Finally ...

Happy Janmashtami!

Finally posting on the blog. Something I thought of doing a zillion times but always landed up typing out one HR assignment or the other instead :(

Even now I think I should be studying FinMan or Eco or something but no, today I shall blog :)

Will cover the last few weeks at FMS in as many bullet points (an integral part of the life of every FMSite ;)) as possible. Forgive the misplaced chronological order of my life.

1. FMS is hectic but fun.
2. Got selected in Consulting Club after two interviews and two tasks. I am glad since it was on top of my pecking order. I hope the club finally adopts the tag line or logo I suggested. They actually seemed to like it at the first meeting. I am flattered.
3. Its tougher getting into a society on campus than making it to FMS itself. Both have a similar conversion ratio at interview stage (1 in 7) but still it’s the selection process that makes the former so tough.
4. Delhi has been hot as ever and the Delhiites have already scared the hell out of us by describing the winter days here!
5. Went for a long weekend to Pune (the Independence Day one). Got a badly needed dose of good weather.
6. Getting my first exposure to student politics. Delhi Univ seems to be the stepping stone for many politicians of the country. Cars with posters covering them completely are all over the place, candidates walking into the hostel with folded hands and distributing pamphlets. Feels weird.
7. Havent been on the Delhi Metro yet. Though its just 10 mins walking distance from hostel and connects directly to CP. Hope some day soon I am motivated enough to pick up my lazy ass and make the trip.
8. Rain in Delhi means half an hour of rainfall in one week followed by 3 days of sweaty humidity. God I can never stop cribbing about the weather in Delhi.
9. All said and done I still like the city. With all its vices, there is still a sense of belonging that I share with Delhi. Have been here for each and every summer vacation of mine since childhood.
10. Booked an air ticket to Pune for 1000 bucks! Finally got the taste of a true low cost airline!
11. Hostel guys would be partying right now. Wish I could be at two places at one time.
12. Thinking of starting a Life@FMS photo blog. Will probably have to get the Media Team’s permission first! ;)
13. Hostel food sucks … their strict timing even more :-(
14. Hostel life is fun.
15. Had a stats quiz last week. Lets not talk about it. Have another one this week. Hopefully I should feel like talking about it.
16. Sick of McDonalds. Eat there almost 3-4 times a week at times. Though it has reduced now.
17. K Nags (Kamla Nagar) has some decent eating joints. Parathas, Chinese, Ice Creams, Chole Bhature etc. However not the stuff you can eat everyday. And if you in the mood to spend there is a Barista, CCD and Dominos too.
18. Travelling in a cycle rickshaw is a nice experience.
19. Will probably have the juniors to seniors party next week. Hopefully Cul Secy Udai should fix up some place in Gurgaon and hopefully I don’t have fever this time around. Will be one helluva all night blast!
20. Will be more regular here. Planning to document each day at FMS. Hahahaha. The first lesson at B Skool, think big ;-)
21. More bullet points later …
