MBA Updates

I have been accepted into the Kellogg School of Management (1 year program) as well as the Harvard Business School for my MBA.
I dont know which one to go to. It's an agonizing decision. Which one, dear reader? Which one? 

Some very mature ways of decision making I have resorted to -
- if I see two mynahs , it;s a sign I have to go to Kellogg. If I see three, I have to go to Harvard.
- if the bus arrives in the next one minute, i have to go to Harvard.
- if the leaf falls off the branch and touches my right shoulder, I go to Kellogg.
ad infinitum, ad infinitum,and so on.

Current Kellogg 2nd year here - if I'm being completely unbiased and impartial, I believe that Kellogg is the best option for you. Simply because.

youre probably one of the few people on the planet who have the fortune of actually having to make that choice :)

Enjoi it while it lasts, and then have fun once you decide. The best way to live your life is to stand by what you do and have no regrets.

And puhleez...dont forget us when you go back to your country. it wont be nice without you around. :(

Old Wrongs

How do you you right old wrongs? There havent been many, fortunately. But the few gnaw, bit by bit, inch by inch, at your peace of mind. They linger and fester. Mock at you. They shant be silenced till you have the courage to go back and right the wrong. Even if the other person(s) has moved on and can scarce remember what you are talking about. I am feeling reckless today. One of my biggest and oldest wrongs was when I refused to walk to the medical shop to fetch my sister pain killers when she was in agony. This was when I was in 6th grade. They say children can be cruel. But I was no child. It cannot be explained away. I still am frightened about my capacity then to be cruel. I have never apologized to my sister. But I have, ever since, tried to never let my sister down. But an apology is long overdue. I am sorry.

A Thoughtprovoking Discussion

In our LEAD class, we were made to read a bunch of 10 year and 20 year memoirs of the HBS Class of 1976. The ensuing discussion in class was thought provoking. We went on to desribe our personal take on 'what is success'. It was an almost touching experience to hear how my very accomplished classmates measure success. And let me tell you it wasn't just coming to HBS or getting awards.  One said his immigrant grandfather taught him that true success can be measured by how many people attend your funeral. Because when you die, people don't owe you anything, except for respect. Another said, success cannot be achieved if you pursue success. Instead if you pursue happiness, success will follow.  Yet another said that maybe success is not just about yourself and is actually about striving for the success of others. I wont go into mine, because I think anybody who reads my older posts can pretty much get a sense of it. In fact, someone had written my thoughts better than I h...
