Back in Business Baby!

Guess who's back, back again....shady's back, tell a friend!

Well not really, it's actually me who's back, permanently i hope. I beg forgiveness for the unbelievably lame comeback-line. After having disappeared for more than half a year, i'm back; older, quieter and hopefully smarter. :-D

In case you haven't noticed, the name of my blog has changed from "A Day in the Life of an Ordinary Teenager" to "A Day in the Life of an Ordinary Ex-Teenager". Yes, alas, it's true. I am no longer a teen, which means i'm ooooooooooooold! *sob* It's been a while now that i've been 20, so i've had time to get used to the idea. Nevertheless, that does not mean i like it. Hmph. But oh what the hell, it happens to everyone. :-p

Anyway, i guess i owe everyone (or anybody who's still around) an update. So let's see, here goes nothing.

In case you've been paying attention, you must have gathered that i am now 20. So let's not dwell on that anymore.

I am a few months away from graduating. Surreal.

Took a whole bunch of MBA exams and am now hoping to get through someplace decent. At the risk of sounding conceited, it would be pretty sad to end up in a crummy MBA-school after SRCC. In case nothing works out this year, i'll be left with no option but to drop a year, and work. Which i'm really not too keen on doing. Plus i haven't got placed yet. :-p

Have switched from a nosering to a black stud. Mixed responses. Some people liked it. My brother thought i looked like a south-indian fisherwoman. But what the hey, i like it!

Was pleasantly surprised to find out that someone other than Mika or Stereo Nation(!!!) would be performing at Crossroads in my final year in college, and hence would not be forced to go to Polo Grounds or Mecca(the Hindu fest) on pop night. Consequently, nearly got crushed to death in the mad rush that ensued to watch KK perform. Saw Parikrama perform at Hindu, which means i got to see them play all three years as a DU student, for which i am very glad. Take a look here to find out about the beginning of my relationship, if i can call it that, with Parikrama. :-p

Anyway, guess that's enough info for the time being. One must not bore one's readers.

Got back from Jaipur last night. And i am in love with the city. It is a BEAUTIFUL city, and i was sad about having to come back to Delhi. Three days just aren't enough to enjoy the place. I loved everything about Jaipur - the forts and palaces(which are breathtaking), the food, Chokhi Dhani, the camels(!!) plus the hotel we were staying in. It's a haveli converted into a hotel. It was absolutely gorgeous. Anyway, am dying to go back and see the places i missed.

Okay, this has gone on for too long, and i must stop. So i shall vamoose, though only temporarily.

Goodbye, and until next time, enjoy the weather. It's not gonna last!

Shady?!With the kind of candor a...ummm... 6 (?) year long friendship may be expected to impart, that was indeed a lame comeback line :P Yeah, yeah I know what you're thinking; people who live in glass houses and so on and so forth. Trust me, I've been planning to write a blog as well; I'm just such a great planner that I don't feel like doing anything beyond that.

You're right, SRCCians (that what you call yourselves?) should not end up in crummy business schools. And who says you have to work if you drop a year? Travel the world! You can even claim 'international exposure' when you apply to B-schools again :D

But great post... as always, I derive vicarious pleasure when you write an entry (since I'm too lazy to do so myself)

I liked 'shady's back' better.
People attach way too much of their lives to age.
