Crazy days… October 2, 2006
Posted by Simba in : Wiggles, MBA , 11 commentsI dont remember the last time I have been so busy! Phew, what is with B-schooling? Aren’t the Second Years supposedly the official slackers… thats the joy of being a second year student! But looks like the joy is crushed with tons of assignments, case studies & exams. So, even as a second year, I am slogging my a*** off to at least keep my head afloat, if not the whole part of myself
Nothing much has been happening otherwise. I actually had planned a lot of stuff, apart from the academics & career part but looks like all that might have to wait. For e.g, the development of this blog into something more substantial, learn some new languages, learn golf etc etc… but I must agree that I am doing some interesting things in the whole grand scheme of things… trying to sqeeze in gym & racquet ball sessions regularly (yeah, trying 
), bakin’ & cookin’ some interesting stuff & learning salsa dancing! For now, that should keep my platter busy! Day before, we headed out to ‘Hindu’ bhavan here which had organized Navratri celebration on a grand scale. I had always heard of Garba & Raas but never had tried my hand at it… & now, I did! 
Went late, hence missed the Garba part but the Dandiya Raas was sure a lot of fun! I think I kinda got pretty good at it.. its pretty simple & easy to learn! And of course, there was some sheer thrill in having hot samosas & garam masala chai in the middle of the night.
Career has taken a paramount position in my to-do, must-do lists. I havent heard back from my summer and I am not very surprised considering they are not pro-internationals.. but what’s wrong in being cross-fingered! The companies are back on campus & there are tons of things to do almost everyday. Last week, we had the Duke MBA career fair and I had a chance to talk to some of our seniors (Class of ‘06) and some interesting firms. Lets see how that goes. So, it is down to this one now.. have to get a job offer so that I can get a work permit… else pack bags & back home! Home … *sigh* where is it?!
Right now, I am working on dropping off my resumes & coverletter… so, I will get back to that! Alrighty… am out for now…
Hey, BTW… Happy Ayuda Puja & Gandhi Jayanti
