The first six months of MY MBA

I was reading-"keep of the grass(karan bajaj)" and that's from where i got an idea to write such a post.I have written this post under different sub headings, starting with ...

Academics/Studies:-I'm done with two trimesters and the third has already started,so down with 14 subjects-some of which i was familiar with like FSA(the grade in which i believe screwed my gpa),others like mathematics for finance(which i never wanted to study in my life again after 12th...but had to),some were fun like VALUES,some were(are) definitely not fun like corpfin...,some were good learning like microeco & macoeco...but in all a very good experience.Also the result for the first trimester has come out-i scored a gpa of 3.25 with which i'm not satisfied...maybe or rather definitely i need to put in a lot more effort.Still in a dilemma of whether to appear for june cfa or not....
Assignments/projects/presentations- in almost every course we were required to work in groups on various projects,assignments and presentations. got good feedback most of the times,also got negative feedback from my law teacher who said that i'm bad when it comes to presenting, learning- maybe i should work harder on cramming/rehearsing my presentations.(thanks for the feedback sir- i really value that)

Other non academic activities-little on this front,in fact fahranhiet was the last major thing...but i've been trying like i appeared for the selection interviews of three cells/committees-placecomm,SRF and finomenon,but couldn't make it to any of these,i have also been appearing for online quizzes/games etc of various management institutes but....wait i made it to the finals of IMNU'S treasure hunt but i didn't go there thinking it wouldn't "add to my cv".

Summers/internship-till now i've applied to 35 odd companies,got a chance to sit in the process of few of them but couldn't convert them,also appeared for my first ever job interview(Mastek)-couldn't convert it either.But still i have hope-and this hope comes when i see my roommates and placecomm members bora and gupta working hard-very hard indeed.So looking forward to the coming days.......

Health-well i've lost around 8 kgs in the last six months,coughs and colds keeps on coming and going.I might have got dengue as per a doctor(he gave me 15 tablets to eat that day)-bullshit....and i was on the verge of slip-disk, took bed rest for 3 days, once got an eye infection and also got my knee operated for taking out the fluid clogging- an allergy-which i believe was the result of those 15 tablets.BUT THANK GOD-while i am writing this i don't have any problem.

Bollywood/music- this is one of my interest i've not missed onto.I've listened to every big bollywood movie's music...watched most of the much awaited movies-thanks to a theatre like chandan-this single screen economical theatre is like a blessing in disguise for mba students who have limited sources of entertainment. Also got a chance to see Rajat kapoor's play-Hamlet which was very good.

food/eatables:-yahan din shuru hote hi idli-wade shuru ho jate hain aur khate raho unko raat tak-milte rahenge.I think our hostel mess is the best when it comes to staple and economical food amongst various SVKM's canteens.Though i can get everything nearby but....woh mummy ke haath ka khana..woh dal makhni,woh makki ki roti/sarson ka saag, woh gaajar-shalgam ka achar,woh amritsari kulche/ woh dhane di kachoriyan,woh narayan das wade-samose wala,woh uncle-pakorewala ke pakore,woh bmc wale ke golgappe, woh lassi........i missed these things a lot.....ya.....also got a chance here to eat at 2 five star hotels-Hayatt,Trident and got a chance to visit The Intercontinental.
