Adieu to GE and Bangalore!!!

Its finally here.....My last week at work and getting all the details in place.i had given a 2 month notice period and it has been a really harrowing phase for the past few weeks.

I took the advice of some seniors and bought the Marketing management book by Kotler.Read a couple of chatpers and was reasonably interesting...most of the case studies were very good.
It was great to see GE mentioned as a premier strategy comapany and frquent mentions as a benchmark company.I feel proud to have been associated with GE over the past couple of years!

So much to do over the next few days....so little time.

My next post will be from ISB.....

Singing off,

Pre-Term Courses.

We recieved information about all the pre-term course at ISB before our classes start....sadly i dont seem to have any kind of profeciency in any of these...business statistics, accounting etc....Looks like ill have have a tough ramp up period.

More about the ciurse and the profile of the class.The different types of people and the kind of incoming work experience is sometimes daunting....thankfully i felt the same way when i went to TAMU and i know things will sort themselves out on their own...no point fretting about it now.

Planning to leave for Hyderabad by the 11th of April from Chennai and will have a few days off in chennai before i leave.

Fingers crossed...getting really geared up for the upcoming course and year ahead.
