Spring is here..

Not much is going on except the radical change in the weather. It is 50 outside and to me it is like a summer... I am sweating!!! seriously, till last week it was freezing cold and all of a sudden it is the 50s week... yesterday was almost 60! Oh! my and this week is the daylight saving.. how exciting.. we gain back one hour and it is going to be longer.. maybe I can soon start running outside...

I have started hitting the gym again.... this past few days not much of running though.... doing cycling and elliptical.. not slowly try to hit the running regime...

What else... had a chance to listen to Promod Hauque yesterday. It was a great talk. Promod had graduated from Kellogg back in '83 and is now one of the top Venture Capitalist based out of Silicon Valley. His firm is called Norwest Venuture Patners. These type of talks are always so insightful as you are getting the first hand experience. Another such experience for me comes from The" Leadership" taught by former CEO of Baxter. I am bit sad..... I really am by the fact that the class is done. It was a great class. Getting perspective on the topic of leadership directly from a leader added a lot of value. There were lot of takeaways from the class. To me that strikes the most is to the Self Reflection part. I do believe it is very important to sit back and reflect on yourself. Take time out for yourself and reflect on your behavior, career actions and then prioritize. I know for fact that i have to work a lot to get these prioritize... but I have realized the importance of it.

" Most failures occur not because of complacency, but through overreacting. " This is a profound statement that each needs to put in mind if you want to want succeed by becoming a leader someday! Focus, Focus and Focus!

The Spring break at Kellogg starts next week...and 10 more weeks and then the school year for class of '10 will be done.

Weekend plan-- not much.. Pras has his exam.. I need to start clearing the closet and other stuff... Too much junk in the house!
