End of Week 3

Time has been running very fast and I couldnt believe that we are almost done on half of the term. It has been very tiring as well as exciting so far. To start on where I left on the blog, the Software Entrepreneurs was a very good oppurtinity for us to meet some of the great leaders. I was able to catch up with Pat House, Co-Founder of Siebel for a lot of time. She was very down to earth and she discussed with us on how she started Siebel, why she started Siebel, what are her plans going on, her career before siebel etc., Its really exciting to find out how one should tap at the oppurtinity. I hosted Charlie Muirhead (Founder of Nexagent, www.nexagent.com). He is one another great entrepreneur out of a bunch that came on that day. He is very open on discussing what things one require to be successful as an entrepreneur. His success is a best example of what he told us. Met few more who had some good food for thoughts.

Oxford Alumni meet at Deutche Bank HQ in London is one another event that I attended this week. It was a good experience to meet some successful alumni and to learn what they would have done differently in the school, looking back. They had shared their experiences on job search and Summer Consulting Project. It was more of finance focussed, but I would say it added a little value to me as well.

I attended the presentations of Diamond Consultants and IBM at the business school. These were pretty much the beginning of the Consulting presentations. I happened to meet some of the prospective MBAs at the first open day of the year which was held last friday.

India-Pakistan community's Eid celebration with a good dinner was a kind of star of the week. Getting good food is looking finding Oasis in the desert for me now.

This week has a deadline of selecting electives for the next term. Though I havent spoke much about whats happening in the class, I have been spending close to 6-8 hrs on an average per day for class work. We have submitted 4 assignments so far which will be assessed. Our group got 60% in the first assignment which is not bad of a first attempt. People targeting for distinction might find this hard, but not me :)

Here are few snaps to look at:
