2006 is coming to an end..In retrospect it turned out to be a very good year..9 months of sustained effort..and I am in at Tuck!
Lotsa people have often asked me over the years as to why I havent done my MBA yet..I just like to say that I have been waiting for the right moment...and that moment has arrived!
I also completed a very happening trip to India. Got to see Bihar for the 1st time :). Attended a kick-ass marriage ceremony..It was real fun.

Met Debu at the Dubai airport !! It was a pleasent surprise. He was on his way back to Mumbai from Hartford. Feels good to meet old friends at unexpected places.

I must thank my wife for being extremely supportive and for her proof reads of my essays..Yeah..it sounds odd thanking my wife in such a formal manner..but just felt like it :)

The trip to India was amazing. Spent a total of 3 weeks..Lotsa fun. Visited Patna for the 1st time in my life..and survived to tell the tale !! My sister-in-laws wedding went of very well;very good food to boot..

Have to resist the jet-lag for today..back to work from tomorrow..but now with the knowledge that I will be moving on in a few months!! YEAH!!

Got back to NYC this morning. Was a very long flight. Missed my connection in Dubai and had to spend my entire day there. I took a tour of the city.Found it amazing..very clean, well organized and you get just about everything under the sun inclusing some of the sexiest cars ever produced!!

The Tuck admit has finally sunk in :) . I got home to the admit pack from Tuck. Will start the loan/visa process soon..
I am forfeiting ISB. Have decided to pursue Tuck.

Got in at ISB and Tuck !!!!! Both news on the 15th of December....
Will post more details later.

Had another horrible experience at Cafe Spice in Newport.
The Mango Lassi comes in 10 min late. Then the waiter brings in Lamb coconut instead of the kovalam fish. Then turns out he did bring the correct dish, he just didnt know the name so he made one up.
Then 5 min after getting this entree, the waiter asks us why we arent eating yet. Are we waiting for something? Duh..the Naan we ordered 20 minutes back..Have lost interst in the dinner by then. Got it packed and came home... So much more enjoyable with Jay Leno on the tube !!

Saw The Man Who Knew Too Much.[the colored version].Nice Hitchcock one..and Sabrina..Another good Audrey Hepburn movie.
The packing project is in full swing..

Stern has been submitted. At 1AM on 1st Dec..
Handed in my supplementary materials directly to the Admissions office.
So I am finally all done with my MBA application saga for tihs year..YEAAA!!!
6 months of thinking about submission deadlines draws to a close. But the real relief will only be when I get an Admit somewhere..And that is not looking too promising right now.
Anyways..

Now looking at a weekend of packing for the India trip.Really looking forward to it!![The trip that is..not the packing :) ]
