One More down

Submitted the third one today. Somehow managed to put up the show, finally stitched all the pieces together. Called up dad and asked my cousin sis to scan and mail some documents, recklessly careless me. Need luck here as my boss screwed up his recommendation, still I have made request if they accept may be I will have better chance. Anyways PawanG was more enthu on working this one than me. It was he who called up and checked if I need some help. May be people like giving gyaan. Doesn't matter I would say I am 50% hopeful on this one.

Saari called up at 10pm local time thinking that some bank might be open in dubai where he could make a DD. I sugested him one or two things dont know if that worked.

Mom is going to Blore tomorrow alone for the first time in airplane and to some non Hindi state.She is worried :( Hopefully everything should be good.

I will wrote about BKG ka marriage later, but Radha is cute. I could not enjoy the food properly because of somany roadside distractions. We had pyaaz ki kachori at Jodhpur sweet followed by a Jumbo size [shop standard was medium] glass of freshlime juice and one hour after this dinner is served. :( all of us were sitting and staring each other while our hero BKG was busy eating. Next day we got up late and had Poha with Jalebi and after 45 min uncle asked us to have Daal-Bafale (a different version of Bati) with Kari and sweets etc. Again we could not eat. :(.

sleepy now will continue tomrrow.

For me the pipeline or funnel might not be required anymore.

Writing on the Wall

It seems to be the writing on the wall "Ankur we regret to inform you that.... you have missed the bus again". And I seem to be not doing anything for this. As Mitra said the effort you have put in the application reflects in your essays and yours truly spanning the world didn't had dedicated time for his own application for next year. At times and places the "compromise" together with the ambiguity is further sinking me down. Further the competition with economies sinking down is worsening the situation. Those financial guys with deep pockets dont think about the interest rates and returning the loan so all the schools are open.

This negativity is somehow not letting me think clearly and appreciate different aspects. Taking the positive out of the "financial" applications: I might be distinct, but how good is my marketing of the distinctiveness. The I-bankers and the researchers could also put in their exposure point. World travel everyone has, who cares about the extensiveness.

Spoke to pc yesterday for 20 min chat and we both were quiet!!! somethings from here and there but nothing good. We are 5 Hours apart.

I have put on good amount of weight and now I am motivating myself to climb up three floors in my building hopefully tomorrow. I worked hard at home and ate hard as well. Spent two nights out of home!! played 3 patti at abhinav's place and lost 80AED came back at 5:00. Lots of things happened. We 6, Abhinav, Shishir, Abhilash, Ritesh and Priyanka (PJ) went to Nahargarh, the RDB fort. 4 of these guys were driniking and I as a good obedient boy didnt. On the way to top we stopped to watch the lighting etc, then came a police jeep. I had a can which I had placed on the car dicky. Just before the Policeman got down I picked it up and was holding behind me. Then he called up driver so Ritesh went up to him and showed his license etc. The policeman allowed him to drive with lots of comment etc and waited for us to get going. In the mean time I had placed the can on the boundary wall. Now how could I leave the can outside calling forth all the H2 PAF stealing skills I picked up and smuggled it in the car. Somehow was very exciting. :D

On diwali day called up sharad at 11:15 and we roamed on the roads in his car till 4:30 am. Geting more daredevil we had 7 sticks each. Our discussions moved from one thing to other and so did the car. We started fom my place went to MI road. Then moved to main railway station after this we thought we should have long drive now so we went to someplace beyond Sanganer. which was about 40Km + I think we should have spanned more than 100km that night in 4 hours. I was thinking mom & dad would be sleepping so I could easily sneak in but to my surprise mom was up and due to some traditon stuff she was doing something. It couldnt be much tougher after half hour I went inside and went to sleep after cleaning up. But I am taking too many chances!!!

I am getting impatient, it seems to me, always have a feeling just finish it off. I would say the product of environment stuff. Another one came but of no success. Everyone has different take on this. Lets see how it goes. Sanity you need the Sanitary market manager.

This ambiguity kills me and still I am writing this blog and doing all the other nonsense stuff.

Cheers mate!!

Feedback

So yesterday I had this feedback session with Tuck. As usual careless me, just woke up right in time to make a call rather then devise the questions. Wrote a few questions, generic ones. No pre call preparations, like what to anticipate etc.
She surprised me by asking what I think of my application? OKay somehow I told something though in calm fashion. To which she said fine. Then came the real blow.
We think your GMAT is below average (Is 710 so bad? I know its not good but still....)
Then your uniqueness essay is just not good while the Leadership is good.

You need to do community service and better do it.

Thats it. rest all comments were generic you should improve in overall write new story etc.

Lets see, its nice that I took the feedback will help me decide if I really want to spend my USD5ooo this year.

Good Luck & Cheers !!!
