I am in NY, attending Wall Street Week. I know wall street hardly exists anymore but still wanted to see the collapse before it turns into oblivion. Last two days have been both exciting and frustrating. Meeting people and going into buildings that you will otherwise never get a chance to go in was exciting, whereas learning about the crisis and increased competition in financial sector was depressing. Therefore, for now I am shifting my focus off of finance to operations - something I can relate to better with my background.
Aligarian spirit: I had mentioned it zillion times but here is another proof of why I speak glowingly about AMU. A week ago after I realized that I had no place to stay in NY, I scrambled for options. Since hotel was too dear to me, I mailed one of my old alig acquaintances in NY through a common friend of ours and guess what... he not only offered me to stay at his place, he has been an amazing host... I mean you talk about NYers being rude, while he is one of the nicest and caring persons I have ever known. I thought people may be taking undue advantage of his nicety. But then I realized that he is quite successful in corporate America too! I guess it's his good deeds (... and Aligarian spirit) that is being rewarded.
A sweet narrative of a successful person in making. Past, present, future, and everything quintessential in my life.
