Ajay - On the Road called Life

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 [...]

After intense internal and external debates, hours spent on pondering and an equal number on (re)searching, I finally selected my electives for third semester.
So, here goes (number in brackets are number of credits):

Finance Electives
Corporate Finance - Theory and Practice (4)
Financial Statement Analysis (4)
Mergers and acquisitions (2)
Operations Electives
Supply chain analysis design and modeling (2)
Project Management (Ops) [...]

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 [...]

Can’t believe my last personal post was on March 4th.. Then we were just getting into the exam spirit and a lot has happened since then.
For starters, we had to get through a barrage of exams, that just didn’t seem to stop. Everyone desperately looked towards March 29th, the last day of the exams, also [...]

The past week I have followed a rather standard routine.
A sample process flow for a day is given below… note for sake of readability it has been shown as a single flow, however it is a vicious cycle.

Today was the reFCQ for Six Sigma. We were surprised to find a 45minute theory paper given for [...]

Well, our batch (except for a few bookworms) are definitely on a rollercoaster ride this semester. Every single FCQ that comes our way seems to be a major disaster.
Because of oversmartness or sheer stupidity, a perfectly well going FM paper was set on the path of ruin. Finance students are now in a state of [...]

Spent the entire day today in the classroom for Sales and Distribution. This is back to a full day of lectures after several months now.
Didn’t feel a wee bit sleepy as can normally be the case and sat through eleven hours of the same lecture. We covered a good amount of the portion.
Have finally opened [...]

As of today, the Admissions Process has finally come to an end. The Final Merit List for SCMHRD is now available on the website.
Admissions work at SCMHRD has been an excellent experience indeed. We did everything that was to be done, right from designing every single page of the brochure to sending teams on drives, [...]

At the time of this post, I have been awake for 24 hours, of which almost all of it was spent in the admissions room.
