Still... figuring life out!

Giving up on a chance to play cricket, to attend a blogger's meet would be so uncharacteristic of me but that's exactly what I ended up doing today, primarily to shrug off yesterday's disappointment that emanated after losing out in the second round of the IIT Delhi Chess tourney. The even was fun as usual, didn't win any prize (as usual) and didn't try for it either!

Ever since I opted for Science in my +2, I've primarily been surrounded by people from the following professions:

School friends - Most of them have gone on to become engineers
Manipal engg college friends - right guess... Engineers
3 yr stint in Infosys - Engineers
2 yr MBA stint (currently on) - you guessed it right again - FULL OF ENGINEERS, as that's the qualifying criteria!

So, the purpose of attending such meets is to meet different people, from various professions and exchange ideas and I'm happy to have met people from Army, a research student, a media person who ALSO felt bored of her job and started travelling like a freak, etc etc.

Tomorrow, it'll hopefully be back to cricket and the following week would be spent in presentations, lectures, case studies and financial statement analysis. All charged up to take it - bring it on!
