Was soo damned sleepy in class today... struggled to stay awake during the 1st half. Played some table tennis in the afternoon... look forward to playing some Lawn Tennis this weekend... and maybe some yoga during the week. Need some physical exercise to get the brain cells moving...

My SwissCom Mobile internet card has not been working for the last 10 days... so no internet at home... will hopefully get a replacement USB connectivity tomorrow. Will finally get access to some online Radio and TV :-) ... not that there is much time for that though, but a few minutes of TV before sleeping does a lot good. Managed to see half of 'Kal Ho Na Ho' on Sunday night... have to finish that next weekend.

Another night spent on campus... trying to balance the sheet. Hope to leave before 1 AM. Can hear Chinese / Japanese / French / German / English in the hallways.

A famous Angel Investor gave a guest lecture today... it was inspiring to see how some people are making a real diffrence to the world... living life beyond the usual 9-6 grind and being passionate about what they do! You can merge your personal life with your professional life ... the "Whole Life Plan", as against the "Deferred Life Plan"...

A bit drowsy with last night's hangover... the vodka's still floating around in the system. But the bright side is that am done with the next week's assignment readings all the way upto Wednesday... hopefully will manage a few more before going to bed tonight.

Some friend's dropped by from London today... brought along some heat-and-eat Indian curries... that's one thing you dont get easily in Lausanne.

The study group will meet in 10 minutes now and plans to continue till late night... so that takes care of the what's left of this beautiful Sunday afternoon...

IMD - end of week 3

First 3 weeks of the IMD MBA program have passed by in a blink of an eye! We have only 2 days during the week - 1 long weekday (starting Monday 6:30 AM and going onto Friday midnight) and a super tight weekend. I've done more reading in the last 3 weeks than I did in the last 3 years combined.

The combined energy of 90 students from 45 countries is amazing. The anxieties of the first few days are gone... particiants are begining to know each other better. The extensive course focus on group dynamics and leadership has helped all of us get a better grip on our mutual simlarities and diffrences.

looking forward to getting drunk over the weekend and letting go of all the case studes floating around in the head...
