Had classes for 6 hours today. Then a guest lecture for 1.5 hours. No matter how hard I try, it’s difficult to keep myself awake for the entire duration of the lecture. On top of this, there are loads of assignments and readings to be done. Actually, it’s gone beyond my limit and I have made some compromises. If the same had happened in Term 1, I would have gone mad! But now, there is a sense of calmness and composure inspite of having so much workload. I have been visiting sports center daily…Reading various articles from internet..keeping up with technology updates..Chatting and talking with my friends..

The Corporate Finance examination, as predicted, was scrapped. Now, we have to prepare the whole stuff for end-term. Prof. Bhagwan Choudhry wouldn’t make our lives easier I guess.

I am little confused on the electives front. Still figuring out what major to pursue…Finance/Entrepreneurship/Operations & IT/Strategy Marketing/Leadership & Change management. I had Finance in my mind, but after some thought (or should I say confusion), I have marked my major as Operations and Strategy for the indicative bidding. The actual bidding starts in another 45 days. I would be clear by then…

I am planning to go back to IT and preferably in the operations side (No Business development). Since I had 3+ years of experience in IT department of Corporate Treasury, I thought I will get back to IT services in the Finance verticals or join a Finance company for their IT department. That was my intention to take Finance. But, I can take 3-4 Finance Electives (To major we need to take 6 subjects) and still keep my dream alive…So the confusion…

Some subjects have excellent course content, but relatively poor faculty. Some have excellent faculty and relatively poor course content. Only very few have both course and faculty as top-notch. That makes the choices even more difficult. Anyway, it’s all in the analysis.

The Second installment of ISB Tuition fees is due on September 1st. So made arrangements for the payment today…

I am also in the lookout for good Business plan and partners for Planning an Enterpreneurial Venture course. Some of my colleagues have come up with ideas like Chain of restaurants, Organic products, Retailing, Specialty women’s healthcare etc., I should soon choose my team…
