Every night I decide on a topic to scribble on this blogspot and every time the needs of my temporal existence take the better of me. The subjects that I have zeroed in until now have been as weird as enumerating my embarrassments (which by the way, will itself top the list) to reviewing 'live free or die hard' to as bland a thought as introspecting myself. Inasmuch as I contemplated to write down my sweet childhood and college-days memories and anecdotes, I have thought of starting a thread dedicated solely to my indolent yet motivated attempt to get into the school of my choice. But then I realize that I am not the best blogger in the world (damn, I lost my chance for that coveted place!!!) and hence my blogsphere maintains a status quo for a long time.
Anyway, today is one of those days when I get bit by the blogging bug. However the purpose of today’s blog, as is apparent from my prolixity until now, is simple: to write – any darn thing to at least maintain a post-a-month status. Despite the fact that I always wished to pen down something interesting, I wonder – as I write – at the bulk of worthless ideas crystallizing in my mind. For the start though, as the deadlines for my applications are nearing, my involvement in essay drafting is taking a back seat. Actually it’s not that my interest is dwindling, but the long waiting time before matriculation that is making me restless. I can’t wait to graduate from, let alone enroll in, one of my dream schools – Stanford, Michigan, Insead, Kellogg, and Duke (in that order). In fact, instead of planning for my neo-student reincarnation, I am loving my current job more than ever; part in response to completing my first five years job experience this June and part because unlike my last job, here I DO something and SEE things happen – a wysiwyg paradigm in manufacturing business!!!
And yes, ironically the more I miss my friends and family back home; I am awed by the ease and abundance in this ‘land of opportunity’ called USA.

Adios amigos!
PS: GMAT and MBA prep rock. I feel the difference.

Did you know: The word 'pound' is abbreviated 'lb.' after the constellation 'libra' because it means 'pound' in Latin, and also 'scales'. The abbreviation for the British ‘Pound Sterling’ comes from the same source: it is an 'L' for Libra/Lb. with a stroke through it to indicate abbreviation. Same goes for the Italian ‘lira’ which uses the same abbreviation ('lira' coming from 'libra'). So British currency (before it went metric) was always quoted as "pounds/shillings/pence", abbreviated "L/s/d" (libra/solidus/denarius).
