The Interview


Arite, now that im done with this interview which was 5 hours of hell, boredom and some very lame attempts at humour I walk out of the Board Room feeling strangely optimistic. A couple of other applicants and me were asked to come back for a second interview 4 hours after the first one. Now I dont know if this was a good thing, as some of the smarter applicants (atleast I thought so) were not called back. So now after a few more lame attempts at humour and an analytical excercise later I am now told the results will be out in 3 weeks time. So i guess its waiting with bated breath for another 21 days or so. SO back to the good old Mumbai grind till then.

The MBA Dilema

Well there comes a time in every mans life (atleast mine) when your about 3 years into your work, earning decently, lets be honest its never really enough and then suddenly outta nowhere, someone says, son have you ever considered doing an mba? Well then you start thinking, if i do this course, dedicating a year to it, it basically means more money when you emerge a post graduate right? well now comes the biggest issue, back to studying!! the very thought of it in the begining scared the hell out of me. So after a lot of deliberating and keeping it off and after a few threats from the father, i quit my job, hit the books and sat for the GMAT, which wasnt half bad. You see life is quite a bitch, in the fact that no decent college accept you without a decent gmat score, the ones that dont no matter whats written on their web pages, its not true, so there is basically no point in applying there. Well now i have a call from the asian institute of management, and im hoping that works out. The interview is on Wednesday, so ill keep you posted on how that pans out.
