WooHooo!!!
Done with the GMAT today. Scored a 730.

Read all about my GMAT experience here.

Saw X-Men III 2 days back..and Fanaa too..Fanaa was strictly OK..No great shakes.
X-Men was awesome..

Waiting for the shuttle to transport me from the office back to my place..

4 days to GMAT..Actually looking forward to it..
I guess it is the that urge to do better in ones life that finally stokes the fire within..
Work has been hectic as usual, but the rewards in terms of satisfaction and happiness have been decreasing ...for the last year I guess :)

A good friend of mine landed up in Stamford from India last week. So I am sure we will meet up more often now. We were roommates in New York back in 2002, and then in 2004. He was also present at my wedding in Detroit..Fun guy to be around :)..

Its been almost 6 months since I purchased my piece of land in the madhouse called Bombay..Worth all my savings and my wifes savings too :) and then some ..
I have always felt that purchasing that 1st home is a defining moment..breaking from the bachelor lifestyle..someplace to call my own..(apart from my parents home ofcourse :D)

Still stuck with those allergy symptoms..runny nose , sneezing..Hmm..has never happened before to me..

Oohhh..and the Indian stock markets crashed..Damn..My first year of investing..and. well..Atleast didnt have too much to lose, so not that bad..Lost around 20% in a couple of days..

My Vegas trip from earlier in the month is haunting me..I feel like I was born for that life..Not the Gambling or the topless shows :D..I mean the waking up late and doing nothing kind of life..
The chopper ride in the grand canyon was amazing..real fun..But Hoover dam was a let down..More like a manufactured tourist spot complete with a cafeteria, than anything else..

Where the hell is that shuttle...

Taking a day off from my GMAT studies..Not feeling too well..must be the high pollen count this year..
My wife tells me that no one anyways reads what I write, except her..So why dont I just tell her all of this, instead of blogging it.. :)

Saw an amazingly funny movie last night - Crimen Perfecto - "The Perfect Crime"..

I have been making full use of my NetFlix acct...catching up on old Peter Sellers and David Lean movies..Zhivago, Bridge on the river Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia...

I am all set for my GMAT on the 19th of June. Though I plan to advance the date by a couple of weeks. I feel that I have prepared well enough and am actually bored of reading the same material over and over again :-)

I am facing a bit of trouble in sentence correction..but nothing serious..and also dont have the time to really learn the grammar behind it all..

So really have only 2 weeks to go...and then...prepare for TOEFL..This is pretty ridiculous...but then I guess the univs wont have any other way of determining if a student can actually understand English..

And saw Da Vinci Code last night..Hmm...OK..its actually well made..a bit heavy on the dialogues, but thats to be expected.. Really looking forward to X-Men III.....now that'll be fun..

fire up the boiler again

Wow!...getting back to this after a very long time..Will try to be more regular from now on..
Exciting times going on right now...making an attempt this year to get into an MBA school..
GMAT due in a month..the TOEFL in 2.. and then start the application process...
Meanwhile, I'll take it as it comes,and keep you guys updated too :)
