Snakes , Photo Shoots and Gossip

Image
Saw 2 friendly snakes on campus over the week . High probability of sighting one i must admit . Got invited for a ISB photo shoot ,this was another random event . News spreads thick and fast on this campus . The final version of the friendly snake story was that the snake tried to take a shot at my eye and i had a narrow escape . Gossip at its best . I don't even know if the group photos we took will come on the ISB 2007 brochure. Neither do I intend to have another close encounter with those snakes. Wild wild ISB ! I have to finish my statistics lessons gosh...

More Parties

Image
The ISB crowd does work hard and play harder. The Thursday night bash at Ahala ,Taj Krishna was full of action. Drinks were very expensive ,thanks to the white rum i gulped down at SV 3 before leaving I had some fire in my belly before I saw the drinks menu at the lounge. We did our first assignement yesterday and have one coming on Wednesday and between the 2 deadline there is one nice little party squeezed in tonight :-) Looks like the ISB recipe for student life is parties sandwiched between assignments and quizzes and topped with some end term tests.I am having a great time ,made loads of friends . Yeah Manu made me attend one Salsa class too .I don't wanna comment on the feedback I got . I think its better to stick Tambi Folk and Urban Dappankuttu for naturals like me !!

ISB Fun ,Section Snaps

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 :-)

Parties and ISB Crowd!

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

Mumbai,Family and Kids

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
