Its been so long a time since I posted here......and its been for the worse. For one, after spending around 6 months learning how debt differs from equity, how for every one transaction, accountants have made their life tough by making two entries, how you can apply statistical regression analysis to ascertain that mangoes falling off trees have a 3.26% correlation with Colin Forbes writing a new novel, how Cournot's model differed from Bertrand's model. and how my model differs from both, the only logical conclusion that I can arrive at is.....Im still not even a jack of all trades.

Ok, let me elaborate. Copy-pasting a 3 page document about how Japanese meetings proceed doesnt exacty make you an expert at Kaizen. Nor does giving an economics paper lend you more insights than the average Johnny has. The only thing I am proud about is that when I mention Kaizen, Oligopoly, Managing-by-objectives and KMO analysis in quick succession, which is a kind of a tongue twister in itself, I get the gratitude of having to look at people who simply have been flabbergasted by getting to see someone so knowledgable (ostentatiously, but so be it....they dont know), or seemingly have. They have, in their eyes, a kind of reverence that should not be extended to me.....but what the hell, Im happy, and so are they.

The interesting thing that has hapened in these 6 months is that I've made a lot of friends. They are cool people. lotsa attitude, lota fun and thats what I like. And you get to see all kinds of people here.....ones who are simply unaffected even of their room's on fire, those who'll proclaim hell has arrived when Saturn rotates by 1 degree, those who never show whether they are affected or not. Its kinda of a boiler pot, where people from all walks of society meet and exchange ideas. As a matter of fact, its quite interesting to study a congregation of people. You never get to see a diverse view anytime else. Especially during project submissions, when everyone's like so into projects that they dont even remeber when they last bathed. (I wonder how I always manage to get the YUCK!! factor in my posts).

4 days from now, I have my second sem exams, and havent studied anything yet. But I dont mind that, I already have one CA in my batch whos gonna teach my corporate finance, one eco guy from Stephen's whos gonna show me in one day how to cut unemployment, and other guys who will help me in other ways, and others still who I'll have to help.

So folks, just hope I dont get many DGPs (thats deficit grade points), and god allowing, I'll live to write another post.

catch ya later.....
