ISB Days

This blog is to chronicle the one-year I will spend pursuing my management education at The Indian School of Business, Hyderabad. Hope it brings up great memories when I'm old, dying and viewing this on my laptop at home - in a grand villa!

its been a strange few days... although there is not much work as far as assignments are concerned, it's been quiter and more 'thinking' days than usual.... many more such days will be coming up, as placement season looms closer... am not quite sure what the future holds, but hope to make a mark in the field i get into... couple of subjects are shaping up well, getting to know more people, and also thinking of ISB getting over.... weird feelings... but have learnt to live with them, as life cant be all planned and smooth... its raining quite a bit, and that adds to the serious mood....

its been a hectic few days... finally, got 4 courses, so am now fully set to begin my first elective term.. the marketing-implementation and negotiation electives are truly the best! am so glad i bid for and got those... it's been hectic also due to the dandiya practice! after all those years in bombay when i dint go for dandiya, it's been a great few days practicing dandiya, taught by the student expert on all types of dance! nice way to begin the term, and am enjoying my courses too... Now, the term will get busy, busier, busiest....

term 5 has started... awesome class on mktg implementation followed by decent classes in consumer behavior and negotiation... need a fourth and will bid for rural mktg... hope to get it, and cheap too... its nice to study mktg full-fledged now, since i want to do that anyway after graduation... lot of ppl i know are still having trouble deciding what to major in... its not easy... for me it works coz i eliminate what i dont like and what i'm not good at... and also i have liked mktg since a long, long time...
its nice to also know ppl from across the batch in the elective sessions... more interaction = better network.
but, now placement stress is creeping up... it will be deadly during the placement week... yikes!

Term break is almost coming to an end! I feel mostly happy, and a wee bit sad. Happy coz everyone will be back, and i want to get studying electives of my choice now... Sad, coz I need more time to reach my 'term-break' goals... havent completed most tasks I set myself... none of them too critical, so am ok abt it..
Term-break has been good on the entertainment front.. went out a lot...and watched movies, read books, etc... But would have liked to meet my other goals of practicing guitar, etc too... well...
Spent some time with my team on the IIMA competition... it's nice working with a fun and intelligent team... Back to bed now... Snooze till the morning, and get some work done during the day...
