...the mckinsey way...

they call it the bible of consulting...and i guess i was drawn by this more than the cover...! started reading it yesterday and the first few pages are like this...

"dude...u know what...i have worked at mckinsey for 3 years....yahhh..you read it right...3 god damn years...thats like a lot of time..! and during this period i got to know everything possible about mckinsey...about the operations...the malfunctions...the client's...the client's wives....everything...! and then one fine day...when i quit...and realized that i am short of a gigillion dollars every month....i decided to write a book...and earn money. so here i am...!!!!!"

i have my apprehensions reading about mckinsey from someone who was there for 3 years. its like...after my 3 yrs at US i write a book titled..."US: What you didnt know about it and always wanted to..."...but lets see..i will still read it. might turn out to be good...

yesterday was norma otherwise. with the stats midterm approaching...everyone seems to be drowning in the SDs and the SEs and the means...and what nots. but its good to see people taking exams so seriously even when they are like 27...(on an average). talks a lot about the enthu and the dedication levels.

Amazing news...R has got another RO for lacs and she is using her charmto fetch another 2 odd. well...girls do have a way around things...and especially for someone as smart as her...it really doesnt take much for a guy to fall for her and gift her a 32K pen...!!!!!!! (YYYaaahhhhhhhh....thats right...i mean...dude...at what precise point during your interaction with her DID YOU LOOSE IT...!!!)

oh...because i 'so - a - manage - a - my time - a - well - a'....(ahem ahem!)...i was watching a movie last night..which ditched me towards the middle cause of a scratched CD. the movie is 'bridges of madison county'...the book was lovely and the movie was too...as much as i had seen it. its a pity i cudnt finish with it..!

last evening..the soap box presentation for the GSB president were held. pretty funny and interesting stuff. there are 5 candidates and all are as good as they are bad. so its going to be a tough battle with stupid lobbying and campaigning..."hello..my name is chintu...please vote for me...jai hind..!"

am standing for the post of VP-MCC (marketing and comm council). i have heard this draws the largest female participation...so i didnt have to think too hard on this. elections are next week...!

looking forward to today...take care...
