Ajay - On the Road called Life!

Semester 3 is definitely lighter than the past two semesters, possibly because I don’t have admissions work
Have spent the last week interviewing juniors for the Corporate Communications Team. The interviews have been mini-ragging sessions in themselves.
Some members of the junior batch are really bad, while some were really good. This time the selection procedure [...]

Had originally planned on reaching college on 15th morning, however certain changes postponed my departure to the 19th.
The last few days in Mumbai were extremely painful as the day to leave draw close! Spent a good amount of time with Marise on those days
Set off for Pune at about 8.30am on 15th, got the [...]

I kept running out of storage space, so finally picked up two Western Digital My Book Essential Edition 500GB external hard drive, one for me and another for Aditya.
They come in sealed boxes complete with the essentials to get it up and running.
Installation of the hard disk is extremely simple. It is accompanied by [...]

Went out with Marise after work on Tuesday. We decided to go to Sheesha which is on the terrace of Shopper’s Stop in Bandra.
The place is dark and expensive. Food was good. So no complains.
While we were there, the skies decided to open up and Mumbai got its taste of the monsoons this year. It [...]

Had a real good week at work, wherein I completed all my projects and got myself rated too (decently I must say).
And, a good week deserves a good weekend which is what I got.
Marise asked me to go out for dinner with her and her cousins. I haven’t met any of them except Sanket last [...]

This day last year, more than 180 students found their way to a Business School in Hinjewadi. The school was Symbiosis Centre for Management and HRD and yours truly was one of those 180+ students.
The first fortnight at SCMHRD was crazy. But, that was just the beginning.
What followed was a crazy semester during which Ravi [...]

Dad’s down for another day and when he is down, we usually set out for a father-son-on-a-bike-visiting trip. This time the destination was banks. We visited five banks in the area of Andheri and Vile Parle.
We also managed to grab some vadapav and sugarcane juice, both of which will be eternal favourites for any [...]

Marise came over last Saturday, as well as this.
It’s been a while since I had a pizza, so we ordered two pizzas from PizzaWay, which is where I normally ordered because they are tasty and cheap. This time I was told there was no deal available, but bargained my way into it. Hey! I am [...]

This last week (since Saturday) has been rather painful in some aspects. For some strange reason my head started throbbing Saturday evening. I assumed it to be lack of sleep and so headed off home from Marise’s place.
Went for mass at the Sacred Heart Church in Worli on Marise’s invitation. She wanted me to do [...]
