-) On the whole, I had good fun with so many good pals. Anyday, I would do this than sleep & laze around at home.
