Happy birthday to me!

no thats not a blot on the camera lens. Its a piece of cake on my forehead...remnant of the facial cake massage :-D

This year, i did not get a chance to go out and spend money - yes that is what all bdays are for - to go wild and treat yourself! Life's tough...but i think i like it to be tough. Don't want to be a 65 yr old thinking where did all the years went by.

On the brighter side, i did get to cut 3 cakes. yes 3! yuppee!
The first one was from my darling Ms.Shuchi.
The second one from my office gang, and the third from Sal and co. (in pic)

Hello 27! Let make it a memorable one. Well actually, I have no doubts about that :-)

When you live a dream

It was probably high school when I had first come across the acronym M.I.T. It was the place where all the smartest people went to study. Only a chosen few of this world would have the opportunity to be there. They would end up creating technologies of the future and lead the global corporates of tomorrow.

Can't recall if I ever thought at that time - I want to go to MIT.
Wonder why I did not dream? Wonder why I din't want the best for me? Wonder why I thought It could only be a dream.

Today I took the Ambassadors Program at MIT Sloan School of Management, spoke with the Admissions Director and with those smartest kids of the world. I found that they are not different people...they just do things differently.

Overall the Sloan visit was fun. Besides the fact that i got lost a couple of times before i finally reached, and that i paid $20 for 4 hours at the public parking!, everything else was great. Sloanies are down to Earth and friendly. The campus was full of activity, and the staff was helpful.
I attended the Advanced Corporate Finance class and surprisingly it wasn't too hard. I had to notice that the professors use blackboard and chalk instead of whiteboards...hmm!

fixed

Its fixed.
After uncountable to-and-fros within 3 families, family friends and 5 pundits, we have fixed on the wedding dates for both me and Akshia!
