Told'em !!

Yes, finally I told my manager that the recommendations he wrote and the interview he helped me prep resulted into an admit. I had anticipated some mixed feelings, but I was glad to see him happy for me. WOW ! He's been one of the better people I've worked with and though I have not put in my papers officially, I felt morally compelled to tell him 2 months in advance so that he, my team and the customer all have time enough plan for projects.


Ok, so the tougher part is done, but list of to-do doesn't seem scary at the moment , I've decided on my housing, almost decided on my room-mate, have been talking to an interesting mentor and will send in my FRS and documents tomorrow so all that remains is sit back and plan one more Heritage tour. I know I am sounding like a freak but that's the whole thing about diversity !

What's up with Inblue ?

Don't ask !

She was working crazy on a project she working on. She's so scared to talk to her manager and tell him that she's gonna leave soon. She got her Chicago Enrollment packet but still to open it and read it ! She took time off to go to one of World Heritage Sites ( Ajanta Ellora caves) she always wanted to go to.

Work has been crazy to the extent that I am in office until the very last hour before I catch by bus for my vacation, hardly any time to pack. That does not mean everything is bad at work. Rather this has been a good professional year for me and the results and rewards have been great as well. Alas ! This only complicates things when I'll go to my manager( who has been very supportive of my MBA application process) and tell him I am going to quit. :(

After almost a week of time off, and a great time off, I'm still to put in efforts to see what's happening in my Chicago world. But for now, its very thing non MBA. Ajanta and Ellora was one of the best holidays I've ever had in life till date. Never learnt, never lamented and never excited at once in a single moment ever in my life. The paintings and carvings( some of them are intact from 2nd century B. C) will leave you dumbfounded at the skill of the monks who created them.

On another note, what happened in Virginia Tech was so gruesome and scary. Makes me think, does Education always enlighten and mature people?

On the MBA front, I still need to check the Enrollement Packet Chicago sent and fillout the FRS to get that I-20.
