Monday,5th May

What a day. My princess Dhwani’s bday- turns 1 today and I aptly put it on FB..counting the number of likes has been a perennial passion and today it touched nearly 200

Was in this PGPX@IIM-A grappling with AS-9, monopoly and oligopoly, solver etc. Couldnt help. By the time, I could realize I could be there, a to and fro air journey was worth Rs 18k..and I dont earn any more these days.

So the home-sickness turned a 52 week high. Suddenly start questioning the rationale behind quitting  a well-settled job  and trying to get this degree ..fancy degree from IIM-A J (sirf naam hi kaafi hai) . Kept remembering my talks with various seniors and juniors. In Kolkata, you get CAs dime a dozen and I wanted to be differentiated slightly from the masses else I had feared I would get lost in it

Saving grace: accts quiz..finished it in 10 min flat ..reached the exam hall 5 minutes late and left 5 minutes earlier in a 20  minutes quiz. In an MBA course where 80% of participants are engineers, you feel super cool as a CA. It was a cash flow statement which our Sudarshan Sir had injected into our arteries years ago

And finally the evening pics ..Sonia had decorated the place really well

Have decided to become a bit stoic and not let emotions get the better of me…don’t know whether I’ll succeed.  Its imp that I read and derive the joy of learning , finally could manage to read the DOMD cases.........even if I feel lost in this rat race
