I am joyous to say I have completed 25% of my MBA journey! Looking back, my last performance wasn’t one of my best. I could have done better but that’s all gone now. The only thing possible is to be best in future. And I will be!
So, I mentally calculated how much the upgrades are going to set me back by. RAM – probably $50 or so, Blu Ray drive about the same, graphics card about $60 or above and USB card about $30. Total about $200. I could do that! There was one more thing. I figured from online research, that my motherboard could only support RAM up to a maximum of 2GB. That shattered my plans. However, I was …
Few weeks back, during the week of Black Friday, I was thinking of buying an Xbox to play video games on my HDTV. I have a Nintendo Wii but there’s only so much you can do with it. Not that I don’t enjoy playing games on it. I do. However, the type of games you can play is very limited. So, why did I buy the Wii? Well, it is fun to play on it …
Next Tuesday is my first final for this mod. That is followed by two more finals, one on Wednesday, and the other on Thursday.

It has been over 3 months since the start of the school and now just under 6 months are left for the start of the summer break when most of us are supposed to do our internships. 6 months seem to be long time, however, trust me as I have heard from every one over here, those 6 months pass by quickly. As I think about that, I realize that coming months are going to …
Just got my Samsung Focus S delivered. It is an amazing phone and the Windows OS is simply fantastic. I am overly excited to explore it further having already configured all email accounts, facebook and twitter on it. One complaint though – I noticed it synced my Purdue Exchange and Google calendar by default. What ended up happening was, I got duplicate entries on my calendar. The reason being the two calendars are already synced. …
Heard Bob McDonald speak today at Purdue. It was an honor to be present over there and learn his experiences of how he landed up at P&G from the military academy, and how his life’s expectations always matched to what he did during the course of his career progression. Among the 10 things he talked about related to leadership, and of course citing stories from P&G and his life, the one thing that really fascinated …
