'Life has taken a big turn upside down. And it still feels dizzy inside (how I just hate roller coasters!)Let me be honest and simply accept this - I had always prepared to get into my dream B-School and dreamt of a starry job and paychecks after it but I had never actually thought of 'Life in a B-School'. Confessing this (yes that seems to be the buzzword around on the FB pages, the poor priest at the church has his own parity issues now :|) I just can't blame the 1 year so far at M(...)'

'I could have blogged about the drastic changes happening around me. The sudden mail (not actually, as I was all finger-biting-anxiously-waiting for it), the great experience I then had at work on how to actually deal with the most practical challenges, traveling back to the place I hated the most on the Earth (yes & it even takes credit for being the most sought or rather talked after city in my blog too!)

I am not sure if this goes true for sweet dreams too but this post is about one I had when I was small.As a kid we so loved receiving gifts packed in those shiny starry gift wrappers. Wait. We still love that , don't we? And we will continue doing that. The surprise of getting something new from family or a friend!  These days I remember a short & sweet dream I had long long back.

'Continuing with the Indian Author spree, I now completed the Banking Trilogy by Ravi Subramanian. I wonder if trilogy is actually the word here coz' I felt I was reading the same book thrice. Not that I am complaining because I would have never gone for the third book - 'Devil in Pinstripes' after the second one - The Incredible Banker. (First being If God was a banker) The author makes carries forward the story line in a way, gripping enough to make you feel it is a fresh story tho(...)'

'Watched "The Hunger Games" this weekend.Would have never watched it at home or after reading about its plot, but went ahead to watch it, as friends planned it just 30 mins before the movie & I couldn't even have a glimpse of its wiki, though after the movie, as it turned out, it was okayish & not as bad as I had expected it.Not a really good concept, Hunger Games, which are played or rather fought between 12 different districts, with 2 representatives from each - a girl &(...)'

'Excerpts from the Transcript of the speech Sheryl Sandberg, the current COO, FB gave in her commencement speech to Barnard Class of 2011.The next step is you’re going to have to believe in yourself potentially more than you do today. Studies also show that compared to men, women underestimate their performance. If you ask men and women questions about completely objective criteria such as GPAs or sales goals, men get it wrong slightly high; women get it wrong slightly low. More i(...)'

(that is of course when tons of the work finally gets over, in case you are from my office & reading this ;)) Interestingly, for a change, I came to know about the author here first before the book itself, thanks to 'cricinfo.com' & 'twitter' where I have been following Sidin Vadukut's tweets until he mentioned about his com(...)'

'As the Shiva trilogy goes on, Amish continues to weave the magic of mixing the fiction with his words.The story of the great Mahadev takes further turns as he discovers not only new things from his journey but also leaves many thoughts for the reader to pick up along the read.The enlightening conversations with the different Vasudevs which Shiva has all along show how a person discovers the good among himself & most importantly the fact that there is no absolute evil or go(...)'

The journey had given him the time he so badly wanted.A time with himself, alone or rather as they say in the "neutral grounds"(...)'

'I just completed an Indian fiction "The Immortals of Meluha" - the book 1 of the Shiva Trilogy series by Amish & the first thing I did after completing it was ordering the book 2. I never expected it to be so intriguing given that I had not given much try to such topics as spiritualism specially the one concerning the Great Indian God Shiva, whom we don't find as friendly as the other Gods in the numerous story books or TV series we all grew reading/watching up. Though its cover(...)'
