With the national elections looming large...I wonder whether BJP can make any impact this time... i dont think the anti-incumbency factor will work this time considering the results of the assembly elections that were held last month.. but the bigger question is -

Can India also produce a leader in the league of Obama?? Can India have a leader who can inspire people.. who can raise hopes of it's citizens considering the tumultuous 2008.. and dark & uninspiring 2009 looming ahead...

I read an article by Shobha de in the Times of India today and she has mentioned about a book called " Where have all the leaders gone?" by Lee Iococca, the charismatic CEO of Chrylser Corp. It talks about the problems faced by the US of A and how the current leaders of America have moved the country to the brink of depression with a pack of lies. Should be an interesting read... this book goes to my google notebook as a must read book... :) oh btw google notebook is now a dead project... they arent going to make any development in it nor take any new registrations.

And I firmly believe Sanjay Dutt is way better off as our Munna Bhai in Films, rather than trying to behave as one in the real life politics... :)

Happy Republic Day guys!!

One of my new year resolutions was to blog 3-4 times a week if not daily... but i hardly manage to find time to do the same... well the recession doesnt seem to have affected me in any ways.. *toucwood*...infact i m slogging my a** off at work these days..Infact I have never put in this kind of effort as I am these days. May be I am being prepared for something good in future or may be for some tough times ahead, but as ppl say...whatever happens...happens for good..

Obama takes over as the 44th US president tomorrow.. and I am kind of excited... because I have a feeling that he is the right person to lead US of A through one of the worst economic slowdowns the world has ever been through and also considering the dismal performance of his predecessor.

Today being makar sankranti... I decided may be it is an auspicious day to start something concrete or start something new.... I have planned to take my GMAT on 23rd March and my CFA exam in June.. I dont know why but I some times I tend to overload myself with things... but then this is me... unless and until i m pushed to the limit.. i dont perform.. I need to be pushed to the limit to motivate myself...

Ok... for this year.. I am planning to apply to Oxford, HEC and INSEAD business schools...let's c how things work out. 

The reason why i took up the challenge of clearing the CFA was primarily because of 2 reasons -

1. I wanted to understand the the financial structure of a company and various other nuances.

2. I wanted to have something different in my resume to showcase when/if I do get a chance to     be interviewed by some of the top b schools i intend to apply. 

Vendi.. Vidi...

Vici......!!!?? Well I am not sure whether I will be able to conquer what I have set out to achieve... but no harm giving it a try....

Now one might ask what do i want to achieve.... well.. lot many things...but nothing concrete... some vague...  but for now.. i want to make this blog a part of my life... want to make sure I update this regularly... want to update this to keep track of my life...being a confused soul that I am.. :)

Today is makar sankranthi...the day on which the sun begins its journey towards the northern hemisphere...
