Apr 1st

It’s been a while I scribbled something on my blog. Today is the perfect day to be back in action. Yesterday night I went to a good restaurant with four 3 other guys. I love this crowd - a guy is doctor, another guy a lawyer and the third is an IIM A pass out, working as a Manager in a retail firm, and me :-) .

The discussions were far fetched with varying topics. The issues with the current Quota system in IIMs, the scams happening in hospitals, the advantages of being a doctor in a military hospital, the difference of taking an MBA from IIMs and the foreign universities, the life style of investment bankers etc. To add fire to these discussions, I had couple of Smirnoff vodka with lime cordial :-)

Days are running by and I have 19 days left for my GMAT and 28 days left for my marriage. I took another exam and got a 640 (Quant - 48 and Verbal – 28). I am not at all satisfied with this score. This will not help me get any where near to a top 10 American university. I am looking for a score of 700. There is huge scope of improvement in Verbal. With Quant, I would assume that I should be able to score around 50 with some more practice.

Marriage preparations are in full swing. I am planning for a bachelor’s party in Bangalore. Most of the invitations are sent out. Some shopping activities pending which I plan to complete today.
