ISB Calling!

July 16'th(05) -->Oct 8'th(05)-->Feb 27'th (06)

The day i broke my arm at college inn , I knew that the incident happened as if it was all preplanned. I sat down fighting depression,homesickness and all the negative thoughts that would surface everymorning . The only support that i could cling on to was faith that all things happen for good.

The 3-4 weeks prep for GMAT gave a not so great looking number on the scorecard.Some people suggested i take another shot at the test.Still I stood by my faith that if July 16'th happened for no fault of mine ,then something good is in store.

Today morning I woke up to start working at 6.00 A.M .I saw this gmail pop up flashing that i have made it to ISB PGP Class of 2007.For a moment i thought it was a nice dream ,coz the results were expected to be out tomorrow.

I didn't react for a while ,all that happened was a tear drop falling on my mouse pad!
Woke up my roommate and thumped my fist in the air..poor guy he was startled by all the frenzy

Sometimes there is some force that shows us the light when we are lost in the pitch darkness of life...

Faith it is ,Faith it will be ...God is great

Mylapore Experience

Jai and I went for a carnatic concert featuring the Ranjani-Gayathri combo. The queue outside the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan hall clearly showed thier fan following. The rasikas consisting mainly of 'mama-mamis' with thier trademark filter coffee flasks made the evening lively. The highlights of the concert were the 'Thodi' kirthanai ,the meera bhajan and the tukaram abhang in that order. I thought the crowd lacked discipline , quite few cell phones ringing and people leaving the concert before the mangalam piece. My dad told me about the mylapore 'mess'(mess= restaurant) culture. We went to Mylai mess that was opposite to the B.V.B hall for dinner. The place has hardly been renovated and maintains its old legacy even today. The menu card is also very typical of the Madras tiffin culture . I had Badam halwa , Kichadi and podi dosai for dinner. As usual I must elate... it was Yummm!!! Not the most cleanest place but yes i felt the place has preserved its soul :-).The

Its been 4 years since I wrote a line here. 2020 has been mostly peeping out of my window in Bangalore and nothing much!  I feel the urge to change- shake it up a lot these days. The mind tells me I haven't found what I am looking for... Discovered Chris Martin and Cold play :-) Yaay! Feels like the real life starts after 40. The optimism and adventure of younger days  have given way to accepting life's realities
