Hi Folks,
I'm moving the blog to a new URL EPGP Dreams
This was fun, the application process..... not so much. The uncertainlties of forces beyond our control.... not enjoyable at all.
But, such is life, and it has turned out to be for the good for me.
So best of luck to all, follow the new blog to see the life at IIM Bangalore. The interactions have already begun, the teams are getting into place, and everyone intends to hit the road at breakneck speed.......
But we all know what they say about the roads paved with good intentions.
Lets hope we all end up in a good place

Hello Again, or is it goodbye?
Hi all... to anyone who still has this RSS... I'm going to IIM Bangalore!!!
These have been difficult months for everyone, and I decided to opt out of the US MBA scene. It was a tough decision, but i just couldn't see a way to either justify the investment, or to get the money to invest in the first place. In the turmoil, blogosphere sunk below my radar, though i still read occasional posts. The new 1-yr MBA's by IIM's were still interesting because of lower cost, shorter duration, and almost as importantly the higher age/experience of the students.
I studied them and found only 2 worth applying, IIM A & B. Applied at Ahmedabad, had a great interview (I thought) and was convinced I'd get it. But all I got was a ding. Bangalore depended heavily on the interview, as they had only one essay. I went to India for the interview, and was happy, very happy with it.
I didn't dare to hope, but i got the offer letter, and now I'm in the process of returning to India. And leaving my practice, my institute, and surgery. I'm excited and scared, and determined to make this work.
I hopw it does.

New IIM on the block
IIM bangalore has (finally) decided to jump on the 1 yr bandwagon. I don't know when they posted this, but I saw it today.
Although I'm very excited about it, I have some reservation about being a part of the first batch of anything. Someone close to me is in IIM-L first batch (1 yr) and was complaining of still incomplete facilities and reigning chaos.
Early adaptors, anyone?
