term break is almost coming to an end... : ( and what a lousy break... was at home most of time doing assignments... terrible... i did work a bit on my resume though, and hope to refine it even further in the next couple of days... also started reading 'Kotler' finally.. what is a marketing MBA major if kotler has not been read...am enjoying it too... realized the value after the 'brings-you-crashing-down-to-earth' MKTI exam set by the maestro himself - Nirmal Gupta...

I did manage to go out to catch a movie and had a couple of booze sessions too.. that's the key... moderate the workload with the right amount of alcohol! :)

last month of the year... and the last sane month on campus coming up... next 2 months will be frantic, and the third and fourth months will be active frenzy... the moods of ISB continue to swing... hopefully upward all the way!

Term 5 exams over! phew! tough marketing exam... proved how little we really know about marketing! finished watching a movie - 'scent of a woman' - awesome acting by Al Pacino! Tremendous script too! Next 5 days of the so-called-break will be busy with assignments, and planning for the placements... The stupid season will begin in a couple of months.... Am heading back to academic life sooner....than later.... :)
Until then, I'll be a marketing man!

yeah, yeah... it's been a long while since i blogged... more out of laziness, than work - the latter is my usual excuse, but not this time! :)
Have been having a very nice 5th term.. .subjects i really enjoy, not too many assignments thanks to selecting some courses which have a balanced workload (i dint plan it, it just happened)...electives came at the right time, when core was getting a little out of hand! am sure the grades in my core terms will see the entire spectrum once all of them are out!
just attended a mind-boggling session by prof nirmal gupta... he is absolutely the best professor i have come across... am so happy to have not only taken his course but also like the subject so much! simply awesome professor!
its time to do a final 2 months of soul-searching, before the placement season hits... sad... but am very sure my academic pursuits will continue after a short break of work-life! :)

Diwali festivities just over... got back home at 3.15 a.m.... went for the music show, then cracker-show, and then a get-together at friends' place... very nice, festive atmosphere, and the weather is awesome too! Will remember this Diwali for sure! Everything is a first and last in ISB, and that is the real pity.. :((
But am making some good friends, and also meeting and knowing people I did not know in the last 6 months... so, am happy :)
Happy Diwali!
