What day is it?

It was Mother's day yesterday. I would have said today had the clock on my mantlepiece not told me ( and glaringly so) thats its past three in the morning.
Coming back to the point, while working on one of those never ending assignments, somebody declared that it was mother's day and we ought to be wishing our mom's on the day. Now in an ideal, very different day, the day would be spent of course wishing moms, then indulging in the debates on the pros and cons of celebrating these Archie Card initiated card revenue increasing days ( at last count, i believe they had covered almost 100 of the poor 365 days in the year, am still waiting for the day when they call it Chaos Day though), and then finally not giving too much of a damn ( i mean do you really need a day to remind yourself how much you love your mom or pop or sis or bro for that matter).

But Ennada Rascala.......Mind it ( and thats a word ive picked up, about one of the most useful learnings that ive had so far, :D). This is ISB dude, and sometimes all you know is the sun went up and the sun went down. Thats all.

So its been two weeks of classes, and classes, and more classes, some group assignments, futile attempts at making sure your head does not leak like a worn down bucket all the time, and of course those moments of marvelling at how long you can stay up without sleep. I assume i still have some more energy left in me for some more marathon sessions, but its best to save your best for the worst right?

Oh and yeah, the elections for the GSB of the school are due to be held soon. Should be fun, given that i am not the one standing. You know, the humble me, giving way to other people and letting them have the chance. :D.

We had the Dumb Charades competition the other day, and well my team won. Chalo, kahin to nautanki kaam aayee. Was really beginning to wonder whether i had done anything of use in the past 25 years of my life. :-s.

But one thing about an MBA education is, and something id always like to point out, it tends to always ground you a lot. I mean you might have developed a hundred ideas about how things should be, and then you interact with people with so many backgrounds and you realise things might not be the way you perceive them. No that doesnt mean you change your opinions, its just that you begin to appreciate more about the mutiple sides of the coin.

Heavy stuff? wait lemme give you this problem about building the confidence interval to decide the hypothesis testing conducted in a controlled variable scenario with alpha , 0.000028.......:D

relax .......kidding.

Adios till another random of these responses.
