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!
