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!

The laziness and lack of work in the past 4 weeks suddenly ended with a slew of assignments and exams! I seem to have taken the courses with the most exams! Still have 2 more to go... :(
Sent a lot of my stuff to Bombay... seems empty... the room and the stomach... leaving ISB so soon... one year has just whizzed by...

Am waiting for the weekend to go by, then there's the Goa trip coming by... then graduation! I know these days will zip by... and although the activity will be fun, there will be always be the thought of leaving this place.....

Just back from a trip to Nagarjunasagar. Good fun! A trip planned at 4.30 a.m. in the morning after watching a couple of movies, turned out to be a fun day!

Sometimes...I wonder why some things happen....Other times, I feel like taking it as it comes...!

I love Term 8!!! Just came back from the Dunking competition - mega dunking session with lots of games, and got thrown into the pool about 10 times! The days are passing by rapidly with lots of fun and games...am planning to get back here for the orientation to meet the next year's batch. It is indeed one of the best times of my life!! Looking forward to much more action in the coming days!

Cheers!!

Came back from an awesome trip over the weekend! Srisailam - a nice temple town. Went boating to caves later on, and then a secluded waterfall/pond. The highlight of the trip though was an unplanned ride on the top of our bus through treacherous hilly terrain!! With our hearts in our mouths on many sharp turns, we had the best roller-coaster ride ever! It was a bit risky, but fun! Met some new folks, and got to know some old folks better! A great trip with great memories!
Unwinding now...bunked some classes to rest...will watch a movie now... Good month of rest and fun! It's coming to an end now, and that's sad....

The last mile...
The last few days of ISB are turning out to be relaxed and soaking in the last few moments of the eventful year here. Of course, there are mixed feelings for many people, but that is bound to happen with each one having his/her own take on the life here and how much one has achieved. I for one, have had a great year, a great education, met great people and landed a good platform for my future career progress - so, its all great going at my end!
Taking each day as it comes... one of the best ways to lead my life! :) playing tennis, partying daily with pals, movies, etc. I will surely return to the student life later in my life - that time it will most likely be politics... MITSOG is an option... but not for the next 5 years.... take it as it comes is a great mantra for long-term plans...:)

The mood is relaxed... boredom threatens to set in...and we finally wonder what we want to do with our time...now and once we join our jobs...
An MBA takes the sheen off the corporate world's 'glamour' and I wonder how long I will be able to enjoy the corporate world even by becoming a CEO...
Time is the only thing at a premium...use it wisely, use it to reflect and think over what you want to do with the remainder of it left in my life....
