Phew, so its been a hectic week.. My sister is here on her 'DP vacation' (Durga Pooja, for the un kharagpurized), and so its been a lot of eating out and a crappy movie every time there's an opportunity. Watched Kidnap, and if nothing else was on in my life, i'd probably have cursed the movie (except Minissha lamba.. yummy :P) in this post..

But , there was a fine ending to this week. After a friday night drink with uddi, having convinced him after an hour long debate (on how drinking in Navratri wouldn't bring him any bad luck, that it was not non-vegetarian, that bhairo baba ka prasad is what every1 haves after a vaishno devi trip, that religion is a man made concept, that it is bullshit, that christians have wine on christmas, and that he is no saint himself etc etc..), I crashed at his place not deciding to drive after 360 ml of bliss warmed me on the inside (my capacity has increased manifold over the past few months)..

Come morning and all tired and hung over i drive back home looking forward to another dead weekend of acting chauffer for the family and giving a mock.. hurt after my nift crush finally decided to give in to my ministrations and remove me from her lists.. and i come home and open my mailbox and lo and behold..

I had finally managed an elite B-school call, and its from no ordinary school, its from the highest ranked B school in the country :). Indian School of Business just rocks.. Having taken CAT twice and being one of the most deserving guys in my own opinion to get a call from A/B/C, still being ditched by it twice, had taken a toll on my self-respect.. But finally, after 2 years of wanting it and seething inside when less deserving people got calls and I did not.. I did get my tier A+ B-school call.

So the past few days have been running around, deciding what to wear, giving stuff for dry cleaning , ironing, shopping, reading blogs, reading the website, reviewing my application, reading past interview experiences, tracking alumni from anywhere possible and calling them up and grilling them for information.. its been very eventual. I'm glad.. my sad and nearly dead life needed a boost of mana and this is just the right thing to happen at the right time.

I wasn't even sure if i fulfilled the minimum eligibility criterion required for ISb , but here i am, shortlisted for an interview. and at one time IIM seemed like everything there was to the world, but now , the more i read about isb, the more i am convinced that this is the school i want to join. Altho the chance of me getting thru are really low considering my low workex but even if they offered me a deferred admission its gonna be totally worth it. :)

Well, i'll post my interview experience later .. tada!

I'm back, lets see how long this stint lasts. I'm a freaking lazy guy, and I quickly lose drive for things in life. I read blogs and I end up thinking, golly, thats so awesome, and then the ideas start flowing, and I end up thinking just how much better I can make my own blog. But after 2-3 entries, procrastination sets in. Its probably the lack of appreciation, or probably, just the lack of direction. I mean there's so much to write about, and there's nothing to write about (if you get what I mean).

I think I'll write this and write that, but end up writing nothing. I mean whats the purpose of a blog anyway? If I have to write something to store my own memories, I'd rather write a diary entry. Atleast that way it'll be private and thus more truthful. When you know someone else is gonna read what you write, the elasticity decreases, you sort of tend to confirm to what you think other people would appreciate. You tend to show off your superior, plastic vocab, (atleast that happens to me), your fine command over the language, reread it to avoid mistakes (well a lot of people probably don't but I do.. *{Not doing so deliberately in this piece, just letting the feelings flow} {{the fact that i wrote the previous line again indicates that I'm thinking of what other people would think}} {{{the fact that i wrote the last one and tried to be funny reproves it}}} {{{{?? chuck it.. u got the idea!!}}}}..

So coming back to the question, What is the purpose of a blog? Please please do comment and let me know as I to understand it. See, something you want to document for urself --> diary. Want to write for others--> publish a book or write for a magazine. Want to write your views on current events or movies or books or whatever --> there are ample review sites which allow u to post such reviews, and the people who actually care to read em would read em there, it;ll be more bang on. Trying to be funny? umm well.. i don't know how many people actually care if i unleash my humour upon the world through my blog. People who know me are sick of my humour anyway. Oh shit why is it underlining this thing.. Its humor? yeah works fine.. damn I can't even spell it. :D. Get an idea how horrible it is?

I'll probably fill this blog with PJ's . Thats the best thing to do. Atleast that way I'll make a difference. Probably reduce the population of this planet by one bit (c.. thats the level :P)

Chalo anyway, getting late . Office day over. yippie!
