long time

It was, conceivably, a perfect day..... Class ended at 8:00 and I got to come home straight after that.

Should I start to countdown till the end of my school (which is very very close) I wonder..... have a mixture of both YES and NO feeling… 'Yes' cause I only I have 4 weeks of school left .. 'NO', cause this means innumerable Workload!!!!!

Huffing and puffing, I have made this far.. And 90% of the credit goes to dear husband for all the encouragement and patience. Had it not been for his encouragement, I would not have reached here.

Internship is going on fine. I am learning more and more about Bloomberg and S & P Index and all of a sudden, I am hooked to CNBC news….isn’t it ironic !!

Harry Potter’s final book is out. I talked with my sister yesterday, who still does not have the newest book and all her friends back in Liverpool has it. I have only read the first two. At the moment, I am still reading Anita Desai’s Fasting and Feasting, which surprisingly has taken me longer to finish than I had expected.At this pace, it might take me another month to finish it.

The new book for Khaled Hosseni is out.. I want to read that one and I am pretty confident, that I will finish that book in couple of weeks!!....not months.. like the past few ones…

Lately, I have been dreaming of traveling.. I want to travel.. I want to go to Manchu Pichu.. for no particular reason. Since the time I have watched the movie “Motorcycle Diaries,” I wanted to go there..

I believe in Traveling..

I believe in the power of travel to change — to change individuals, communities and the collective global consciousness. I believe that it is only through personal understanding of different peoples and cultures that we can progress as a society.

It is 11:00 at night. It is bed time for me. I wanted to catch up my blogging... The day was kind of misty today. Looking outside the window, I see the moon...And the moon, the moon with its inconstant face, slipping through the turbulent sky like a fish through the rapid danger of the shoals, smooth and perfect and utterly unknowable.

Adieu!

I am sitting at home, doing my Gillette Case write up, (which is almost done) and watching the program called “High Net worth Individuals” at CNBC channel. I have been trying to follow the news at CNBC for last hour and half. Since at work, they have the CNBC news on all day, I thought it was going to be useful for me to brush up my financial knowledge. AND! I actually enjoyed the news…

High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI) was interesting program. They had an interview with Laxmi Mittal and Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice. Since the "Beckhams" have just moved to the US, the whole financial world has their eyes on them.. They indeed are the High Net worth individuals.

Then suddenly, another interesting thing caught my eye. It was about “Jet Airways.” For some reason, I always thought, Jet Airways was from back home, however, to my dismay it is not. Anyways, back to the interesting stuff, the news was that, the CEO of Jet Airways, Mr. Naresh Goyal, revealed the world's most revolutionary interiors and most luxurious airline seats including their First Class Bedroom Suites. “The passenger will have their private butler,” Mt Goyal emphasized.

The total cost of this airline ticket from Mumbai to NY is approximately, 14,0000 $$ and the GREAT Mr. Goyal is worth $1.5 billion. Very very interesting!!!

It is hot!!! For some reason, I want it to rain and storm like it never has before. I wonder what it is about storms... or just snow... that makes the sky burn late at night.

Reading wise, I have started reading, Anita Desai's "Fasting and Feasting".. So far, nothing exciting has happened yet, but I am pretty sure, in next couple of chapters, it will be all exciting.. :)

When I came closer I saw that the fire dancers were out, twirling at the center of blazing trails of heat, their skin glistening gold and orange in the light... This was my dream.. I think I was in a jungle.. alone... no body on my side. I have been getting this feeling a lot lately.. don't know why....those...Lonely dreams.. :)

However, being alone did not make me unhappy. I was not SAD in my dream. Infact, quite content. Because in the end, what will it matter? What comfort can it possibly bring me? How will it justify my life to be first in the eyes of another? Only I can validate my existence. Surely it isn't right to put my hope in a fallible being. BLAH !! Blah... I am not making a single sense am I? It has been a rough week/days for me :)

Because of the hectic schedule, I wish I was living in a dorm. Sleep, get up in the morning go to school/work and then back to the dormm.. For instance, today, I have class until 10:30....... I will be dead tierd by then..

Work was interesting. Made graphs using Excel today and it was neat. It was really hot outside and I beleive it is. I feel like taking a nap.. a long nap..

I wonder, sometimes, how we keep ourselves above the despair that looms yawningly below us as we tread the fragile bridge of everyday life. I do not do anything but simply WONDER!!!

I'm full of wishes but even more full of fear.

Days has been tedious. Workload is gradually piling up. Presentation, mid-term and paper-- all lined up for next year.

Intership wise-- it is going Great. Everyday has been a learning expereince. I learned to make a Equity chart in the Excel sheet. I have always been an avid user of p.point but I guess, excel is more popular in the financial world.

I just got done with one meeting. Another meeting will start soon...

Summer 1 has finally finished. It is summer 2 now. I have 5 more weeks to go, and then I am done with the 'studying' part of the MBA.

In addition to that, I have started an internship. I work until 2 in the afternoon and then head back to my class. The experience has been good so far. So far, I have learned about Client's Portfolio Review, comparing ROR with S& P index and today, I learned about filing a litigation claim for a client.Tomorrow, I am planning to take a Bloomberg prep course once again.

Even though, I am not finance major, working at ML has been fun. I have learned a lot!!
Summer has been nice and pleasant. Yesterday we went to the fort near the airport and enjoyed watching the “Take off " and "landing," until the rain ruined the peaceful evening.

Saturday, we went to Motu dai's Picnic and then latter half of the day was mostly shoppingg ugghhh!

Today is intermediate. Suspended in time, in space. It's got that gray feeling of not being a peak or a valley but somewhere lost on the slope. In between. I should be doing something but I don't know what it is. Class starts soon.
