Where was I?
First of all, my apologies for writing in a while. If you have been wondering where the hell was I, remember that I've been in a 'real' grind at PGPX. Do not believe me? Do you know that in last 10 weeks:
- We've worked on close to 75 cases
- We've written 12 surprise quizzes/ mid term
- We've written 9 full-length exams
- Around 140 classes were held and we attended ALL of them
- We wrote/ co-wrote/ contributed to close to 50 reports/ submissions/ PPTs
Still skeptical? How about the following picture, which shows the amount of work load, we just endured :)
On a separate note, it has been a rewarding experience so far. The whole batch has shown lot of character and people have gone out of their ways to help others. To this 'spirit' (though Gujarat is a dry state) of PGPX 08-09, I'd say - I'm lovin' it.
Between, we got done with term I today (Sunday). Term II begins tomorrow (Monday). Gotta go. It is a 2-case day tomorrow! As SG very aptly captured and modified Citi's global campaign as follows:
Every night you sleep,
But your Dreams are wide awake; because
Ambitions never sleep
Aspirations never sleep
Goals never sleep
Hopes never sleep
Opportunities never sleep
The world never sleeps
That's why we work around the clock
To turn dreams into realities
That's why IIMA never sleeps
The PGPX never sleeps

Today is a nu day!
I've joined IIMA today, as a student for their PGPX program. The program will be conducted at IIMA's new, sprawling campus with a tinge of grey everywhere. The facilities are good enough to make you comfortable and the only thing, I'm complaining about is Ahmedabad weather. The campus is located in newer locality of Ahmedabad, which is reasonably good. IIMA is building lot of infrastructure to prepare for the expansion (of PGPX presumably).
During the registration, we've been given a couple of cases, which we need to read before our classes begin on April 6th. We would also receive our course material and will come to know about our study groups in next couple of days. We've been warned enough to be ready to handle the impending pressure of cases, quizzes, exams, presentations, and what not.. We're at a stage where there is only so much we can really care for right now. We can prepare but I'm sure, we'll be swamped with work and all the prep (read study) strategy will be thrown out of window. Wish me and my batch mates good luck, folks!

Preparations for interview are going on, but one would never know what all to prepare for.. I guess, it is more of a mental preparation to face the surprise than cram stuff. Please wish me luck guys!
