IRIS!

Its barely been a week since we got back from the 'holidays' and things have swung right back into action.
Academically, the only word that can be used to describe this term so far (one week in total) is - overwhelming. We have a workload like never before. Most courses this term seem Fin oriented and for someone like me who 3 months ago could barely spell 'Finance', it couldn't get better than this (i'm being sarcastic here.. just clarifying :)
And while thats all happening, there is IRIS.
IRIS is the annual festival of IIM Indore and its going to be held between the 10th and 13th of november. Preparations are underway and it just feels so exciting (my name is on the brochure! :D) in the beginning of the year, our seniors told us that if there is one thing for which everyone here gives their all, its IRIS. and i can see how that is true.
check out the iris website. its still under construction but whatever is up looks nice.
thats it from me.. (one more minute and ill be fast asleep)

home sweet home

seems like i just got home and its almost time to leave... i havent even got a chance to meet most of my friends! (thanks to the spoilsport rains) everytime plans are made, there are either havy rains or a flood alert.... bah!
have managed to have a good time nevertheless. did a bit of shopping, got a new hairstyle (!!) , met a few friends, slept a lot, and yes i am eating like there is no tomorrow!!! :) ahh!! the joys of being home!
mumbai on the other hand is as festive as ever, it being ganesh chaturthi. there is a sarvajanik ganesh mandal just outside my gate and every night there is some 'event' happening. (my little neighbour went for the fancy dress contest dressed as colgate!! :D).. the rains although poorly timed do make everything look so nice and fresh (though everytime it rains, the person i happen to be with at that time begins to recount his/her experience during the flood in july - man! mumbai had it bad those days)
had the iim i alumni party last night. was a lot of fun. met up with a few of our classmates. we didnt really know too many of our seniors so it was quite boring in the start but then once the music and dancing started (and once everyone had had a few drinks), age and batch seniority were no bar... everyone was out to prove how stupid they could look while dancing! it was good fun!! felt proud to be a part of the IIMI family!! :)
