Ajay - On the Road called Life

During one of our lectures last week, a lively professor was telling us about his MBA life at IIMA.
When asked about the tests that they followed he, as part of the conversation decribed the experience with five letters, viz. R-A-P-E-D.
We got a taste of that this Saturday.

The last ten days have seen four FCQs and the results of my Micro Economics FCQ. Got a 7 on 10 which was so surprising that I rechecked my results.
As for the new FCQs, we got Research Methodology hit us like a bag of bricks. Passing is now questionable. The others shouldn’t be a problem [...]

It’s been almost a month since my last post. And it just goes to show how tied up MBA life has kept me. Based on feedback from seniors this is going to be the case for atleast another two or so months.
A lot has happened since then, and I’ll just be summarizing a few of [...]

Just a short note to say that I am alive (atleast for now).

Thankfully my Mom and Marise stepped in to ensure that I leave properly.
I made [...]

Did have mass on Saturday evening, which was to be the last mass I will attend here for a long time now. Got back home immediately after mass and wrote the [...]

Having finished off my two interviews, I just had the manufacturing unit visit left. I had zeroed in on my neighbour who runs such a unit manufacturing industrial products.
Since, he wasn’t in town, this was on hold. Have hoped to finish off all the Field Assigments by tomorrow and am glad to say I am [...]

I didn’t become a doctor because of one reason, I can’t stand the sight of blood. However, as per the requirement from SCMHRD, I had to get tested for HIV. I don’t know why this is required and why they can’t conduct it there with the other medical tests we have to undergo.
Anyway, I decided [...]

Finally got down to studying at full shot. Have completed the entire Maths portion. Computers is easy so what remains of that will be last.
Went for choir practice yesterday after quite sometime. Picnic plans are being made for June 3, but by then I will be in Pune.
Received the email today with detailed reporting structure. [...]
