I have an MBA…

…‘Maa, Babuji ka Aashirwaad’

Alright alright, I call them mummy and papa, but seriously, this one goes to them.

Had it not been for you guys, I would not have got an A in half my courses at ISB with all that attendance criterion. Almost every term classes started at 8 in the morning and with all those assignments, parties, studies, and chats running till almost 4 am every night, had you guys not woken me up every morning, I would have missed many of even my 10 am classes, leave aside the 8 am ones.

I suspect that sometimes you yourself had to wake up half an hour early to wake me up at whatever time I wanted and no matter how much I asked you about your plans, you wouldn’t say anything until you knew what time I wanted woken up. I did try to ask you for as late as possible but I know sometimes I still disrupted your schedule. No amount of gratitude is enough for you, but still, a big thanks to you…

…you guys rock :)

So bored I am..

Whatever creativity I had seems to have died. These days when I am royally bored, at times I think I should write something but then find myself devoid of any new ideas to write on.

My joining is still about 2 months away. I think I should read the book on Macroeconomics that I liked a lot during Term 2 last year but didn’t get time for at that time. Yeah, may be I’ll start that from tomorrow. And some good course pack articles too that I couldn’t finish for paucity of time last year.

Meanwhile I have also joined a gym at home. It’s a new one and perhaps one of the best in town, not comparable to the famous chains though but still. I plan to refine my cuts even more and eliminate the existing weak points in my body in these 2 months. Then with my job, if I can even do it twice or thrice a week, that should be sufficient to maintain my physique.

People tell me to enjoy the free time I have because once I join job, I would hardly be free. That’s alright but I have become workaholic now. Who wants free time!

Some close ones have also asked me how I’ll manage with so much work and no personal time. Well, first of all, I am not sure if I really wouldn’t have any personal time. I doubt if so many people are sustaining themselves for so many years in that career without any personal time. But then if they really are, I anyways don’t have a life! So shouldn’t be a problem for me either! What say?

Here are a couple of pictures of mine from the graduation day on 3rd April 2010…

Ankur Vaish

This was one of the most beautiful days of my life so far, full of a sense of achievement and a sense of a meaningful self with the realization that in just one year this place has completely changed my life forever.
