Sitting in front of my computer.
Staring into her eyes.
She staring back into mine.
Both wondering how to beat the sh*t out of each other.

Back on track.

With GOA trip down the drain.. thought would enjoy a couple of movies.. but the first one.. Dr.StrangeLove was quite a turn off.. nothing better to do.. other than run and read.. I think I will get back on track.. so GMAT here I come..

just read somewhere.. GMAT is my religion .. my religion too for the next two months..

Flurry of activity…

Met two desi students from respected B-Schools (Read top 5 in the world). If I may say in the meeting place of their choice. Meeting friends in chai ka dukaan to meeting B school students in 5 star hotels. seem like a giant leap to me.

Frustration from work made me take a compulsory outing. My friend Negat|ve Creep decided we should meet the students from Chicago GSB who were visiting town. The candidate we met was a stunner. Beauty, Brains and Bank balance. Phew!! Quite a bit of reflection on Consulting and Chicago GSB.

Doc thought it was time I stop beating around the bush and start doing something useful and sane about my MBA plans. So here was his idea. He took me to meet this man who was a pass-out of LBS (eMBA). Couple of years older than I, but the intellectual difference was evident like a red stain on a white shirt.

I thought I was an early starter. But here I am.. a late bloomer.. miles to go before I sleep.

Derailed

I know... I know it has been a long time… one month to be precise.. all work and no play makes GMAT studying an impossible and daunting task…

Just appeared as a lightning. If you have not decided on a date.. you can never prepare on a moving target.
1. Have not been reading..
2. Have to take up a diagnostic test
3. Have not yet booked a date
4. Did not realize it’s a month since I have not studied. Phew!!

5. Have to get myself some holidays to get into the grove.

Solution:
1. Will start today. Fixed a buy in 10 minutes after arriving. So can chill the entire day.
2. Will take diagnostic test on Sunday after 2 days of acclimatization.
3. Will book date after next month’s salary.. no money heeeehee..
4. Can’t cry over spilt milk. Will just go milk another cow!!

5. Also a job change on the cards, leaves me with less than two months to prepare… Just asked for leave so will be off for 2 weeks… should avoid the temptation of me going to the Bangalore film festival.

From Fountainhead.

It is not in the nature of man - nor of any living entity - to start out by giving up.

Some give up at the first touch of pressure; some sell out; some run down by imperceptible degrees and lose their fire, never knowing when or how they lost it. Then all of these vanish in the vast swamp of their elders who tell them persistently that maturity consists of abandoning one's mind; security, of abandoning of one's values; practicality, of losing self-esteem.

Yet a few hold on and move on, knowing that that fire is not to be betrayed, learning how to give it shape, purpose and reality. But whatever their future, at the dawn of their lives, men seek a noble vision of man's nature and of life's potential.
