Sunday, May 04, 2008. It's 11:01 pm, I've got stats class to prepare for, a marketing case with a deadline sharper than a knife and I choose instead to make my first post from ISB. Week 1 of core terms has just come to a close and one thing that has struck me as peculiar is how time seems to slow down and rush by almost simultaneously out here. I hope to blog regularly (hope being the operative word) and put out a flavour of the life inside here. Posted by ashwin at 11:01 PM. View my complete profile.

Thursday, May 12, 2005. The value add of the IIMs. Let us then begin our walk down this path with a question that I have been grappling with for a few days about what defines the value of an IIM. Are they really are as good as they are made out to be? One may argue that the CAT does test the skills that are desirable in managers decision-making skills (X: do I answer 1 mark or 2 mark questions), dealing with uncertainties, perseverance (Y: I’ve been studying for this since my engineering days! The abilit...

Thursday, July 31, 2008. The B-school environment has been superb thus far - great people, some 'interesting' ones (put it down to diversity! A whole maelstrom of activities going on all the time, some sleep, a whole lot of a lack of it, fun, learning, arbit CP, competitions, dunkings, loads of work and what not. Posted by ashwin at 1:01 AM. To turn a matter over and over in the mind. To reflect on over and over again. A blog on my ruminations - a place where I can think free. View my complete profile.

Friday, May 19, 2006. My inclinations towards thought and rumination - not to be confused with day dreaming - which have lead to the rechristening of my blog but a short while back - have lead me to decorate the title of this post with the word "conundrum". But I digress - let me to my main thought stream return. Yes, the concept of having to shell out $500 as a collateral for a "secured" credit card is alien to me! Posted by ashwin at 12:57 PM. To turn a matter over and over in the mind.

Wednesday, March 22, 2006. Stream of consciousness - penned four to five years ago after an expedition to the Beasant nagar beach in Chennai @ 11PM. The sands, they spread before us, beckoning us to the sea. The lights, they glowed dimly, setting a mood very eerie. The waves beat the sandbanks, the wind bellowed around. The sands were still uncannily, crabs crawled uninvitingly. There sat we upon the shore. Trying to figure out why we were here. The mysteries of life vast as the ocean. It is an known fac...

Sunday, February 12, 2006. Of reality writing and humour. We shall now describe the travails of the author of this blog, who, being an astute trend spotter, has decided to pen his thoughts in the third person. The author, fresh from the victory of his battle with the bar-wani (who by his entry into the author's citadel posed a threat to the author's single minded focus on combating his monstrous writer's blog) hunches before his laptop. Posted by ashwin at 2:45 AM. To reflect on over and over again.

Friday, July 29, 2005. Awaken the spirit within. It was another day in the cubicle farm. Yet another day of mindless code. Being churned out in this our glass abode. When all of a sudden a wind of hope. Blew across my face - i felt a surge. That brought out an inner urge. And I felt a wave of creativity. Rise within me unabated. Twas like the doors to heaven ungated. Washed away were the ones and zeroes. We became fearless heroes. Of our spirit within. Posted by ashwin at 3:55 PM. Sunday, July 10, 2005.
