Had the Maharashtra MBA CET 2006 Group Discussion / Personal Interview today at SNDT, Juhu.

Since the rains had descended on Mumbai, I decided to take a rick instead of the bike, which turned out to be good, though expensive.
Unfortunately, the rickshaw broke down on the way and I had to change ricks, before which I got a little wet.

Anyway, reached the place well in time.

Got my one mark for Work experience, which kinda sucks since I’ve been working for almost two years!

Instead of sticking to the batches, we were combined into a batch based on the number of people there. The GD had 12 participants.

We had to choose from “Globalization: Good for developing countries?” and “You cannot choose your battles, you have to take them on as they come”.

Group consensus was the former and almost everyone agreed on it. One thing I realized is that it was a fish market. Did get in a word (more than one actually) twice. Am pleased because both occasions saw them all stop and listen

The GD ran for around 20 minutes and a little while later I had the PI.

It was taken by two persons, though one did most of the talking. Had an interesting PI, where he quizzed me only about my job.

Am now awaiting results for both, which is expected on 10th.

Decided to go shopping for rain shoes and coats. Stopped off at the Bata in Andheri East and picked up a good pair of all season. Paid a bomb but I am happy as they are very comfortable and effective .

Next stop was for the jacket and pants. Picked up a good set.

Had plans to go out in the evening, but these had to be cancelled and the light rain turned out to be a downpour. So sat the rest of the evening at home.
