Whirlwind, catch up!

It’s been a wild ride so far at ISB. I’ve been here for just over a month, but it feels like I’ve been hanging here since they wrote the vedas. The path to school, the view from my student village, the café, the classroom…seem to be seared in my memory, partial credit due to the Hyderabad heat. Goodness gracious, it is HOT out here! I had my coat on when I boarded and good ole modesty prevented me from totally disrobing when I landed here. The orientation week was the most fun I’ve had so far in Nizamland. The alumni (’08) were so into organizing the week’s activities and did a great job breaking us in. They’re an insanely talented bunch who set the bar so high in pretty much everything. I’m sure that the current crop is equally good, but mainly thinking about next year’s harvest week at this point!

I was worried that the transition back to school after a long break would not be easy…but now I’m worried that it may be over before I do anything about it. Anyway, I hope to be a regular blogger post mid-term. Yes, mid-term! Already got done with a couple of exams today. One went fine, but I don’t have a warm fuzzy feeling about the other…and don’t really know what hit me. It just felt like a cargo plane from Massachusetts decided to unload a ton of bricks on me ;-)

Excited about tomorrow ‘cos we plan to venture into the world of mortals who btw have no clue that we control their levels of satisfaction oh so indifferently with a curve, and their needs and desires with a line. For those of you (non Economics majors) who don’t understand what on earth I’m talking about, trust me – I don’t either! All I’m looking forward to is hitting this place so aptly called "Liquids" in Banjara Hills tomorrow. That’s it baby, living my life one weekend at a time – nice, slow, easy and not too sober if I can help it.
A big shout out to Nate...if you still read my blog.

Good luck with your 2nd term.
I wish you gave us updates more often! I miss your writing. :-(

Satish, the mortals back here working for Big Brother are rootin' for you.

- The spec team will be toast next month without some key players.
- The West Side of the beltway is not cool. Got any good podcasts for the road?

I don't know about Nate, but saw my old blogroll on Driftwood and wanted to say hey. How's the lovely TF doing?

And what is up with you? Banjara Hills as in Banjara Hills? The Banjara Hills? You back in Bharat now?

And coincidentally, (very), am one step closer to realising a 10 year old long dream myself - if all things go well, I'm going back to campus next year myself. For a Masters in English. Wish me luck :).

And hey!
