Disappointment, on a Monday morning.

Posted by karram on August 18, 2008

(Note to readers (assuming there are any): Sorry for the abrupt beginning to this post. Filling in the full context is just too much work, and I might lose the motivation to write if I have to fill that in. If there are specific questions, just leave a comment and I’ll answer :) ).

I was working on the CSR paper all weekend. About 8 pages of verbiage describing how awesome Intel is when it comes to CSR, and how stupid they were to pull out of OLPC program pretty much summarizes my paper. Drifted off to sleep, and was pretty excited today morning when I got up.

The reason for my excitement stems is the fact that we are starting a new module today, and one of the subjects in this course deals with models. Now, I was looking forward to this course. Who would have thought there would be course dealing with models, and naturally to me, that term conjured up ravishing ladies clad in the bare minimum clothing.

So, with a spring in my step (which is amazing given the fact that I twisted my ankle last friday and could barely walk for two days), I bounded into the class five minutes early (which is a significant improvement from the 30 seconds early rule that I normally follow). However, my great expectations went for a toss the minute class started.

The course was about modelling, all right. However, instead of barely clothed ladies, the course focused on mathematical models, and how a manager can use them to make better business decisions (or, in the words of the Prof., come up with bad answers instead of worse answers).

Monday morning blues never go away !

Quick updates !

Posted by karram on August 18, 2008

Much water has flown under the bridge since the last serious post I made. And, I think I mite have changed things.. forever..

The life in Bangalore, the friends, the fun times seem a distant memory now. In Kingston, doing the MBA from Queen’s School of Business now. Hectic life, and I do get homesick quite often. This too shall pass.

The intention this time is to update this blog frequently. Lets see how things go.

Wish life had a reboot button…..

Posted by karram on March 11, 2008

To start again, afresh, without any zombie processes or memory fragmentation … Just a clean new start.

So many swap files and temporary data that can be flushed… so much baggage to dump…

A clean new life…….
