29 Nov 2009


A fateful day in the history of SIBM Pune especially for the batch of 2010 and going further for the (last?) finance batch of Kali

8 consultants... offerred on a platter was unadulterated pfaff, it was too tempting to let go. True there were apprehensions about going back into IT (or so we belived).. but not me, I was happy and happiness was me.

Lets get into details.. my third interview in as many days.. wanted to get in the first one, wasn't very sure of the second one, broke thru the barrier in the third... and thus almost completed the MBA saga. I say almost coz the third sem hasn't been very kind. My boat may be left high n dry in at least a couple of courses.. hence the wait.
In retrospect I sometimes ponder should I have waited for the rain and not got lured in the drizzle but again since when have we started trusting our MET dept predictions.
A couple more showers have been thr on the hilltop since then, the results have been disappointing to say the least. Hope the outlook brightens and we get bumper crops a-la vivek subbu (For the uninitiated drizzle was the early bunch of recruiters and rain was when the whole process was kickstarted officially)

T(critical)


Critical, all important, life changing moments, they come and go. How prepared can you get for them? Are you complacent? Didn't you know this was coming? Questions I often ask but a constant lackadaisical attitude is to blame mind you. It just doesn't help.
Very easy to blame it on something but ur conscience and get away with it. Life is so easy, its only my attitude to blame, that doesn't let me enjoy it.
First screw up of this season, and it ain't just any season, its THE season for which I climbed up this hill coming all the way from namma bengaluru, leaving my loved ones behind, full of expectations, after labouring so much its expected of me to put in some effort, but no, for me life has been easy and this too shall somehow come around for me right... what a rosy and hilarious assumption. Looking at Bugsy cursing himself for the day he was born (for the nice birthday treatment he was getting) made me think if I too will be brought down to face reality with a similar shock albeit, it will hit where it hurts and it won't be physical pain i'll be cringing with.
My my... it was scary enough, hope this dosage works and i get to some serious prep.
Blogged after a long time, but with overhanging ominous.
Lets all sit and pray!!
p.s Sachin hit his 43rd test century.. ppl keep doing what they're supposed to do, just posers like me are happy with false pretences and held up by others expectations.. wake up chokre!!
