Break!

I have been snoozing away to glory for the past two days. The last term was very taxing, physically, more than mentally. Non stop sessions with the study group, assignments, projects, and then the exams have surely left me exhausted as I try to catch up with my lost sleep.

Term 3 at ISB is the most exhausting term. Though many might not agree with me, if you are a CA, it is a lil easy as you have to fin courses. But CA's beware, and don't get complacent. It's not going to be easy. First of all, being a CA means your group is going to look up to you and you will find this the biggest challenge. Then, the corp fin course ain't easy. It is infact the best subject I have studies at ISB. The book, Demerzo, was really good and then our instructor Bhagwan was adorable. Though the non fin guys love him, I feel that he skimmed through some important concepts. But overall the pedagogy is awesome out here. I find that you will be pleasantly surprised to note that even the courses in one term gt linked somehow and you are able to appreciate an issue better. They say, term 4 onwards, the work load isn't going to be as much. Let's hope!!!

Last week was pretty disturbing for me personally. I am from Hyderabad and the blasts at Gokul Chat and Lumbini Park came as rude wake up calls. Hyderabad has always bee a peaceful city. I don't remember so much chaos and fear even during the 1993 riots. Gokul is a place frequented by students and I can still remember those days when I would go there to enjoy the wonderful chat with my friends.

Anyways life moves on. Term 4, I wait for you.
