GDPI

The journey to IIM K probably began with my interview. It was the first of many interviews I faced that year ( had scored well both in CAT and JMET.)
It is very easier to remember the date of the interview, 14th February 07, Valentine's day. But as I can still clearly remember the interview had no feeling of love and happiness around it. In fact it was one of the most strange and laconic.
Just prior to the interview was a GD in which we were handed over a small news headlines about Panchayat system in India. I have no recollection of what happened in GD apart from the fact that it was fairly peaceful and there was no fish market.
But it was the interview which struck me as very very strange. There were two people on the panel, of which one asked me about the GD itself i.e. the Panchayat system and other it struck to me was some kind of statistician asking me questions related to mathematics.
But to my surprise it was a very very short interview, with no standard interview questions like why MBA, strengths, weaknesses etc.


Ofcourse when I came to know more about these professors once on Kampus, I realized that my interview could not have gone in any different way. One of them was the OM prof, PBS and other economics prof, Sthanu. All my fellow komrades will surely agree that it was one of the best possible interview panel one could have for the interview, though I did not realize that at that time given the laconic nature of the interview.

Thus my first step towards IIM K was fortuitous one.

Back to Blogging

Its a long time I since blogged. Always wanted to... but being one of the most laziest persons around, never did.

But recently I was using the new Picasa, I browsed through some of the old pics of various outings I had with the H Top gang... and realized that I may never get to do that again.

So just in case some of those wonderful memories slip get buried in the pile of junk which my brain gets exposed to, I will save them on this web pages and hope that Google doesn't erase them

Coming next ... the blow by blow account of the 6 terms at IIM Kozhikode
Special coverage of all the outings we had all round Kerala

And if I can continue with my momentum... without being repetitive, review of some the restaurants in Kozhikode
