The Anegundi Chronicles – Footboard Travel and Beyond
Most of my friends who undertook a two year MBA program had a summer internship in between the end of their first year and the start of their second year. I know of people who've been to London, Singapore. Goa, Bombay, coastal Kerala (as if there is any other) and so on for their 'summers' as they're called in the two-year MBA world. My MBA is [...]
Lecture Theater Fundas
Back in the days of undergrad, we had class rooms. Three rows of long lines of benches in a room with the Professor standing in front and me sitting at the back, doodling, dreaming, writing lyrics of my favourite songs or erasing dirty stuff written on benches. There were two doors, both of which strategically placed on the teacher's side of [...]
Sleepless in Guntakal – part 1

Seriously.) After having thrown a [...]

The other rite of passage that one requires to be [...]
That Is Totally Sweet
Eleven days into being a student again, and I've finally got some breathing space to get back to my bleg. Ironically, it happens to be in class, and not in the confines of my cozy quad. As someone pointed out, life on campus is like an expensive holiday so far, with everyone hitting the gym, indulging in all-night Bacchanalian orgies, [...]
Harithekid Goes Back to School
Within 24 hours from now, I will be an alum of the Indian School of Business, having joined the class of 2010. I will have completed registration by tomorrow evening (or as I might have said in a previous life, EOD tomorrow) and commenced my one year PGP in Management in Hyderabad. The standard definition of 'alma mater' is 'Nourishing Mother [...]
