Submitted my ISB App

So...its been a while since I blogged...about 2 weeks I guess...been a bit busy with work n stuff.

The big news today is that I submitted by application to the Post Graduate Programme in Management at the Indian School of Business. I started filling in this form and writing the essays in the 1st week of June. After many iterations and deliberations, I, finally, hit the submit button today. I believe that I have done justice to my app and, God willing, I should get admission into ISB. A brief look at my profile -
