  • The agonizing moments!!

    People who have apped to common schools have started getting interview invites. I on the other hand am getting no news, which, to say the least, is killing me!! There is some anticipation everytime I check email. Everytime I get some email containing the School’s name, usually some article related to the school, the heart beat doubles.

    Any suggestions on how to keep this thing sane??

  • Farewell Jumbo…

    … you will be sorely missed.

    In today’s cricket, seldom are there moments when the game becomes larger than life. The one below was the one for me.

    There is a lump in my throat and my eyes moist as I write this.

  • Round 1 done!

    Submitted the last of the four apps yesterday (Diwali) morning. The third one was submitted the day before.

    Now sitting tight and waiting for any updates. Meanwhile, I think I should start work on the couple I am targetting for the second round.

  • Happy Deepawali

    So here. I have spelt it correctly. Have fun, hopefully without too many of them crackers.

  • Random Post

    Deadlines waiting to be met. Essays waiting to be tackled. Forms waiting to be filled. Meanwhile, I am here, blogging. “Why the f*%k?” one might ask. Because I am stuck at office for some call which wouldn’t get over before some time.

    The past couple of weeks have been overwhelming. I have acted crazily at times. Flown off the handle easily. Submitted two apps. Attended a very interesting admission event. And yet, the workload doesn’t seem to diminish. Sigh.

    The work at office is not much. But you still got to be there and do it. I am stuck with some sort of a mental block (writer’s block if you will) with the essays for two of the schools I am apping to. Sucks! I am keeping away from all parties, movies, and fun in general. And yet they don’t seem to get over.

    However, today seems to be different. The Master Blaster has achieved the record, and in fine fashion. Dada seems to be doing well. And I think I will be able to complete the first draft for one of my schools. Wish me best of luck people!!
