Drowning!
He knew he had committed big blunders. He knew his love was not true. He did not listen to her when she was screaming. He chose to go with other people and not her.
And now life has turned around, its he who is screaming. Its he who knows that he could not love anyone more than he loves her. And she is the one who chooses other people over him.
How cruel but fair... life can be? You will learn your lesson son, you'll learn your lesson.

Langkawi, Malaysia
During the term break, 8 of us took a trip to Langkawi islands, Malaysia.
Its an awesome place....quite serene white beaches, lush green rain forests, excellent resorts and facilities and all this at a relatively inexpensive price. One of the best places I have ever been to.
Here are some of the snaps. Check the webshots link at the bottom to see more snaps.

T1 tidbits
Economics:
1. There is nothing called a free lunch.
2. Accounting profit is very different from Economic profit and its very difficult to earn an Economic profit.
Financial Accounting:
1. Accountants have lots of ways to twist things, so be careful while investing.
2. Do not emphasise on Net Profits, the better indicator is Cash flows.
Managing Business Operations:
1. Doing a thorough process analysis gives a lot of information which aids in decision making.
2. Scheduling jobs and stuff is not that difficult if you are able to formulate a LP model.
Financial Management:
1. A dollar in hand today is worth more than a dollar in the future.
2. Money does not come for free, there is a cost associated with it.
Generally:
1. MS Excel is one of the most powerful tools anyone could have.
2. It depends on you how you want to make the MBA work for you.

Annual Reception and Farewell to seniors
Just came back from the MBA Annual Reception and farewell party.
The reception though looked promising initially with the MBA office booking the National Library pod (excellent view of the Singapore skyline from there) it turned out to be a dud finally. Terrible food and horrible wine. Some of us ended up leaving early and went to an Indian bistro nearby.
Done with the reception, the seniors planned to go to a pub and drink away. We guys joined them. Had an awesome time there. Some of the seniors are leaving in the next couple of days and it was great to spend some time with them. Here are some snaps from the party....
Senior Dada!
