Adventures of me post baptism

Long time.Hope life's treating you well. My training period is over and I was proved wrong in assuming that training is honeymoon period. Was made to slog a bit. Got a project with -------------. My analyst is ---------. Looks like a chink. He gave a stinker feedback of my sample report. So used to being appreciated for most of the works done hitherto, this came as a not so welcome shock to my ego. 'Welcome to Corporate world'. Was reminded of P.Sudarshan (PAPC). For a moment I thought I should leave the company and start my own business. Glad he decided to continue with me. He thinks I'll improve down the line. Let him think. He believes my summers in Infra sector will help me track the construction and Infrastructure industry in---------------. LOL. Somebody should take the initiative to enlighten the world as to what we MBA s doing during our course and summers. Anyways, now I have to build a model for the top 3 engg design companies in -------------- should see the mails we write – "Hope you are doing good… Looking forward to work with you…. Hope it'll be a learning experience…. I would love to take up extra responsibilities.. Hope I am not disturbing you.. When can I call you…" !@#!@$@!#$. Working with Indians is much simpler. They may not respect you but at least you know they are not happy when they say – YOU LADY… Look what you've done!!!.

Let's move on to the lighter side. Am driving my car all around the city now. Was proud of my driving skills and maneuvering ability TILL THIS MORNING. One half naked cyclist caused a big scratch mark on my black car
L. Once I knew that the car hit him I kept moving … hence a long strait white color mark. L This happened on Doraisamy subway. Tnagar (one of the busiest areas… for those who do not know). This man then parks his Ferrari right in front of my car…in the middle of the road… and starts shouting "Naaaye.. unakku ottaa theryiyaadu… Adichitu nee maatuku poittee irukka.. Naaaye..!@#$$!$ !@#$!@#$#@$ " . NO TRANSLATION FOR THOSE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS.

I kept mum. What else could I do? Daddy says "The onus is always on the bigger vehicle" Tatas should make cars smaller than cycles. Am starting to learn things the harder way. : P

That was not quite the lighter side.

Saw the first Chennai match in Chepauk stadium. Chennai vs Mumbai. A group of 15 BIMites.. BIM 22 and 21. Going for the match on 24th vs Rajasthan Royals. Irevna is booking tickets. Had an induction party in Raintree Hotel. 23rd I have a team Party at The Accord. So life's not all that bad for me. Took Nano & Shilpi for a drive to Praggy's house to collect our sweatshirts. Hit Abhi;s place on the way back. Not much of BIM meets but for these. Bala came to our office. Thankfully it was lunch time and not many people were there. He missed a good sight. The girls here are quite pretty.

RK is not happy with the money and he is looking at something really BIG (I meant an entrepreneurship venture GUYS). So his day goes away in Dabbawala thoughts. In fact he disappears after lunch. Busy with business deals. : P. Nano comes and leaves as he likes. Shilpi studies for her CFA. Ulti is busy in the next building. When asked as to what he was doing this is what he had to say "Research on option pricing formula assuming non-gaussian distribution without dynamic hedging and analyzing volatility models under conditionally heteroskedastic stochastic processes". In short.. Googling. I actually thought he was was doing that. ITS ULTI AND HE IS CAPABLE OF It

Gotta go now. FavORITE show on TV.
