Back to Classes

New year started on a good note but soon everything around came crashing down ofcourse due to my stupidity. On 3rd went out in a T and played badminton and came back all charged up in freezing temp of Vancouver, though it was bright n sunny outside. I got cold - fever - cough and what not. Next five days were probably the worst of mine in Vancouver so far. Totally on bed rest, couldnt do much but hoping to recover soon. Last week classes started off and it was total chaos. So many things to learn but can pick just four. umm.. finally after one week of detailed discussions and board room meeetings (hehehehe), I have decided about the modules I am gonna pick. I would say its an informed decision and hope that it turns out to be a good decision in the end.

One thing is clear. Coming days are not gonna be fun. Lot of work .. lot of study .. n very less sleep. I thought core (Sem 1) was toughest but .. .. .. . Also need to initiate things on internship. LEts see how it goes. My first exp of trying to get in I-Banking was a failure but a good learning lesson. hoping to build upon that and move on. Had a word with second year students. They all are saying just one thing. Have fun in MBA. These are your best days. I am still not able to figure out how in this good world is this fun? May be I need to redefine my definition of 'fun'. Ohh yes.. u see my last posts.. I promised that I will have fun.. I guess thats the way to go about it. Tweak your definition of fun a bit and enjoy your studies and voila.. m having fun while reading those big books of Investments and Corporate finance.

Winter in Vancouver has just started to set in. Temperatures are normally below zero deg but yes there is no rain. Also if we are lucky we get some sun shine. Thats what I like about it.
Lets see how long this continues.

Today we got some sunshine. Alrite now I m going out to have some fun.
Motto for coming times: 'Attitude is the key ...'

Dreams, Hopes and wishes

YEar 2007 is here..
Wishing u all a great year ahead..
My motto for this year.. Work Hard .. play hard . .. while doing all this HAVE FUN.. it will add 'zing' to the life.. sometimes things are out of control .. sometimes we are lucky.. it is all part of life..
With this mantra I will try to live my year 2007. This is a pretty important year for me (as always) .. got so much of learning to do.. so much of action .. planning .. execution.. well I am really excited about all this.. Also some important decisions to make .. some pretty important ones.. I wish I could see future results of those decisions to make the correct decision :) but as we have been taught in MBA (will be reminded again n again during the rest of the course) there are no Bad decisions.. it is all about informed decisions.. so I will try to make more informed decisions.. rest is not in my hand.. I will work bit more harder and smarter... With so much going around it is natural that sometimes decisions will turn out to be the bad ones.. then I will try to have the positive attitude n move on..

my new year resolution.. ummmm not really.. thinking of one.. the moment I will have it .. it will be here.. help me guys..

its the last week of our vacation time before we start the grind again.. its gonna be tough.. after ths break time.. we have to hit the ground running.. some submissions in week 1 itself.. :( good days do not last for ever.. but there is something special about those tense hectic study days.. which I am sure each one of us missed in vacation.. its so much fun.. so many things to do.. sometimes you wonder is it all possible for a single man without clone to achieve so much.. NO WAYS.. well the truth is we have been proved wrong many times in the past.. so now I kind of believe that..
lets see how it goes..
with so many dreams .. hopes.. n wishes .. I prepare myself for the year 2007, at the moment the most important year ... wish me luck

.... Keep Learning and Working HARD
