Awesome!!!
You really inspire..


To love when it can be lost, to go on when progress seems futile, to believe with every fibre in your body to hope, to live and to never give in.....

If they have Chinese, maybe they should have 'sub-continental' food too. Maybe you can work out a weekly menu!

All in all, I guess it worked out great for you. You probably don't need anyone to remind you this but 'make the best of those two years'. All the best.

Mate, that is so true! Its going to be tough to find stuff interesting for you guys through any extended period of time. I dont want to start blabbering about my personal stuff here - but more about my experience and thoughts about this school.

So I dont really know if this thread will last two years, or even a year ..but I will try

The kind of work ex is extremely varied, and the average age of entry is 29 and the avg. no of years of work ex is 6. But that is what it is, just the numbers. They arent too indicative and need to taken with a pinch of salt as they are just the averages and people reside on either side of the numbers.

nice one dood ... great read man . Have you met / spoken to other entrepreneurs on campus , how are you going to shape the progress over this yr & the next one considering the vast choices of subjects ... is it like taking up what sounds intresting & useful or a collective inputs from the class as to choices ... group studies , classes ? i hope i made sense

PS : MBA student sleeping a lot , sacrilege ... How come you are not shouting nightouts , 2 - 3 hr dozes per day etc , im sure you must be making it up in some classs or the other

I can give the people of PG what they want , video of PG dancing ... bole to upload karun
