Sunfeast Marathon'10

Last year i was in Zurich when the Sun feast Marathon was held in Bangalore. Having seen the videos and the photographs of the participants, i had decided that i will participate in the Marathon this year, if i am in Bangalore.

Fortunately, I am in Bangalore this year and will be participating in the marathon. I have been practicing for almost a month now, although there was a break of ten days when i went home. Yesterday, i inched 10 kilometers for the first time. Although it took me 1hr 15 mins to finish the 10 kilometers, I am now confidant that i will be able to run and finish the 10K marathon.

Should you join IIM Indore?

Caution: Readers' discretion is advised. The views expressed here are completely personal and the point of view expressed here will vary from individual to individual in the same batch. I am not responsible for any fall out arising out of your reading this post on this blog. Someone asked me on my views on whether a new student should join IIM Indore given the batch size. Well, I will try to cover certain aspects that will throw some light for future applicants. Having spent two years here and more so because I am part of the first graduating batch of size 450, I have developed an understanding of things that work and that do not work at Planet-I. I believe that these views are more pertinent for people with 3 or more than 3 years of work exp but nonetheless these views are universal as well. Although, I believe that freshers have very little at stake in studying at an IIM, be it L,I K ,S or any of the new IIMs. As far as the size of the batch is concerned, yes 450 is a huge...

The tears and joys of Cooking!

What is one constant struggle that thousands who live abroad or those who live a bachelor's life in India face everyday ? I am sure smart people such as you, who are reading this blog might have already guessed it. Well, the answer is food, or rather Indian food (the so called Ghar ka Khana) :) It is not that easy task to adjust one's palate to the western cuisine or to the 'dhaaba' food, especially for Indians who have been pampered with delicious home food for years. Not only is eating out expensive but also it is not very healthy. Many times the food available in the restaurant or the 'dhaaba' is too oily or too spicy. Believe me, having eaten out both lunch and dinner for almost 2 years in Bangalore and having lived in Zurich for 6 months, I have really understood the craving for home cooked food that one gets. At times its depressing, especially if you are abroad. But can this problem be solved? How do you overcome this problem and get the food that yo...

The Art of Choosing

Image
United States of America is really a great country. It is a place where people get the opportunity to bring out the best in them and pursue the American dream. Am sure you would be wondering what has triggered these lines and awhat is this all about? Well currently am reading The Art of Choosing written by Prof. Sheena Iyengar . The book is very interesting and gives us an insight on how we choose to do things, why do we make the choices that we make  and so on and so forth. But what is really brilliant and inspiring is that Prof. Iyengar is almost blind right from her childhood and  that despite of her physical set back, she has achieved so much in life. Well am not saying that she was not capable of but what I am really implying is that perhaps this is what America is all about. It empowers you and brings the best out of you. Frankly, I haven't heard of any Indian with a similar physical disability who has achieved something a great as Prof. Iyengar...
