Surprise!

January 30, 2006

Well today was a sweet and sour surprise. I opened my Inbox to find mails from my friends in India saying “Kapil Lalwani in ET” and I thought may be this is the April Fool being played early. But then I slowly discover that this is not a joke but truth.

On 30 Jan 2006, Economic Times in India published a special feature on International Management Education and in this they featured an article on Indian students doing MBA abroad. They nicked (I am assuming as I did not give them) quote and a photo from my student diary on MBS website and used it in the article.

I have uploaded a scanned copy of the article here. If you want to read the original 1016 X 1548 version of the scanned article then click here.

Sleazy buggers EcoTimes people but then I guess I do not have enough reason to complain as long as they say slightly nice things about me :) or even neutral thoughts for that matter!

Need some sleep!

January 27, 2006

Yeah, that’s what I have been thinking about since ….. well, since the start of this semester I guess. Life has only grown more chaotic with companies visiting campus, applications for internships, networking events and what not. To add to this we have a long list of submissions this semester including presentations and reports.

Just got done with PMO class presentation and M&A Ranking document, phew! More to come, 2 PMO workshop presentations, strategy presentation, operations management poster, M&A negotiations, M&A justification document and exams! Holy Fish!

Investment Banking Society as MBS recently organized a networking event in London, an informal meeting platform for our alumni, faculty and current students. Event had a decent turnout of alumni from various banks! AT Kearney and Exxon shortlisted people for interviews …. all the best guys!

Need to chalk out something for March, before Sheetal kills me :) we have one week of holidays. Scotland, Skiing, Nowhere? I will try and figure it out by mid Feb.

Adios

Excerpt from my diary post on MBS website:

The time was passing by quickly as we realised the autumn term was around the corner with loads of learning on the way. Reminds me of a quote by Carol Bishop: Bittersweet October - The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.

The matter on the diary comes more or less from my thoughts here on this blog. Another diary posting: http://www.mbs.ac.uk/mbs-people/mba-diary/kapil-lalwani-2.htm
