Well haven't written for 2 weeks now ...
India bt Pak in the second one-dayer @ abu-dhabi and the manner in which Inzamam got out (the run-out) made me feel i can at best be the second best in being lazy ... dont know whether to feel sad or happy..i'm not the best even in being lazzyyy :(
Indian Stock Market bounced back this week and it was good to see some of my stocks gain :)..was studying how to value stocks and so invested in some of them ..dont know if this is a beginners luck or am i really getting to learn sthng ??
A year since i started the epbm course ...now that its over (time really flies)
was pretty occupied over the past yr on the weekends now i've to start thinking about the weekends again !! this is the first weekend after the exams...slept thro the day today just another instance of laziness getting better of me ..)
Not that i'm a voracious reader or anything but i've started reading a book called The world is flat (still in progress) by Thomas Friedman..its looking like a great read.. its on the ten most important factors that led to globalization (the berlin wall relation was truly great to read) !! sounds like a good book ..will post the details after i read
wow ..therez a booze treat @ 8 ..just the right way to start a saturday evening ..vodka is awaiting me in large smirnoff bottle..what can be more exciting on a saturday night? :)
Awaiting the soccer worldcup starting on june 9th :) although brazil is the favourite i want to see a england-brazil clash this time again and may the best team (england) triumph!!

Phunny Exams!!!

as i write this blog i'm half hungry..the rice got over after i started eating :(
I had to give my exams 1.Strategic Management(SM) 2.Corporate Finance(CF) 3.Marketing1(MM)
I studied a bit of CF so its answer paper would match most closely to the text book ..(dont ask % of match..such questions will not be entertained at any point)
In Marketing there was a case study on Nike with 5 questions ..questions were framed differently but unfortunately i felt all the answers should be the same..so had to mince with words using active and passive voice (thats the only grammar i claim i know)
SM question paper: Would any company reach its perpertual value because of its strategy ? (Yes/No)and explain with the cases discussed in the class !!
Yes/No answer was easy ..
Then started all the confusion ..Was Nivea/Titan/Reliance/Phuket-Beach/Tobu-cycles/M&S case discussed in marketing/strategy/CF/HR/Operations class ... shouldv'e been 1-1 mapping but it soon became many-many mapping (set theory).. who knows what is correct! everything looks perfect till the grades come out

All the while i was writing this _________________________
I was wondering why day light savings exist !!!!!!
"you cant change urself, so change the time" !! u also think about it !!!

Now that the rice is cooked ..i should go and eat ..
