Lost my way around. Again.

It’s been literally months since I fired up my Live writer. First of all, apologies to all of them who asked me if I had stopped blogging and I replied that I was just too busy. To tell the truth, I have no idea how (or why) time flew by in the past couple of months.

Some times I had nothing to write,  and at other times when I had some thing, there was no time. Whichever be the case, I was somehow kept from being the tarmackisser. In the month of November (or was it October) I appeared for my first MBA end semester examinations. The days were a blur. All I can remember is 4 hour sleep time and daily 2 hour CS 1.6 sessions with my roomie without fail. It wasn’t until a month later that I found that I had miraculously passed. Interestingly, I wasn’t even in town when the results were out.

Apart from that, the IT team finished development of its new portal, ImprinT. Somewhere in the middle of December, I along with two other classmates of mine got shortlisted for a competition being conducted at XLRI, Jamshedpur. (Note for noobs: XLRI is considered the Mecca for HR/IR in India.)  It was a whole lot of fun, travelling through 5 cities in a span of 12 hours. Pune to Mumbai to Delhi to Ranchi to Jamshedpur. By the way, we won third prize there! The other winners were stalwarts from XLRI senior year. A point to be noted here was that I engaged in some serious networking during this trip and I hope the reap rich rewards for the same sooner than later. lol

Nothing much has changed in the new year. New year resolutions are still made. And broken within the first week of the new year. As usual, I hadn’t made any. Oh! I almost forgot. I gained a few inches around the waist and some chub on my cheeks. So, I kinda sorta started jogging!! And missing a few richly prepared meals of the SIBM mess hall. Hope to get back into shape soon. I wonder if blogging would help me lose me some weight. ( Maybe that could motivate me to blog more often ). Sigh**

Had a mad night out in Mumbai one evening. It was an awesome trip, featuring the now world famous Gateway of India, the Taj Hotel, The Leopold cafe, the new Bandra Worli sea link and of course Marine drive. The city was electrifying as ever, the crowds noisy and thick even after midnight. After the 2008 attack, the Gateway of India has been literally turned into a fortress like stronghold with heavy gunnery and patrolmen stationed all around the Taj and the Gateway. The heightened security is a sight to behold.

And finally, the thing I had been waiting for had arrived. Need for Speed hot pursuit 3. It is sooooohooo cool. I like busting them cars up like tin cans, and doing 400kmph on the Veyron. Uff uff. I could go on and on…Anyway, the SIBM Pune admissions process is underway and thus I and several others like me have become “buddy”s for the aspirants. I must take leave now to attend to my Buddys, but fear not for I will be back soon. And how. (That’s a rhetorical question, not supposed to be answered)

Later.
