Relationships http://prithesh.blogdrive.com/archive/161.html Sun, 15 May 2005 15:06:32 GMT Its been a long time since i blogged. Getting more & more entrenched into the daily routine of office life. I'm now in pune for the next 3 months or so. I would be driving my 6 sigma black belt project at the WNS branch here. Pune seems to be a nice city still trying to shed its traditional image and welcoming the modern. Most of the guys have joined their respective companies by now. Hemant seems to have settled down in mumbai after finding an apartment in andheri. He is the only guy i have met so far. Himanshu must have joined in bangalor by now and Deepak joined last month in...

I guess the credit should go to the company for taking such good care of me. I'm put up at the company guest house right across the office. The area in which the office is located; i.e. Vikhroli, is so unlike mumbai and the colony in which i'm staying has so many trees around that it reminds me of bangalore. Anyway, i'm yet to find suitable acomodation here and i hope to find it by the end of the month. I would also be doing quite a bit of shuttling between the mumbai and pune offices so it should be fun. Also a...

It feels great to be an IIM'ite now. It was a lovely function. Mr. Kiran Karnik, President NASSCOM was the chief guest. The diplomas were handed over to the students by the IIMK chairman Mr. A.C. Muthaiah. Some pics of the event. Detailed info abt the event can be found here. http://prithesh.blogdrive.com/comments?id=159 http://prithesh.blogdrive.com/archive/158.html Fri, 18 Mar 2005 12:28:22 GMT After a nice vacation at home doing nothing but eating and sleeping, i'm back on campus for the last time for the convocation which is scheduled to take place tomorrow evening. The placements rocked this year at IIMK and the official placements report can be seen here. So we party for a last time today evening before going our seperate ways. I will be joining WNS in mumbai from the 1st of April. Will be back with more news of the convocation tomorrow. Till then. http://prithesh.blogdrive.com/comments?id=158 http://prithesh.blogdrive.com/archive/157.html Sun, 27 Feb 2005 14:30:42 GMT i would be traveling quite a bit over the next month and a half so the next update whenever i find time. Signing off http://prithesh.blogdrive.com/comments?id=157 http://prithesh.blogdrive.com/archive/156.html Sun, 20 Feb 2005 07:33:21 GMT The juniors threw a great farewell party for us. I guess its best that i let the pics speak for themselves. Party venue waiting for the party to start Party begins ;) biyani & kima find this signboard more appropriate some glamour liquids are good for the body Cheers Xtreme dancing Some more... cheers....hic.. Uh?? whats going on here?...A great party that went on well into the early hours. On a more sober note........placements are upon us........so all the best batch of 2005. http://prithesh.blogdrive.com/comments?id=156 http://prithesh.blogdrive.com/archive/155.html Fri, 18 Feb 2005 09:40:40 GMT I'm done with my last exam at IIMK. The last exam on rural marketing lasted just 30 minutes and had only one global question. So now i have nothing much left to do. Final Placements start from monday but i dont have too much of a role to play in it. It feels good to have finished two years of MBA..........all of it seems so easy in the end. The juniors are throwing a farewell party for us at the Taj later in the evening so that should be fun. I have some inside information that some of my batchmates will be trying to make complete asses of themselves. More information on the farewell...

A lot of work piled up after the mid terms as 75% of this term’s classes were surprisingly scheduled in the latter half. Moreover the company PPT’s almost daily where one had to listen to the same crap over and over again was tiring to say the least. The term ends on the 15th and thank goodness for that. I have managed to wrap up the countless term papers, assignments and various other submissions which are characteristic of the 6th term. A few loose ends remain, which I hope to tie up over the weekend. A lot of things...

I had one lousy mid term exam this time and i messed it up big time. The only consolation being more than half the class seemed to have suffered my fate. Luckily most of my subjects do not have any term end exam however these subjects have lengthy term papers which need to be submitted by the end of the month. The PPT season has begun at IIMK and the buzz of final placements is palpable around campus. There were 3 presentations today and two more lined up tomorrow. It is pretty tiring to sit...

It was interesting to note how the attendance level suddenly hit the roof when the news about the prof spread. People who had dropped the elective rushed back in and people who were not foresighted (read: unfortunate) enough to take this elective wanted to know whether the registration was still open. Some people wanted elections to be held for being course co-ordinator. One guy dropped B2B marketing for this elective and was overheard saying how 'strategically' important this elective was to his career :). Of course, all this had nothing to do with how good...
