Updates from ISB

Its been several days since I set foot on the campus of ISB. Its been good so far. However, I am still trying to work around my old shortcoming - getting lost in a crowd. Doesn't it happen to you? It is easy to talk to people one on one but when there are several around, it is just easier to stand back and stay mum?


The day passes uneventfully. The workload is light and is nothing compared to what is going to hit us from the next week onwards. I think they should have ramped it up from day 1 rather than do it slowly. These first impressions of a relaxing ISB are not going to last. 


The food is very rich and on an average, tasteless. It is going to be difficult to stay fit. Talking about fitness, I am really impressed to see the number of people who regularly hit the gym or are up and about playing sports. I wonder how many will continue with their healthy habits in the coming months. 


Networking has started with a bang. Every other day, you can witness groups of people huddled together in the Atrium (common space) hatching ideas and strategies (god how many times will I use this word) for the year to come. For someone like me who considers all of this quite distasteful, it is going to be a tough ride. 


I have taken up the mantle of the artist in the batch. My kurtas and 'jhola' help support that impression. I am enjoying cartooning again and I hope to make a lasting impression on the campus before I leave.
