"Yeh Ishq nahin aasaan, bas itana hi samajh lijiye,
Ik aag ka dariya hai, aur doob ke jana hai" [Bashir Bader]
Just replace Ishq with "LIFE" and it describes exactly how do I'm feeling lately. It seems as if I've got caught in a 'whirlpool'. I'm moving constantly, but not moving ahead. The worst part is, if I don't come out of it fast, I'll certainly drown :(.
At times, it feels I misjudged my capabilities. I should have listened to my well wisher's advice and should not have got myself engaged in so many different activities. But I did exactly that, and now I'll have to somehow find ways on my own to come out of this "Chakravyooh".
For the time being, the fact remains that these days I'm not able to decide where and how to utilize my time for maximum, or for that matter, any output. Before I can come to a decision, time passes by, further aggravating my problems.
There is a brighter side of the story too. My analysis of current situation has made me realize that its my time wasting habit which is at the core of problem. If only I can get over it, it'll not be too long before I regain control of my life.
Whatever, I'm eagerly looking forward to my week long mid sem break, starting this weekend.

Old Memories
Just other day, I was talking with my wifey and she said all my posts on this blog are centered towards AIM and MBA. I should try to expand my horizon. I think she is quite right, but ...
May be I need not worry.. with time I'll grow up and start thinking something interesting too ;). Whatever...
It was a mail from yahoo, announcing that they are going to close down the yahoo photos server. This mail prompted me to download my old photographs of my engineering college days, from yahoo photos and save it somewhere safely. Which I did as soon as I can :).
While browsing my Lappy today, I came across this folder and ...voila... all the memories started pouring again and again like an avalanche.
I'm pasting some of the pics here, starting from first year (1998), till class of 2002 night. I hope some of my friends from IITG will one day come across these pics and will thank me for reviving old memories. Memories which are certainly some of the most cherished ones. Of days, when we made friends for lifetime.

ISB in Top 20
Don't think I'm free these days. In fact, I'm not. Its 2:30 am and I've to complete MC's presentation and also have to read 02 cases before I go to sleep. But then it does not happen everyday that an Indian MBA school gets a rank in the world's top 20(http://rankings.ft.com/global-mba-rankings).
I've always believed that ISB's biggest strength is its Institutional marketing team. Sure they also have great infrastructure, excellent visiting faculty base, quality students and deep pockets. But these factors alone can not explain (at least to me) their meteoric rise to fame in only 5-6 years of their inception.
I may sound cynical in criticising ISB's achievement, but in my opinion this time their marketing team has faltered. They are taking a huge risk by choosing to walk on this thin rope. Probably they should have waited for a few more years, before pushing hard for this result. Sure, it's a big achievement and would bring them instant fame and publicity. But what about the risk when they are not able to meet the expectations? Are they ready to meet majority of incoming students expectation of getting a salary hike of 129%. I don't think they are their yet.
