Of interviews and cults...

Placements time is here again, and although I've been *part* of four placement processes at IIM-A now, things are way too different when you are in the process rather than running it. For e.g., as a student rep you are aiming to get 300 commodities placed into 100 firms in the best way possible. And as an applicant you are 1 unique person looking for that 1 unique firm that can be your springboard to a splendid career. It is and has been very difficult to change modes from one mindset to the other - but I think I have the hang of it now!

On a lighter note, found this utterly hilarious video on a colleague's status message. Has brought a smile to many faces on campus; hope it does here too :)

Late night tubing

Nearing the end of my studies at IIM Ahmedabad, somehow I find that sleep eludes me for long long hours in the night as I get geared for the upcoming placements season. Hope that good amount of prep helps me get that one chance at a dream career ... in the meanwhile, I take a break with the following video :-)

234

Is the number of days that have passed ...Condemnations flew, people swore, dear ones cried and the world watched. Today, some memories seem to have forgotten - politics, economics, budgets and the rains seem to have taken top priority. A look at the following videos brought back all the hatred, fear and helplessness.

Do not watch the videos if you are weak at heart (it takes courage to acknowledge the same)

Back with a bang

Back to amdavad ... second year has begun and I'm enjoying every bit of it (also getting bored with the free time on a sunday morning)

Here's something I found cool ... and it doesn't seem too far away in the future -

Youtube again :)

Here's a sweet short (not really that short) video about smiling. Coincidentally, I've been in a perky mood ever since exams ended. And I've decided to go with the short span of happiness I have instead of worrying about the happy moments being lost to some impending doom; and I'd recommend you do the same ...

Remembering Techfest

I was once a part of the Techfest team at IIT Bombay. That was probably the best group of people that I had a chance to work with. And I see that my successors are trying their best to keep up the name we have striven to create. Looking at the video below makes me nostalgic and want to go back and be there once more; maybe I will, given the extended weekend that IIM strived hard to deny us...;)
