Soup Survival

March 8, 2025January 27, 2012 by Vik

Life is getting really busy, days are getting longer and hectic, nights are getting shorter and sleepless, and survival on (ahem) soups has become quite common. With the rain of cases, mid-terms, other course stuff, outside course stuff, club activities, global projects, social gatherings, etc. and etc., pouring over your head, would you really have time to cook?! Of course not. But do not worry. That is why such great inventions as soups exist. Easy …

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!

March 8, 2025November 30, 2011 by Vik

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 …

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 …

Catch-up II

March 8, 2025July 8, 2011 by Vik

I haven’t been blogging lately. Last post was in May and a lot has happened since then. Osama Bin Laden is indeed dead 🙂 but that is not what concerns me. Ofcourse, for the world and especially the USA it is a revenge finally taken but for me I have better things to worry about at the moment. So, I am in Delhi, the part of the world I call home and the place where …

Catch-Up

March 8, 2025April 29, 2011 by Vik

Been a while since I blogged. A lot has happened. First let me start with my MBA pursuit. Feels proud to say I am finally committed to Purdue University’s Krannert School of Management. It is an awesome school and to be accepted with a 1/4 GA (Graduate Assistantship) is an accomplishment for me. “1/4 GA?”, you said. That’s right. It basically means I work 10hrs a week for the School and get paid a little …
