2 hrs before take off...

I am posting a few snaps that we took during the first week . Frisbee final win,the group song for talent night etc...The Drum band comprising of Megh and I did generate a few decibels :-)

I partied like mad during the first week here. Shyam told me the ISB parties are great and yes I must admit the 2 i have attended rock! Rain dance on 16'th night was super ..but the alum sendoff yesterday night at Student Village 1 was awsome!! There was ample space for loners like me . GR and mama made the occasion special. I did dance with lots of interesting people in bits...networking The B-school mantra:-) The Frisbee practice today was great fun. I have bumped into so many people I already knew here.A High school batchmate, Infosys training batch mates,Infosys colleagues . No one from Deloitte thankfully that makes me unique. I dont think i'll blog much once Term 1 starts ... Adios

I did'nt have time to get over the jet lag...the mumbai trip happened in a jiffy! I should say the hangover of consulting life has stayed with me.. Met the next generation of the Manjeri clan...Sharmistha,Aditya, Slokh ,Aansh and Manu . I had a great weekend in Mumbai..Kids are so talented these days...I was laughing,playing...making monkey faces .Shammu gave me a compliment too ...she felt I was cute..hahahaha..wonderful kids Oppol and Ranganath ettan were perfect hosts...has anyone tasted a beetroot ladoo before?? I did thanks to Oppol...I must admit my family has some great cooks... Air Deccan the 'no frills' airline needs to hire some better pilots..the air conditioning duct hung loose after we landed in coimbatore yesterday..courtesy the pilot who was overspeeding after we touched down . I saw a few relieved co passengers after we un boarded the A-320! I have been prompt with my running regimen..Coimby is hotter than Mumbai..I am off to Sabarimalai today

Came to San Jose yesterday night ...The Seattle skyline from the airplane window looked awesome. Have a few send off treat's this weekend before i head to chennai tomorrow late night from SFO.

I have a fascination for the temple town of Thrissur .My best summer vacation after i finished my 6'th standard annual exam was spent there. The Thrissur slang ,the Thrissur Round,Vadakkunnathan temple, the speeding buses ,Thrissur Pooram,Nandappettan's friends are unforgettable memories.This time when i went with Dad, many old timers remembered the 12 year old kid from Coimbatore who sat under the Banyan tree eating mangoes ,watching the buses race each other .I was trying to pick up Malayalam reading the names of buses those days... After 2 years of wait i get to see this classic again.I sat up till 3 a.m to download the movie yesterday . Every time I see this flick there is a sense of contentment .I think the climax has a lot to do with this . The movies keeps haunting me for hours after i watch it and this happens every single time. Especiallly the background score when Jayakrishnan first sees Clara in the rains ..wow ! Padmarajan's characterization of Jayakrishnan is f...

Exactly 2 weeks and 2 days to go. I came to the land of opportunities eager to go back in 3 months. I must admit ,these 2 years have changed my life .,my thought process ,my way of looking at problems. I have been lucky to say the least. Its been a wonderful stay . I am riding a wave am I? ..no i am not a surfer ,but I can feel the excitement of one. Work has been good during the last few weeks . Order Management geek ...nah ! Everybody in Deloitte had nice words to say .I think I did far better during my 1.5 years at Deloitte than during my 3 years at Infosys. The firm has treated me very well. I have been watching too many movies of late .'Brokenback ' was wierd .If you are not 'Queer' (Yes am using the same term as the protagonist did in the movie) ,you will find this one Wierd. heheheheh ...i can't help laughing at this line 'Capote' was much better..classy especially the climax ..Philip Seymour Hoffman has come out with a riveting performance.I hate to ...

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 startl...
