August 2008

If u look in to my "Previous Post" section, u'll definitely notice something. There is at least a post for each month, since I started blogging in March 2003. However there is no post for the month of August 2008. One may think, it was because I'd nothing to write. However, the fact remains that I intentionally did not post anything in August. By using this small trick, I was able to erase August 2008 from my past on the blog.
Alas, I don't have the powers to erase it from my life too.
Now, August 2008 was certainly one of the worst month in recent past.
I could not clear CFA Level-II. A big setback :(.
While deciding to join AIM, I'd set this short term goal to clear CFA Level-II before I graduate in December 2008. Now I can not achieve that target. I did come pretty close, but failed in the end.
If this was not enough, my daughter broke LCD screen of my laptop and also damaged my mobile by pouring water over it :(.
However, the biggest setback was that for the first time in last 14 months, I felt as if things are going out of control. To be honest, I felt insecure, underconfident, lost, and unsure as to how to bring everything under control. One of my senior, with 4 "I" in his resume, was not able to get a job of his choice. And this was worrying me about my own prospects, considering the fact that I was looking forward to switch sector.
Thankfully for me, as the month ended, things are looking more promising.
I'm hoping that, like indian movies, there will be only happy ending for my MBA at AIM :)
