And you are….

The IIM Ahmedabad mailing group rocks. Lots of emails on laptopts, edu loans, loan rates and so forth. I guess many of us know each other a lot now. Theres this chatroom that has somebody there always. Theres a lot of chitchat about gaming and trekking and sports too.

But there is a real sense of apprehension too. People have overcome the euphoria of getting admits. For some time it was downright gloomy with talk only about sleeplessness and assignment pressures. The seniors in the group have a done good job of putting things in perspective though. But I am still pretty sure that none of us are even remotely ready for whats going to happen.

My travel plans are through. Will land up at Ahmedabad railway station at 6:30 the morning of June the 25th. I hope I can meet up with some fellow fachchas there and get a ride to the Insti.

Bigger batch this time, a lot bigger. More the merrier I guess, but with relative grading who knows… but 279 is an all time high….

Dad tried teaching me accounting, double entry bookkeeping. I thought material science was vague…. not anymore… Economics is interesting though…. I think I am getting to like it… but I guess IIMA is not about what you learn, but HOW you learn it….

And what if I dont want to be a hero….?

Read this anybody? BBC news has an interesting story on the Jessica Lynch episode. I dont like great fables being proven otherwise but this one real hit my all top high for things going yuck all of a sudden.

Had a terrible few days with the dentist. I had a whole collection of last molars which went bad. He did more cutting and mining in my mouth than those ancient egyptian guys making one of those ultra confusing tombs. At one stage he actually stuffed a grinder into my mouth and a ground a filling down. Theres still some work left to do… I have hajaar medicated bits of bad cement swising around my mouth as I er.. type…

Went for a buffet at a place here, lots of arabic food and some Indian and Chinese things thrown in for the masses… They had an arabic dessert called Ummali which though it tasted like soggy corn flakes in milk, really caught my fancy. I basically hogged on lots of vegetables and that heavenly mediterannean dish called Humus. Excellent stuff, click on it to get a recipe. Pretty healthy too. Atleast I hope it is.

Got a bit of fanmail for the blog over the last few days. Guys do me a favour and spread the news will you, I just hope that publisher out there is looking for me…..

Be with the force all.
