Roads Blocked due to low rainfall....

Huh??

Is that the first reaction to the title... well despair not comrades... its my sick attempt (again!) at humour...

The Gods have been very stingy with their downpour of scores... was expecting a storm but instead got a draught.... :(

Anyways.... I shall save the slow drubbing death that I am giving you all reading through this.... My Gmat sucked.. if I could stress any better.... it sucked so bad... oh well..I'll let that train of thought pass on...

Thus, the verdicts out... All the roads towards ISB have been blocked until further notice... and to be honest, I have no idea whether there ever would be a notice saying otherwise... was so close...but ended up being so far :(

A new begining to what???

Hmmm.... well i left the last post a bit abruptly and wanting for information i guess...

actually i was writing tht post sitting on the train.... yeah yeah.... am just trying to flaunt tht i was able to get online even while on the move....thanks to technology....with the well built laptops and GPRS courtesy Sunil Mittal's Airtel ;-) Of course not to forget lalloo prasad yadav himself...coz without him there prob wouldnt have been a plug point in the train...and without a plug point i wouldnt have been able to remain online for a long time.... :D

coming back....

why did i quit?
Whats the next step?
Where am i and what am i doing ?

A Brief Disappearance???

My last post...25th march 2007??? Not Happy...not happy at all..... this was not what i had intended on doing.... but well....harsh reality....not been updating it one bit.... could give various reasons for the same....was not doing anything abt walking on the road.... was lost in my own dream world where everything was rocking good...and then suddenly thunder n lightning struck ;) most of the things came crashing down...now on the path of slowly regaining a hold on my life all over again...

Well well well....now lets see where do i stand...despite the fact that i havent started doing anything abt treading on the road to ISB....one thing i have been consistent with is keeping myself updated with all the blogs related to ISB....end of the first term in the current batch.....realisations of most of the people abt their experiences.... their expectations before they had joined and the ROI (as they have begun using a lot) from ISB !! Its been a pleasure reading all abt this....a regaling (??) experience... each n every post has been written so well...makes one feel as if you were there seeing it all with your own eyes n experiencing it.... it has helped me in seeing n trying to find an answer to what it is that i really want....
it has also brought up another new found question in my mind....."Am I ready for ISB?" "Is that where i should be?? "
Despite the thought that each and every one of those experiences described in the all the blogs get me to say "yes" the fact that those are the moments that i am looking forward to.... i am forced to sit down and have a re-think.... something similar to probably what Rajat (Mishra) from the current batch went through and finally decided to join IIM,A
He had the support and encouragement of his batchmates,professors n everyone else.... right now i have to do this bit of thinking myself.... not very sure where to turn for help other than my family for their opinion but then how much would they be really be able to help???

Another of life's small little tests.... (mid term probably???)
Until next time....Au Revoir :-)

Why this Title u ask..... (Target: Class....)

Well well well..... An interesting but silly (!!) story. Read on....

I have always been interested in joining ISB for quite sometime....dont know why but somehow i was able to relate with their teaching style, infrastructure and well all that jazz...

but being interested was always never enough.... i hadnt done anything about it...just kept working....
anyways...recently out of curiosity i was searching for ISB on the community section on Orkut and voila what do i see.... two communities of ISB that interested me.... "ISB Aspirants" and "ISB Class of 2008"

And well seeing the class of 2008 community..... i figure that this is for all those who are interested in joining for the batch of 2008 (obviously so...right??)....well i join both these communities but am actively keeping track of the "ISB Class of 2008" community...coz well u knw i am suddenly all so gung-ho in being focussed abt joining for that batch. But well slowly the more i kept track of that community the closer i came to realising that that was actually the community for all those who have already cleared or waiting to clear round 1 and 2 interviews....
what i see there are all talking abt which school to join.... LBS, INSEAD,Dukes,IIM's and what not....

God...Did that realisation hit me hard (I know silly me!!!) ..... but well what can i say... guess over ambitious is what comes to my mind now.... i hate having to unjoin from the community... honestly.... i mean have enjoyed going through all those posts from the various admits.... i had/have people going through my profile on orkut (checking me out...hee hee hee) and here i am sitting wondering what to reply to their nice comments (Rajat, Alka,Aditya..... )

Anyways... so now i guess u would be able to understand why i have titled my blog "Target: ISB Class of 2009"

The Beginning.....

All Right here goes nothing..... So i have created something that i never thought i would... for that matter never had the patience to read anyone's blog.... the only bookmark related to a blog was that of my sister's and her friends (kischk) which due to some reason (??!!) is not functioning currently (meaning not update since April 2006)

But well this is not abt them having one or updating it for that matter. This is abt me and my path to the ISB Class of 2009.

Starting Today, I intend (Ha !!) on keeping track of my path to the Indian School of Business, Hyd, India
