Hello again, Blogworld!

Dear Readers,

Sorry for the break in my communication. Pooja and I are both in INSEAD now. We started session on Jan 9th, 2006. It's been a life shaking experience since then. We're slowly coming out of the shock!

Okay - imagine you are in a cozy little tent by the river side. You know that you can't live just by the side of the river and never even venture into it. You know that the river will be cold. It's a Himalayan river after all! You know that you can't sit in your cozy little tent all your life. You decide to shake up and wake up and prepare for your venture into the mighty Ganges. So you start arranging for the logistics, prepare yourself mentally.

But when the time for the plunge actually arrives, and you take the plunge - you feel the cold. You are mentally prepared but still reality bites! The river's flowing at an alraming pace - it's icy cold! People who've been ther before are doing much better than you. Your raft is going through rapids and rocks and beaches. The river's flowing downstream, there's no way you can row against the current and get back upstream!

MBA is the same story. So those of you sitting by the shores and waiting for God-alone-knows-what, think about it! The river's calling .. Can you hear it? May be you won't hear me that often while I'm in the river.

Log off for now - but promise to be back soon.

Cheers
Duncan

Jez pondy - i think there is something to do with schools and similies in your case - whenever you are at school you start talking about rocks et tents et al - anyways jokes apart - good to see you back on the blogging world - i myself have to get back too - i am sure INSEAD is keeping you reallllllly busy - but do send us updates on the program, how you like it, +'s and -es etc - hv fun!
