As I had promised, here's a photo blog about the Freedom trail. Due to its size, Boston is a very accessible city, but it may be that its reputation as a walking city relies on the creation of one of America's first historic walking tours, The Freedom Trail.Boston Common :The starting point of the Freedom Trail, Boston Common is the oldest park in the country. The park is almost 50 acres in size.

Christmas Day 2008, the Boston skies finally decided to give its citizens a break from the gloomy weather than prevailed over it for much of last week. A quick chat with Deepu ensured that the NY trip originally planned for today was thoughtfully postponed to New Year's eve and I decided to visit the Hare Krishna Temple in Boston instead.However Lord Krishna was in no hurry to meet me today (

My earliest memories of the Taj Mahal Hotel are as a 6 years old on his first visit to the iconic Gateway of India. It stood there - firm and resilent, right next to the Gateway, while we enjoyed the cool Arabian sea breeze along with the Bhel Puri, a mouth-watering Indian retreat. I remember passing through its grand Ballroom years later with some of my colleagues at Capgemini. It was being

If there's one word I can use to describe my journey with i2 so far... it would be 'explorative' both in terms of learning and traveling. From Bangkok to Bangalore to NY to Portland. This job is sure like putting wheels on my feet. Have seen so many new places in this one year, I'm afraid I may lose count if I don't (b)log them down.So, to begin with, was back from Thailand by end of June only to

My Thai Airways plane glides effortlessly through this nascent pre-sunrise Bangkok sky on its way to Suvarnabhumi Airport. From my window seat, the entire city horizon looks like the city has been chiseled and mapped to scale with absolute perfection. It is dotted with dozens of Parallel expressways twinkling with their still brightly lit street lights, each trying to proclaim its dominance

Hey folks! I'm back. After a real long time, scores of procrastinating sessions (mine) and complaining emails (by friends), I realized it was time I finally punched some thoughts onto my keyboard. A lot has transpired ever since my last blog post... I have reached an important milestone in my career with the completion of my MBA at SPJ, Singapore. The last days of the program were all

I had promised to come back with more pics of the latest buzz at S P J - The newly restored Heritage Building... and here I keep my promise as always! :-)I was always intrigued by the name "Hyderabad Road' ever since the day I landed here.Yes, that's the name of the road on which the S P Jain, campus is located in Singapore.Last month the new Leadership and Executive Education centre was

We reached the place early so we don't miss the beautiful sunset. However, the smog ensured that the sun disappeared behind it prematurely... thus ruining our chances... Yet we made the most out of it! :-)Perched on the top of the Swiss Stanford, the Equinox is an elegant palce and a recent hit with Top Class Singaporeans.I was lucky enough to find a cushy and comortable place near a glass pane

Day Tuesday, 6th March. Time - @ 11-11:15 AM.I was in my room watching 'Notting Hill' when I felt someone hit my bed and move it... I ignored... It happened again and then again until the point I couldn't ignore it anymore!! I knew something was wrong. That it is an unexpected, unpleasant and earthshaking earthquake became evident when HP (Hiral Patel for the uninitiated :-) ) came to my room...

On New Year's Eve this year all roads in Singapore seemed to lead to just one destination... the Siloso Beach on Sentosa Island. Picture this: - A spectacular display of lasers, moving lights and pyrotechnics, - Singapore's biggest beach dance party, - a giant dance floor under the stars, - a fantastic line-up of non-stop party music from Hip Hop, Retro, Trance and Chill Out music, -

Things have finally started getting hotter by the moment now. Classes have started full throttle and I have started feeling the heat despite the cool rainy Singapore weather. But I don't attribute all that to the deadlines or the packed schedules. Many other things have changed too.. A kinda new phase. Some people who were close have gone away and some who were far off have barged in. Some had to

I can't really believe that it has been exactly a month since I last updated my Blog! Time just flew by and I did manage to do a lot of things. Flew back home from Dubai for a very short 14 Day break, completed my SGP formalities, met up with some friends, did some pre-departure shopping et all... and finally landed in Singapore on 19th Nov.But hey!

Aha!! I’m done with the Exams finally. Feels Great! And with all the stress out of my head, I now have some time “Just for me”. It’s so different to have nothing to do at all. The last five months in Dubai have just whizzed past. Today as I soaked lazily in the hot water bath tub, I realized how much time comes at a premium in a 1-year MBA program.We did however make the most out of any free

It is now a little more than two months since I landed in Dubai (8 June 2006 to be precise). On one hand, it feels like ages for I am going through one of the busiest phases of my life and on the other hand it doesn’t seem to be anywhere even close to two months at all, thanks again to the rigors that ensure a steep learning curve. Time just seems to fly by at SPJCM (www.spjain.org)… I am already
