Fitness Regime

I have decided to hit upon a new fitness new regime this term. I woke up early today and went for a run to Jubilee park which is just a 10 min walk from the XLRI campus. The 600 acre park is a gift from Tata Steel to the town of Jamshedpur. It has its own lake, a zoo, beautifully manicured lawns with fountains and flower beds.
I plan to continue this routine for the next 2 months (i.e. till April end). The food at MDP is quite spicy and oily (also tasty) which means that I have put on quite a few extra kgs. I need to get back to shape before getting back to the corporate world.

4th Term begins !

Today marked the commencement of the 4th term. Only 50% of the batch turned up..most of the guys are expected to reach JSR on Sunday. I think everyone is trying to recuperate from the stress / tiredness of the placement week.
I have decided to take it easy during this term which is the reason why I have not gone for any heavy duty elective. My electives in this term are as follows:

Capital Expenditure Planning and Control
Project Management
Services Marketing
IT Strategy
Contemporary Business Practices
International Management
Sales and Distribution Management
Business to Business Marketing

While I have not opted for M&A, I plan to attend Prof Sengupta's classes since he's one of the very best that I have ever come across during my academic tenure.

Back from Mumbai

Hello Everyone,

I am finally back !
Many of you must be wondering about the reason for taking such a long break from blogging.
To be honest it was a personal decision to lie low & try to focus only on the placements. To that extent, not only blogging but also studies, personal relationships etc everything took a backseat.
The placements have been quite satisfactory from a personal point of view. I have multiple offers in hand from some of the most reputed IT organizations. I must admit though that the scenerio of the job market is not very rosy at the moment.
In general, the batch placements have been excellent. However, my personal impression is that it could have been even better but for the apprehension of a US recession.
I will share some more details about the placements later.
