It’s been 5 days since I wrote last the entry. Let me make an assorted entry!

Had a battle with my PC for most part of the day. My system has been slowing down rapidly, throwing some weird pop-ups and the Disk-busy icon was always on! Cleaned up the virus, defragmented the disk and registry, organized the files, transferred some files to CD and uninstalled unused applications. Planning to backup the important files in the next 2 days.

Nothing much happened during these 4 days. I have been making slow and steady progress towards my write-ups. I am expecting most of the work to be complete by Wednesday night.

In the take-home context, I mentioned to one of my colleague, “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence”. He replied back, “I don’t know about that, but the grass is definitely lush green on your side”!

It’s a kind of overdose for me, when people repeatedly point out to the fact that I don’t have any timed-exams [In Lunch, In Dinner, In Quads!!!]. I was explaining to them it is not fun to have take-homes..But after some time, began to psyche them out, by lending DVDs, reading non-academic books There are always two sides…either you take the pressure or let others take the pressure…!!

Enough of take-homes! I got all the courses that I bid for Term-6. In fact, I got luckier and spent only 1 point for 2 courses. I am taking the following courses:

1. Pricing
2. Marketing Metrics
3. Business Performance Management
4. Corporate Mergers & Acquisitions
5. Outsourcing and IT-Based Business

I have also finalized the groups for all the courses except Pricing.

One of my very close friend, who studied with me for 4 years in Engineering, who worked with me for nearly 6 years, is getting married in December. I would like to attend his reception atleast. Not sure about the schedule and workload in next term. So need to take a call on that front…

I attended couple of telephonic interviews for ISB Admissions. Quality of applicants is good. Tough task ahead of admission committee in finalizing the selection!

BTW, have a look at the following article posted by Indian Blogger. The article highlights 5 key lessons that an IT engineer can learn from the rejuvenated Indian Cricket team. His article will be published in some local dailies shortly! Good stuff IndianBlogger…
