Shame on me, I couldn’t find time in a whole month to write a post. Yeah..yeah it is the initial months of a rigorous MBA but for one month (i.e) thirty days(or thirty one…whatever) I couldn’t manage like 20mins. How bad can I be at managing time? Simply Pathetic. And I haven’t done many other things either like…hmm….reading newspaper. I know the US presidential race is heating up, someone of Indian origin has won the booker prize and there is a big financial crisis….what was that big company that went bankrupt? I don’t remember……I am just kidding…..I am not that bad :))), I do know whats going around me but not enough.
I think it was the fourth week when we got our schedules and found out that we had an accounting test, QA exam and a WAC along with the most number of cases we have done till now for a week. We had to rethink our learning team(LT) discussions. When seniors told us in the first week that all the excitement will die down we didn’t believe that. We said “definitely not” when they laughed at us saying “don’t bother discussing all case, you wont even read some after some weeks”. Some were like “no way, we are not going to the class without discussing any case in the LT ”. Looking back we realize some practical thinking would have helped. Seniors definitely know something we don’t, otherwise they wouldn’t make that face everytime they see us :).
So then it was quizzes galore with one accounting quiz every Monday, plant visits, operations management games and never ending cases. Accounting(let me be specific, Financial Accounting) is finally over and though frankly I feel happy that it is over, I am not ecstatic like many here. Yes, it was hardwork but the learnings were many. I have a feeling accounting is and will be the most important course in my MBA. Let’s see whether my view changes in the future and more often that not, it does(you see, I am human :))) ).
I am not getting better at time management either. I still cannot figure out whether it is willingness or necessity but I spend most of my time studying like everyone else. But every MBA student around the world is doing that. No good MBA program is easy. Yet they find time and many student blogs I read are updated once in two days . Though they post that they don’t find time, they actually do , otherwise they wont be posting but the one reading(that’s me) doesn’t find time. Hope I don’t wait until the next term break to make the next post (oh…did I mention that I am in my term break and that’s how I found time to post). And I wear a t-shirt that says “ We blog, Therefore we are”. Shameless me!!
P.S : Last Friday, it was Diwali night and I enjoyed it. But dint really know why they had a gangster fashion show for Diwali :)))) . I cheered for my friend though.

Haha..nice one Yuva..probably you should look at this post regularly and draw inspiration for more posts in the future
I agree with Satheesh. Blogs are a great form of diary or journal that one can re-visit anytime. Not only can it provide inspiration, it is an accurate record of how one thought and felt about certain things (events, people, etc.) at a certain point in time. Such thoughts and feelings change and we lose track of their origins.
Thanks for the comment Prof. Your comment was exactly my answer in an interview when i was asked "Why do you blog?" and i got thru it even though i messed up the rest of the interview :))
