One More Reject and Thumping Victory!!!

I am 2-0 down in my MBA pursuit.. Got a Reject letter from INSEAD..so ISB and INSEAD are ruled out.. I am left with only 3 more schools. Meanwhile, I have already started listing advanatges why MBA is not the right thing for me.. Those would be the excuses I would have to use if i dont get a Admit :D..


Anyways, the week belonged to Cricket..India 2-0 down [ Even they were 2-0 down, hopefully I would turn the tables the way indians did :) ] , fought hard and won the historic match..Hope such victories keep coming to us !!!


I feel taking the defeat into the stride is an quality that greats possess. reading so-called cricekt greats mention that aussies lost coz they were "un-australian" in the way they appealed and showed aggression, was funny. "The streak of 16 str8 victories was halted because aussies had to play in the spirit of the game".

Dont think there is any bigger insult to aussie's record in saying that they won 16 in row because they intimidated umpires and claimed dropped catches..

Come on !! Aussies played better cricket and hence they won 16 in a row.. and at perth, Indians played better... Accept the defeat, Guys..:)

Meanwhile, an desire to improve my finance led me to read couple of books.. At least it made me realize how poor money manager I am :) . Reading "Cashflow Quadrant" of Robert Kiyosaki [ Rich Dad, Poor Dad Fame] was eye-opener. Want to understant the stock market better and hence have started reading "All about Stocks".. Will have to see how far I go in this new-year resolution to "read Books"..

Bus neend aa rahi hain , let me go!!! bbye

Great write up shek.
And, Yes, India's sweet victory over Ozzies was a great welcome, We always come between Aus and the world record it seems. But the match was great. Dont worry about the rejects( i know you dont).
Keep writing.
