the chase is tastier than the catch

i took my GMAT last year in july.. got a 760..

was totally eligible to apply for the first round of various colleges.. but just didn't! i had to travel a bit during that time.. so used that as an excuse for my 'diligence'.. :P apped to ISB in R2.. got waitlisted.. n then finally pushed out of the queue... :( apped to INSEAD post that in a hurry.. got rejected..

dejected.. decided to take this up a bit seriously this time..

apped to ISB in R1.. and am now a part of the ISB class of 2009!! but the euphoria lasted for precisely 5 seconds!!! for something i pursued for a year!! :|

i guess the chase IS tastier than the catch.. :)

it's been a LLLLOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGG while - original by STAIND, remixed by talli :)

its REAALLLLYYY been a while!!

was off blogging for a quite some time... actually.. was never really into it.. :P
but plannin to pick it up again... n pick it up well this time!
help maadi.. n wish me luck!

prioritization is a bitch...

it's been a while.... since i could....

hmmm... u know... random thoughts don't come all the time...
so obviously... you guys shouldn't be expecting very frequent posts on this blog.. :|

but whenever they come... especially the depressing ones...
they just f**k you up!!!!

ever wondered how we spend our lives prioritizing stuff we want to do... and end up doing what we really don't want to... or atleast shouldn't be doing!!

"every child is an artist....
....the problem is how to remain an artist when he grows up"
- Pablo Picasso

and you know what deviates us... prioritization...

you know you're a good painter... but...
"who makes a living being a painter???"
"are you sure you'll be better than the others??"
"set your priorities straight... get a real job..."

M.F.Hussain used to paint billboards... but he liked it...

think about it...

murphology.... so true!!!

i had this book at the back of my head for quite some time now... never consciously looked out for it though...

so a couple of days back i was just wandering around the infy campus with a friend and we wandered into the book store... and i spotted this book there and bought it...

COMPLETE MURPHY'S LAW - ALL THE REASONS WHY EVERYTHING GOES WRONG!

a must read i must say... seemed to me that i was reading my biography.. :| but i guess everybody would feel the same way...

MURPHOLOGY IS INEVITABLE!!!

it's the weirdest 'self-improvement' book i've ever read... not that i have read a lot of self-improvement books... :) actually... just one... '7 habits of highly effective people'... and am reading this one ofcourse... :)

by the end of it... you'll be a more patient person... :D

some 'so-true' laws i came across;

- finagle's 4th law: once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it only makes it worse.

- williams and holland's law: if enough data is collected, anything may be proven using statistical methods.

- le chatelier's principle: complex systems tend to oppose their own proper function.

i guess techie guys would appreciate these even more... :)
cheers!!!

sometimes i feel like screaming...

first thought... my muse for the day... :D:D

hmmmm......

i'm quite new to blogging. have just created TalliScape last week. i was collecting reviews on my blog from some close friends, and everybody thought it was quite cool, but one of them said, "it lacks substance...". well... it was not supposed to have any substance!!! it's more like a journal...

but then i thought, maybe i should have a blog where i can pen down my thoughts. i don't maintain a diary... find it quite boring... :| but always wanted to keep a record of my 'randomosity'... :) so here goes!!!
