Last Lap

Now just a few weeks left of my MBA. Needless to say it has been a great experience. Probably the two most interesting years of my life.

This term has been a gentle breeze compared to the gales and cyclones that were there in the previous terms, especially in the first year. The profs are cool about things, plus the students are even more chill. Though I thought there would be a bit of stress during the placement process, but luckily, it went off without much ado, and I got a decent job.

The sixth term has been one big party and an extended vacation. Ushered in the New year with revelry and celebration. Had a boisterous New Year party in campus, was suitably sloshed and enjoyed cavorting with friends here. The venue was the badminton court, and outside it a bonfire was lit to keep the North Indian Plains chill at bay. We were up till about 4am in the night. After that also had more rollicking parties, and certainly a few more to come.

The highlight of the term, apart from the placement was my win in the General Quiz of Manfest, which is the inter B-school competition organized by IIML. The quiz was conducted by Gaurav Sabnis, who is also an alumnus of IIML. It was a fantastically organized quiz with lot of interesting and workable questions. The pedigree of teams in the final was also good. But luckily I and my partner Ted were in crackling form and managed to outscore the competition, the win gave us immense satisfaction.

Rest of the time has been spent reading books, watching movies, serials( on the Comp), matches. Also am thankfully devoting time for exercising, it is fun in winter, one does not get tired quickly and sweat much, and even if one does it feels good.

Have improved my stamina, can now jog continuously for 4km, planning to extend it gradually to 5km, which is my all time record when I was in Pune and used to go to the University jogging track.

Planning to make a few posts on some informative talks that I attended during Manfest.
