Past few days have been very conducive to self-discovery... I never even remotely considered being an entrepreneur earlier, but the atmosphere right now is tempting me to think abt it more seriously.... But I am pleasantly surprised to note that I share a lot of dynamic, radical thinking of the entrepreneurs I have been listening to past few days... Let's see how things shape up in the future... My studying has gone down a lot past few days too :(( Hope it recovers before it's too late!! I joined guitar class, dropped dance, and registered for Golf. My extra-curriculars has pleasantly shot up in the past few weeks! :) Way to go! Had the section party yesterday and the ISB party today...still am in the hangover of the section party.. too many drinks, no food -> deadly combo.

Back from Bombay... and straight into the term!! Barely managed to read a few pages before class, but was at my most attentive. I know it'll fade soon! Went for a game of badminton, signed up for Entrepreneurship, and also for Guitar lessons! I love leading a fun and balanced life! All I did over the term break was relax, but also decided to have fun during my tenure at ISB. After all, we are here to become well-rounded individuals. The weather is fantastic, and am looking forward to the cold season as well. Hyd is a great city as far as weather is concerned. Maybe a job here after graduation....??

Relaxing in Bombay...mmmmm!!!! A fantastic feeling to cool down and recharge. I find the past 3 months in ISB have actually boosted my energy levels... much like keeping the engines continuously on high power to extract the most out of them. The exams were average, and I dont hope to get any better marks than an average "B"! :( Well, I am trying to keep away from the grades-mania.... In these 4 days, it's tough to make up my mind either to think abt the MBA or just lay back and chill... Since there's not much time during the term, I think i should spend some time soul-searching... But for now, it's time for some tea and sit and watch the pouring rain which was waiting for me in Bombay!

yeah, its been a long time now... but theres so much studying going on, and not much happening otherwise... am trying to keep up with gym, but am not gonna go there for the next few days... Leaving for Bombay on the last day of the exam! That'll be a good break, but I also hope to read some additional useful stuff without the sword of exams hanging over my head! This term has been quite "anti-social"... hardly any parties happening, and the social scene is very flat and boring... I hope it improves next term with the dance and guitar classes... maybe even golf! Am getting a but serious abt the job-hunt else I'll land up yet again with an IT job!! YIKES!!!
Went for the Admissions Task Force meeting... keeping up my promise to myself that the waiting-list ordeal I went through is reduced as much as I can influence the committee....
The weather is great, but the spirits across the campus are not very alive... Need to get some action going.. I had beer alone the other night coz no one else wanted to drink!!! Cheer up folks!!!

I was pleasantly shocked to get an A in accounts! A!!! Imagine!! In Accounts!! Quite mind-numbing... I guess sometimes hard work pays off even though the immediate result (like the marks on the paper) may not look too promising... I m becoming more confident of my abilities and finding a good balance between work and life... gymming regularly, listen to music and of course study a lot... We are planning to meet our host family tomorrow night for dinner.. should be fun! More after that!

Met our host family on Sunday.. the Aikya initiative. The family is an extremely influential and rich family, and we met the lady of the house. This thursday, we are going over to their place for dinner. Should be fun!! Since Sunday, it's been back to the grind of lectures, reading, assignments and more Markstrat! I am developing more and more confidence as the days go by and aiming higher on the career front. Realization has dawned (again, actually!!) that life is short and we need to use our abilities to the max! So, watch out world - here I come!! I need to get back into the study mode soon.. exams around the corner yet again!

What a day so far! Pure relaxation... Had a good Global Economics paper yesterday... my first paper in ISB where I thot I actually learnt something and also applied it sensibly... I hope! :)
Spent last evening on Markstrat with the team... it was longer than expected... called it a 'day' at 2.30 am in the night... Hope we do better this time. Product mgmt is fun... hopefully i can get into it sooner rather than later... But one thing's for sure.. I want authority and responsibility now.. no more a plain-jack running around under a pseudo-manager profile...
Had the marketing club meet today... lots of interesting ideas, and great enthusiastic people.. I realized that a lot of my enthu is derived from others and so I should spend more time with a lot of people with great ideas... But I also need to develop the patience to go through with those ideas... Am waiting for the 'Commanding Heights' movie today evening... movies are the best way of communicating a message... hope I can make my dream of making a movie come true some day....
