Another week passes by and the course load is insane. Not impossible to manage, but definitely a lot. But then I was expecting this when I took up 6 credits .. wasn't I !

I spend an hour every Sunday practicing Salsa and working with choreographers for the Wharton Dance Studio event. There is a new found appreciation for everyone who dances well .. ever week I feel like I am going to give way or I am the worst thing that can move on two legs. Darn darn darn!

This coming week, I intend to a couple of mock interviews and a couple of practice case studies because I have interview invites from a couple of consulting companies. I better go and pay them my due respect for offering me the first job invite of my life.

The last couple of weeks have been spent doing a lot of introspection and I agree with the wise soul who said 'If you don't know where you want to go - any road will lead you there'. Funny, I've hardly ever know where I wanted to be in life and may be that is not that bad a thing eh .. But the more I grow .. the more I realize I need to grow up to take care of so many other people who've been a part of my life and to that effect I need to dream bigger and get on my path to achieve it. Bah .. introspection aside, I've been listening to a lot of music and getting friendly with the Xbox and celebrating b'days of pals and dining at expensive places..

I do get a lot of people telling me that I look rather serene especially during the tough recruiting season. Some people aspire to be as calm as I am .. but I do tell em I am calm .. because I've rarely wanted anything so bad that I'd lose sleep over it. As I was going through the MGMT 671 course, I get a sense that I've ignored a lot of what I've wanted for myself. I've been deliriously happy with my professional life, my family life and my community life. But I did get a sense I never spent time on what made me happy. My self growth - my space, what I want personally to be. Kind of weird to think about it now .. I don't have answers - but coming to Wharton has opened up far too many questions for my own self & I'm trying to answer them as I figure my way around it.

I'll remember that this is the place that finally allowed me to grow up .. I could have f**** up elsewhere, at any other point - but doing it here makes it easier

Dear pagalguy


I heard that there’s only one Indian IT male in the Wharton school for class of 2008 ( your class mate) I don’t know whether he’s in your cluster or not; but I am sure you must be knowing that guy..

would you mind telling us his profile?
As I see loads of Indian IT male junta on PG forums we have created a special thread for them check my signature…
so back to the point> you reply please


///yeah yea I know all those answers “don’t go by profiles” “have loads of other parameters” etc etc///


but still would you just tell us something about him?


what s so special in him that he’s representing Indian-IT-male crowd alone?

[pagalguy]

aim-wsc - yes, he is a good friend of mine and I know him since the day I landed here. I know he cooks well and parties well as well. Other than that .. um.. I have never asked him specifically as to what else he has been upto. Its not like you catch hold of all your friends and dig to till you find what they did since kindergarten

Dear Allwin,

we were looking forward to your response on the Question by Aim-wsc. If you can get time to check the thread in the signature, then you will notice a lot many people including me, are worried about the "Numerically Over-represented" IT community background. :robot: If you could give us some insight right from ground zero, we would be very grateful to you....:satisfie:

Also, it's an honour to read your posts so detailed, which give us a feel of what you are going through. They provoke our thinking like nothing has done before. Love to read it all. ATB for the recruiting season, and tell us more...

You know that makes us puys feel as if this world is not enough

Cheers,
Abhi.

hey allwyn,

you can invite that guy to PG and rest we will take care of .....just joking, i understand when you know so many people and simultaneously living life on the edge, u cannot know about every person in detail.

You can't be serious!!
Allwin isn't this an exaggeration? Really depressing if it happens to be the truth. Just because there are so many Indian IT males applying, does not mean that this demographic is "useless" or so it seems by the way some people/schools react to us. Especially some of these "Ask xxx" threads on BW make an Indian IT guy feel like he has opted himself out of the race for a bschool by choosing the path that he did!!!

Arent we talking of poseidon here?

@aim--I thought you knew abt this thread

http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/b-scho...questions.html

[aim-wsc]

if poseidon is that guy then hit me

i had done PhD on that thread.. but now i dont remember anything....
but neo I dont think he s the one because pagalguy knows that i know about poseidon...
It is possible for not inquiring about ones profile since that is obviously not fit into MBA etiquettes.

had it been some online forum pg could have asked for his profile but now i think situation is different...

@ankush : again i dont think that would work...
since he's the captain of the forum this wont look good for him, you know ,asking to join his forum
tragedy :( tragedy :(
