IIMB professors liked me for this performance and gave me a PGSEM admit.. Now after that, over the last few days I've been subject to lot of brainwashing over this.. Lot of my well-wishers including friends and many family members want me to giv a shot at PGP again .. For the uninitiated, PGP is the flagship program of IIMs , which is a full time course and its members of this course who rake in multimillion offers at the end of the course , whereas PGSEM or Post Graduate Program in Software Enterprise Management is a new program with classes only on friday mornings and saturdays ... Although the course syllabus is broadly the same, PGSEM doesnt have official placements... It is a program meant for working executives.. To do it , you got to have the support of the company where u r working.. And it does not make sense to offer placements under this arrangement.. If u say " Allow me to attend the course along with work , IIM will get me placed " , no comp...

Yesterday night , b'lore got its first summer showers this season..( Did I miss any ? ) .. The immediate beneficiary -- My bike , which got a free wash :) ... Now it looks very clean atleast to my standards .... Some days back a friend joked ( or was she serious :) ? ) that no girl would take a lift on my bike if I kept it this way ( Only bike part that I rub dust off is the mirror and seat :) ) ... Now that the rain Gods have been kind on that aspect lemme see if any luck ( chick ) comes my way :) .... But packed weekend plans now.. I'm off to Vizag and then to Chennai this weekend .. By the time I comeback, bike will be back in old condition :( .. and I being too lazy wont bother to clean till next service.. Or may be the next rain ... :) Ajith

Phew...Another interview after one year at the same campus.. This time, PGSEM@IIMB . Went there with a totally open mind..Only preparation that I did was to go through the SOP which I gave them @ the time of application.. Didnt want to take chances with the traffic on Bannerghatta road..So reached there quite early.. at about 1.15 PM for the 2 PM slot.. Unlike last years PGP experience, the fervour among candidates was not there.. There was a guy sitting there and reading a guide for facing personal Interviews... Thats the heights of nervousness I think.. I was the third one to go in.. There were two profs.. One guy having a slight resemblance to Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi ( A bit thin though ) ..And another one with a beard , resembling a typical 'Malayalam Sahityakaran' .. I would call them P1 and P2.. P1 : Take your seat Ajith. Me : Thank you, nice to meet u.. P1: Tell us something about yourself ( Ah..Is this going to be another customary MBA interview ...
