Its been a crazy fortnight. Pressure's building up and people are beginning to crack... to the extent of receiving profesional counselling. Am doing OK till now... had just 2 hours of sleep last night, and it's gonna be a late night tonight as well. Maybe I am going crazy as well... today I tried to move the cursor pointer from my laptop screen onto the screen of the laptop next to me... :-)

Going through the infamous 'Integrative Exercise' since yesterday... its a case study which we have to dissect over 2 days by analysing it from all possible perspectives - financial, marketing, strategy and organizational. Its a live case about the introduction of a new product in Pakistan in 2007... the story is still evolving. People have been eating and sleeping on the campus since yesterday.

There's been a substantial amount of focus on emerging markets in the program till now. The econ prof - Ralf, gave us an excellent big picture perspectve on what's happening in the world ... India and China are changing their chips and that is causng fundamental changes in the global scenario. I wish to go back and participate in the growth of my country... there's so much that can be done back there !
