You mean "like" as like Robert Pattinson? :P

Last night.. boo hoo.. even after I ate out 'cause I had a team meeting and had to rush to the univ after lunch. I love cooking but I hate doing the dishes!
35. Are you currently depressed?
Why should I be? And even if I were, my blog would have cured me or I'd have talked to my family/friends or cooked or watched a movie or read something. I don't like being depressed. It makes me feel a lot less than near perfect.
36. Did you cry today?
No. And I will never again for a person/thing that doesn't deserve it. But when I get emotional/ watch a good movie/ read a great book, I tend to weep. My lachrymal glands are hyperactive :D

Didn't want to keep my readers waiting for too long for a new post. And tags are the quickest things to do.

anywyz, i ain't taking this one up cause thanks to bubbles i did it last week!!
anywyz, dat weather thing was really smart....
btw, just a q.. wer r u studying MBA?
you hv a good sense of humour
@ da rodent
Thanks to Dada. It was his suggestion. I could have got a Dell, but their bottoms get heated up pretty quick. Scary!
@Manoj Vasanth
Ummm.. "Good to know " what? :O
@Bubbles of FireWhisky
Lol. Wait till I get a job, I think I owe you a gift - moral obligation for writing a post that cheered me up :) Keep bubbling
@Sam
No way! Not until the next one and a half years. My laptop is my study table ! Then you can have it for free :D
@backpakker
Lol. Thanks for noticing. It is what keeps me alive :)
Ah!!! well... i'll wait, I guess... i ain't giving up den!!! :D
@Sam
Lol. Patience pays sometimes. I hope the Biometrics still works by then. The fingerprint recognition is a cool feature but they still need to work on it. I heard from a friend his laptop wouldn't recognize his fingerprint anymore! Crazy ! I am not sure if it was a Lenovo though.
Wharton MBA? hmm...thats the real deal...kewl....:)
@kp
Yeah. That's the real deal. Where people get recruited as VPs and are offered a base salary of 40k per month. (Don't even try to think of the annual salary) What a pity it's in Pennsylvania, otherwise I'd have checked out what they feed the students in their cafeteria. Maybe I should content myself with neighboring HBS and Sloan School of Management :D
u r pursuing ur MBA r8??? MIT??
"recruited as VPs and are offered a base salary of 40k per month. (Don't even try to think of the annual salary)"
Point taken...my perspective is different...if i am Wharton MBA graduate..i wouldnt work for someone to help them make more money...i`ll start my own company(become Entrepreneur)...I am sure..i have enough "good brain cellS" left to come up something of my own....(this only exist if u arr wharton grad)...:) we`ll let u know nxt yr when join the MBA club(wharton is long shot but Impossible is nothing...or at least worth giving shot)....:D
@sam
If I mentioned Sloan as my neighbor, then it is definitely not MIT. Elementary, my dear Watson. And Process of Elimination (POE -a crucial tool for potential GMAT takers )
Btw, how is it going to help you to know which univ I am in? :D
Since you are so keen - I'm in the University of Massachusetts. You could have easily found that out in my orkut profile or by browsing the names of sites I frequent listed in my blog or even by reading my previous posts. Sorry to keep you waiting. Have a nice day :)
ah well... am working out my apps now... so just asking!! and am not too familiar with teh geaography there... as am concentrating on UK!! :)
btw, GMAT has already been dealt with!!(thank god!!!) :)
@sam
And that my dear friend , is just the beginning of a B school entree :D All the best with your essays and personal interviews then :)
@KP
Tsk ! Tsk ! Not global are we? What about INSEAD, France or LBS, UK? They have a reputation of their own. And you don't need to be an MBA to have an entrepreneurial spirit. Steve Jobs didn't even graduate! You can start right now. And you can trade you security for your freedom.
Also, try drawing a business plan. It's a good exercise. By the time you finish your first draft, you'll realize how far away you are from the market place. And how much more well baked you have to make it for a state agengy/private equity/venture capitalist or even your own university to finance it !
All the best for your GMAT and admissions. Do let me know when you join UPenn. :)
hehehe....if i ever make it to Upenn...will certainly let u know...:) u r right we r not global...certainly we r the best...we run the whole world...:)Good point about Steve Jobs .....without a degree he succeded....Trust me some of my close family memeber became entrapenuar(without a degree) after landing in this country in late 70`s...i agree with you..abt degree is not required...but unfortunately time has changed...one certainly requires education to succed in life!
P.S. sorry for making ur blog public discussion page...i just read the tag and read Wharton MBA and thot u r from Wharton...:) Its your space No Offense to u in anyway !!!
@kp
That's not an offense! That's an honor! Btw, someone I know (who is King Midas in his own field ) told me that the first rule of business is to take nothing personally. :D
It's a discussion forum, why else would I make this blog public ? :)
# 29 - i like that, i really, really like that.
and i see your no one favourite is karma yoga - that swami...whatever he spoke, he has that thing to lash u like a whip.
oh!! i am working on it.. and trust me its driving me nuts!! absolutely nuts!!! grrr.... why do have to ask such questions??? damn as if I have seen the future!!! for all i knw i might cease to exist 5 yrs from now (i rather make that 50, but then...)... crap!!!
hey...i visited my blog after eons...but yes, i'm kid bro of sumit agrawal :)
was he ur batchie ???
@~Lord Anshul
Nope he is senior to me anyways. Was probably in school with someone I know. Met him randomly in orkut way back in 2004. Remember him because Sumit and Arnab saw the salad days of my initial orkutting days.
@sam
You have to bluff convincingly - that's what once a Prof told me about writing essays in high school. But in B-school admissions, you have to believe what you write or they will see through it. They process zillions of applications each year! I know this phase can be frustrating but grab a coffee and get over it. It's more like discovering yourself than anything else :)
@dharmabum
Took a long time for me to realize it too :) But as I mentioned before- the first rule of business- take nothing personally :)
oh, i like that rule. but i don't do much business. my rule is the bum rule - take nothing. period.
exactly... i think i have discovered myself a 100 times over.. and everytime hated the recent discovery more than teh previous one.. anywyz, would be done by them in about 2 weeks time... and den start scooting them off to their destinations!! phew.. it's such a bloody job!!
