13 months and still battling

When I came 13 months back to Vancouver to start the MBA program it was all fun. The energy of leaving my previous firm and joining the MBA program was thrilling. The program is so energetic and the professors wisely and the best of the lot is the friends I have made. There are so many nice people in this world. I would say rather than the MBA course I have enjoyed being with the friends whom I have made here. 13 months and still battling.....
A typical day for me now is to wake up around 7 am ( even though the alarm starts ringing at 6 am) and reach the school by 8.15am. Ipod is my mate here and has haled me through alomost all the difficult travel times. It all starts with a coffee before the class and then it starts. it is so much fun that i always end up forgetting what I did the day before. After the class it is back to sqaure one. Go to the MBA lounge and play Foosball for sometime. Oh yeah i am getting addicted ot this game as I am improving... :-) Nothing great about, but still water in a desert... Then comes my first food of the day. An oatmeal or a Nature Valley Grain Bar. Another coffee goes inside ( thanks to Tim Horton's and StarBucks). Then the teamwork or cases or assignments or if not anything bullshitting. hahahahahaha..... Then it is lunchtime as I look into my watch, coz the time is 3 pm and I have to get my lunch. All the things are always associated with a coffee. :-) Another class of boring work.. but satisfaction inside the heart of doing an MBA. Back to team work and assignments. The time is 10 and have to get back to home. The same old bus and the same old pod with me..... Reach home, cook some dinner ( almost always noodles) and get the lappie on... Time for some chatting and some individual work. Now a days the added pressure of the part time work is also taking its time. Everything boils down to the fact - "more work".
In the day i would have heard the terms Economies of Scale, peer pressure, management almost 100 times. It is said that the word which is used the most in a day is "Hello" and the it is "Coke". But I guess for an MBA student it is "IT DEPENDS".

Anyways at the end of the day (which is always 2am the following day) when everything is calmed down then its time for some online movie watching and at last hitting the bed...

It has been 13 months and I have battled.. Now only 3 more months and after that even I am an MBA student.

By the way did tell you that MBA means Master of Being Alcoholic and not Master of Business Administration. :-)

Cheers
Mahesh

Swami Nityananda, Bhagavad Gita & lessons for us.

The word Nityananda literally means "Always Happy" (Nitya - Ananda). Looks like our Swamiji has taken one step ahead and has interpreted the word as "Female- Happy" It is way beyond realisation as to why people do it. Well, I guess that's how it is supposed to be for common man like us ("beyond realisation"). It is very discerning to learn that people who are at the position of intelligence or who preach intelligence and spiritualism set examples like this, there by disposing the very common man of his/her faith in the process. Spiritual process is a way beyond what these godman preach and I am a little dazed to point my finger and say the mistake is in our part. As often said, the person getting cheated is to be blamed, I personally feel that the people who gets entangled into this net is the one to blame.Controversial, but just my thoughts.The article below is an ample evidence for the same. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Godmans-flock-sign...

My First Post

Wikipedia Definition of BLOG: A blog (a portmanteau of web log ) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries . A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art ( artlog ), photographs ( photoblog ), sketchblog , videos ( vlog ), music ( MP3 blog ), audio ( podcasting ) or sexual topics ( Adult blog ), and are part of a wider network of social media . Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts. In May 2007,...

Peru - Land of good people and amazing place PART 2

Fourth Day: Cuzco ( http://picasaweb.google.ca/vnmahe/Day4?authkey=apjUHFqNuH8 ) Today (Tuesday Aug 5 th ) was a break day for me. I requested this day to be free, so that I could explore Cuzco on my own and also to visit places which I thought was worth a second visit. I started by visiting the Sun temple Qorikancha again and then visited the adjacent museum. Next stop for me was the ‘Templo y Merced” museum. This little known museum has the world’s second largest pearl placed on 1.3m high solid gold statue. It was amazing. One funny incident that happened was when the guide was showing the group the Pearl, I was scratching my head as to where it was. When they told me it was the second biggest I thought it was something really big. But it turned to be in the shape of a fish and the size of a small stone. Well, anyways the trip was worth it and the entire place was awesome.. There was a place inside the museum where a person in the 16 th century lived for 12 years...
