The woes of technology

Worked on a pseud presentation all night - flash, awesome intro music, automatic slides ... basically the works. Goofed up the presentation on multiple levels:

• Only team to be dressed in suits... even the presenters were dressed casually :-)
• Carried the ppt on the pendrive - forgot all supporting sounds, videos etc..
• Summarized calculations on a slide ... left the comprehensive original calculations on a worksheet on another team member's comp.

At stake are sexy N97 minis :-( ... Let's see how the results turn out.

Cheers

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 :-)

ZZZZZZZ

It's been way too long since I've written anything. Maybe my blog feels like an abandoned one, but I hope to back soon .. with many many things to cover:

• Shodh Yatra - One week spent in Mizoram, without much of manmade luxuries to comfort me ... made some great friends, kept some strangers the way they were, introspected some, clicked a lot of photos, did a lot of toiling and finally blew up whole loads of money on plane tickets - Was it all worth it?
• Grudges and keeping them - I've been holding a lot of em lately and don't know how to deal with em ... Somehow I can't seem to keep the friends I make, no matter how well we start off - I need a course on relationship management?
• Umpteen thoughts about an MBA right after grad school and maybe a premature end to my tryst with education - was it really the right way given the blurry road ahead?
• Hypocrisy - is there ever escaping it?
• A saying I saw/heard somewhere - "Keep the things that don't make you happy away!" ... how my efforts to practice this have been going in vain :P

Cheers

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)

I've been a bad boy

In a completely non-perverse sense .... I might have managed to piss off someone real close to me - thanks to a late night "jump the gun" email, which I've already tried my best to get rectified... Hope things get better soon :|

Writer's block

How ironic is it that in the extremely busy first year I found time to start a blog and keep it reasonably updated... but now, in the second year - when classes begin at 11 am, end at 1 (on some days), the number of blog entries is negligible...

And it's not like I am subjecting my brain to some other extremely strenous activity either :|

So, start tomorrow, I'll try to post snippets from newspapers and my views on them ... hoping to get out of this writer's block :|

For the first time in life...

I am thoroughly enjoying classrooms and the learning experience ... Wish India had more of such educators ...

Tomorrow july begins, and so does a new routine of my life which has good amount of time allocated to health, study, work, liesure and general catching up with friends ... Let's see how long I can keep this up :-)
