Blink!!

Blink...thats what we al have to do when we face uncertainity.At least that what the book claims.The book is BLINK by Malcom Gladwell.Have been reading it for a few days, and he talks about thin slicing situations and people and how us humans tend to disregard our intutuins and tend to reply purely on rational judgement.

I guess, with the kind of exams that i have had today...thats what i will have to depend in tommorow`s exam.Its corp fin and its multiple choice..... The subject is stil very vague and seems like we need to develop some intiution for it still.

Thought for the day...trust your judgement...Blink!

Life and the law of averages......

Events in our lives sometimes cannot be explained away by logic or "Causal Reasoning" (Ref. Matrix reloaded).We all try hard enuf.....Dont get anything to show for it....Just when you think its all done and dusted....A windfal comes your way!The law averages really do work..... we just dont have the foresight to realize it.

My takeaway for day... Dont crib when things dont hapen for you, Someday you will get unexpected windfalls and you will actually claim responsibility for those fortunes!!!

We live in such a Stochastic World!!!

Dazed!!

I ask myself..what day is it? No answer...at least the date....no clue...but i still reme,ber its august!! Thats the current state of affairs.5 course running paralelly...god knows how many assignments...Overwhelming guilt of not doing enough with my time.....IS THERE ANY MORE SHIT THAT CAN BE THROWN ON TOP OF THIS PILE!! (I picked that out of "My cousin Vinny")

As the title suggests I have had that kind of a day.....more so bcos of the 2 pcycho movies i saw today... The aviator and Eye of the beholder. The former scared me a little...can I go mad like that too? About the latter...i really did not get the ending!

Anyways...this must the 1st posting i have written without talking abt ISB.On a personal note....renewing some old friendships at ISB ( and to think its only been 4 months since i got here) Whew time does fly past and at the same time stretch out like crazy!

Stay Dazed Y'all
