the first round of applications have come in and the review process has begun. we are doing our best to select the next batch. i like this whole approach of the current students deciding on how the next batch would be. this happens with most top schools in the world. its perhaps the best system.
today we had one more event w.r.t the admissions process. some of us had volunteered to be a part of the interview preparation process. in this process, the ISB interview team gets to interview us to get a feel of how the whole damn thing is going to be, when they have to do it for prospective students. they also give us effective feedback which would be helpful for us to prepare for our interviews. we then give our feedback about the interview and also tell them what all to look for in a prospective candidate and how to go about questioning them in the right way.
the event just got over and i got my feedback. am quite happy. there are a few things that i have to work on. that can be done. in fact, there is only one pain point and rest were all positive. so, i can channel my efforts to work that out for the better.
in all, the admissions team is gearing up for the mega marathon interviews they are going to have in the next few weeks to come by.
good luck - class of 2008
nothing much happening on campus though. 80% of the batch is at home enjoying holidays. i am lazy to step out. so i am wasting time here - definitely not enjoying the hot weather in Hyderabad. I wonder when it gets cold. Oh please let that happen very soon.
we had a section party as well and that happened on monday. we had a lot of section funds that had not been used for a long time. so we decided to spend that on booze and we had a party till about 3.30am. awesome fun it was.

Mama...
Your blog is kinda a sure-shot, no nonsense, crisp bit of your thoughts. Somedays there are these emotional outburts, other days I find a philosopher in you and most of the days, i find a MAN, who takes a stand on issues and can state his opinion in black and white. This is what makes a blogger, a blogger and not a PR writer. Not taking anything away from blogs of your fellow ISB buddies, I find myself more attracted to a your short reads than most other stuff, which are cliched and politically correct. I am not sure why no other ISBian writes about placements, admissions and other internal haggling stuff like you do. I just jump into ur blog to get a feel of how the week was at ISB and I get a good mental picture... good work buddy. takke care and be a good boy :). You are smart and it doesn't matter whether you are in the 2-5 or 5-8 year category, great things happen to good guyz...
wow, this is perhaps the best comment i have got on my blog ever! anyway, thanks and keep reading.
