My last post was in Mumbai. And here I am back again posting from my home city.

Returned to Pune after Diwali vacation on 30th itself to make sure that we study for the Corporate Finance and Software Project Management exams on 1st. Well, study we did, but managed to mess up SPM

The rest of the week passed by with some good, some bad and some really really ugly papers. Well, January 3rd is the tentative date for the results.

Had originally planned on leaving for Mumbai on 10th itself. However, I had to attend a student interaction session by the NAAC team. Symbiosis International University is currently being accredited by NAAC.

Namrata and me set out for Mumbai by the 7.15am bus. The driver refused to take it through Parihar Chowk and insisted on taking the bypass route. The drivers can be really frustrating at times.

The MSRTC bus turned out to be full, which is rather suprising for a Tuesday morning. Anyway, got into the Neeta bus which got to Mumbair rather fast. Ended up watching Tashan on the bus. I really wonder how they allow some Bollywood movies to be made!

Got down at Santa Cruz and picked up my bike from Jana who studies in NMIMS. The bike runs well, but as usual I plan on getting it serviced tomorrow. Have a lot of riding to do this week.

Not sure when I’m heading back to Pune. I’ve got to start studying for my upcoming placements.

The last week has be very crazy. Having worked on our Financial Statement Analysis, we finally submitted the same on October 2. Our presentation was rescheduled for 8th due to the upcoming summer placements.

Spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday cooped up in the vipasana hall working at the helpdesk for the summer placements of the juniors.

I’m not at liberty to discuss this, but I can say that we did a good amount of work, spent a good amount of time doing all kinds of activities and lastly eating and drinking till we burst!

8th was a packed day. Woke up early in the morning to give a 7am final exam of Corporate Governance. I have no clue why we studied that subject!

Next had the FSA presentation to give, immediately followed by a Social Entrepreneurship presentation.

Following the class I had to work on the Software Project Management presentation which we did for yesterday.

Last evening and early this morning went towards the preparation of the Six Sigma event that has been going on today and tomorrow.

The rest of today has been rathe lazy. Have another presentation, this time on SAS scheduled for Monday. We have no clue what to do!

This always happens at the end of the semester and this time is no different. Have an extremely intensive week lined up with tests, presentations and assignment submissions.

Here’s to give you an idea about the same:

30th September – Supply Chain Modeling FCQ & Social Entrepreneurship presentation

1st October – Corporate Governance Final Exam

2nd October – Financial Statement Analysis Project Submissions

3rd October – Software Project Management and Financial Statement Analysis presentations

4th October – Mergers and Acquisitions submission

5th October – Supply Chain Modeling assignment submission

All this calls for a lot of sleepless nights and worse

The last two weeks have been busy, as usual.

Last week had a Software Project Management class followed by which I caught a Volvo to Mumbai to get away from the weekend long powercuts. Spend time with the special someone.

Came back to Pune and immediately got down to work with my FSA case. Was called away by my director to help restore the contacts on his Nokia N96.

After struggling for a good amount of time with trying to use Nokia Contact Manager to import the CSV file, I realized it was easier to do the transfer via Outlook Express and Nokia Sync. Everything went perfect.

Got back to Financial Statement Analysis yet again which took up the next two days.

Today, attended the first day of the Luxury Marketing symposium today. Well, I won’t be buying any Luxury brands for sure!

There’s yet another day of the symposium left. I also have my summer presentation to be made tomorrow. I’m already all set to go.
