Back to School after 5 years

Before joining the school , I had a lot of questions .. Will I be able to study ? How will it be in a full time school with exams and assignments and what not? Now, here I am .. Studying several courses at a time and these questions seem meaningless!
The transition from a professional to a student could not have been smoother.. Having said that, I have to point out that this student life is as well nothing short of professionalism! The MBA programme, specially the one for experienced guys, helps keep the professional in you alive. During several discussions in the past few days, I have been forced to delve into the past to bring out my experiences related to professional life. These reflections help you keep the professional alive. I believe more than any thing else, these reflections are the best mode of learning. You read something, reflect and find new perspectives developed each time. The more you delve into it,the more interesting it becomes. With this I remembered that before I get involved in this interesting topic again, I must complete my assignments .. :)

Orientation Week Begins

Hard work is in the offing... has been the important ingredient of the talks so far ..
3 Days in the college and boy , it has really got us moving .. if one thinks MBA is a cakewalk .. better be warned.
The activities planned by the Alums have been amazing to get all of us together and to prepare us for the MBA experience at ISB.
The incoming batch looks quite good and the bar is being raised continuously at ISB.. This year the GMAT Avg score is 706 :)

Joined ISB

ISB is absolutely fantastic :)
Registration was very well organized and coordinated. The processes were simple and convenient ! Got the bank loan santioned from Andhra Bank .. laptop from precision and go my ID etc .. and yes, a RED coloured T shirt as well!!
Andhra Bank needs a special mention for customer friendliness .. the processing took just 5 mins and unlike SBI, i didn't have to write letter etc .. seems like AB has a good understanding with ISB
Students are amazing .. within a day i feel at home. Met sharath .. and few bitsians ... Feels like heaven :)

Cheers !

I still have a few questionnaires( for the preterm modules) to complete and have to take copies of several documents to ISB on 15th.
Its exciting these days ... am just dying to be in college now. :)
