Long time.. no see..
Folks, first of everything , Thank you for the wonderful b'day wishes !
I know, its been long I wrote something . Believe me , I have just been idling around. Anyway here's a quick snapshot of what's happening.

- I met a fellow Chicago GSB Admit in Mumbai this weekend and we basically went over things like- housing, are we waiting on other schools, when to enroll, resign and so on.
- Thought real hard on what all fellowships I can and want to apply for at the Chicago GSB. Believe me , I found the writing admission essays easier than this fellowship one. Its not so easy to write on economics and how one can help change the dynamics. I am going to work this one though before Feb 9 and fax it.
- Wharton interview invites have started to go out for R2 and needless to say I am hoping.
- To get any enrollment packet ready, I need my official transcripts and unfortunately my college has told me they wont issue another set of transcripts.Huh ! more following up there.

Office is a little laid back these days. This means I have a lot of time to read random things, Check out The world in 2007. I borrowed a paper copy from a friend.Some articles are really good. The TIME edition too has some good articles on the Global economy in 2007 and possibilities of economic slow down in US and its implications.
I have not got my laptop in operational state ( deliberately ) and I am kinda liking this wire-less-ness. Lot of time to chit- chat, reading and SLEEP of course. Nearly 8 months later I have began to cook again and get back to some art work as well.

hey, question for u
Why do you prefer Wharton over Chicago? Most of the ratings, Chicago comes first.
Posted by Sreenath | 8:56 AM
Chicago is a better place to be than Phily in terms of location. Its very similar to being in NY..otherwise you miss the fun..
Posted by Sreenath | 9:08 AM

all the best with Wharton and have fun while u can :)

That college you are talking about would never bend for studnts it seems!! Gave me a tough hard time to me too, the last time I was there... Would never agree for another set of transcripts... Did you try "I have lost my transcripts, now what?" fundaa?? :)

Belated Birthday Wishes to you..Do great..Enjoy the Colors Of Life..

I did talk to KK... Have been on good terms with him after organizing I-MAZE.. And guess what? He too was unaware taht students from SPU submit a photocopy of transcripts while applying!! He said he will look into it, but also added that probably your juniors might benefit - not you, unfortunately...
Thats how it goes... on and on.. :)
