TOO LENGTHY A BREAK!
The title of this blog post isn't meant to be an apology for another hiatus from blogging! Rather, it is a call for celebrations at the culmination of a successful summer placement season at IIM-Bangalore. Thanks to the efforts of everyone, primarily PlaceCom, the process got completed in 4.5 days flat, which implies a long break of 5 days, with nothing to do (though there might be desperate souls still willing to reach out to the Kotler and Brealey-Myers books, but I hope they would be very few, and can be discounted)!
For me, the highlight of the placement season was the co-operation of the batch in getting everyone placed. Given the tight schedule, it may be inevitable. Yet, it is heartening to note that, for all the hype about 'competition' and 'RGgiri' at B-schools, the placement season offers the perfect riposte to such nonsense. Hope the same continues!
I will be spending my summers at Standard Chartered, Wholesale Banking division. More details awaited!
And, I am hoping to use this lengthy break to catch up on (a lot of) sleep, read up some new books, drive a bike, try my hand at the guitar, explore Bengaluru in greater detail. A road trip to Mysore and Shivanasamudra falls is already done, and more details about that later. To those who haven't been there, I recommend visits to Mysore and Shivanasamudra, if you happen to live/work/intern/roam in Bengaluru!
