hick!

Since finishing up my bartending course last year, I tried making quite a few traditional drinks like long islands and margarita and stuff. But my options had been pretty limited because I did not have a variety of liquors. That's been improving and so has the style. Going forward, if I make something nice, I'll post a picture and the recipe. That will serve a few purposes -
1. I will not have to remember the recipes
2. You might think I am cool to hang-around with
3. You might look at my interests, and gift me alcohol... It's expensive.

Another Google is evil argument

Steve Jobs thinks that Google is evil because it is trying to kill the iPhone by building its own Android series phones. See Apple Insider.

Sorry Steve. I think you are evil. While Google might be trying to take away your market-share, it sounds strictly business to me. Don't you think what your iPhone did to the rest of the mobile phone manufacturers was evil then? What? - that was supposed to be a revolution of the mobile market. Oh, I hear ya'. Just be a sport man! ... Google might seem evil to the iPhone, but not to its millions of consumers. We are more than happy to see better smart phones and better competition.

So for me, an excited consumer, who is not brickwalled in the Apple environment, Google is not evil...well...right now it's not.

Crazy times ended...crazy times ahead

I thought it made sense for me to restart blogging by talking about the reason why i stopped in the first place.

I had just gotten much too busy with my MBA applications. When I look back at my strategy, it was something close to a disaster! For the past 2 years, I spent 4 months every year, around 4 hours a day, 7 days a week on my applications. This equates to 896 hours of madness or about 115 days of 8 hours each. This time does not even include the time Shuchi, Akshia, Shubhrta and papa spent with me! Needless to say I don't want to think about it anymore.

And why should I? I got accepted at the Ross School of Business, Michigan! Wooo hoooo!

So the title - crazy times of apping have ended. crazy times of schooling ahead.
