Just thought of giving some updates ...

Just thought of giving some updates ...

It has been nine months since I joined Amazon. Life has been hectic ... I am doing program management and project management for a big cool project ... Will write about it after the product release as its confidential ... Am trying to move to product management side and have got a lot of interest towards open source and web technologies recently ...

Still a Bachelor ... Spend my weekends mostly watching movies or by browsing ... Life looks peaceful to brain but still heart says something is missing ...

And thats it ...

All is Well That Ends ...

Today I thought of writing my last post of this blog.

Well... It has been a week since I joined Amazon.com as a Technical Product Program Manager (TPPM). Salary is more than my ISB loan ... I have landed at my dream job.. I am very delighted ... Back at work I feel like a different person... I am not anymore afraid of jargons such as Network effects or Core Competence. The place is cool, informal and filled with a lot of brilliant guys ... We have guys from likes of MIT and Carnegie Mellon...

I have moved to Bangalore. The future looks bright. So atlast a happy ending to my MBA life and to my sweet blog. I thank all the readers for their encouragement. Best of Luck for future ISB aspirants !!

Note: I will be blogging on my work and software related topics at http://silicongods.blogspot.com/ Techies can catch me there ...

I would also be a part of http://weirdweirdblog.blogspot.com

I am at my home in Pollachi, reclining after the hectic ride for one year. I think I would be joining on April 11th itself and so the break is not for a long time. I might not join Deloitte. I will give other details after joining.

Well ... We have come to the end of our ISB life. Graduation ceremony was great with Dan, Anil Ambani, Kiran Mazumdar, Godrej, Rajat Gupta and other board members ...

Today we got the yearbook. It has come out pretty well and will definitely serve as a nostalgic memento...

I was busy today with packing stuff, getting no dues etc. I will leave the campus Tomorrow ...

Today we had the graduation rehearsal and group photos. It was pleasant to see the whole atrium covered with graduation gowns and hats. As usual, ISB event management is at its best and the decorations are mindblowing. ASA is putting a lot of efforts to avoid bad media reports on event management as it happened with IIMB.

My packing is done and I will courier them Tomorrow. I am not able to control the nostalgic feelings ... Its time to part ISB ...

Yesterday we had our Graduation party at ITC kakhatiya. It was good fun. finally we have become MBA Graduates ...

Yesterday Placom met with the entire CAS team to give its feedback. We also had a high tea for all the students hosted by CAS. Today we have a dinner at CAS Directpr's house and then PLACOM has a party at some pub.

I think we are closing the placement process Tomorrow with 100% placement. Around April 11th, we will have a national press conference to announce the figures. I think the average this year will be a digit more than last year's.
