Well, its been some time since I have posted anything. So, I guess its time that I deliver a general update on life, the universe and everything (almost) that I am doing.
Well, the groves of academia have hereby hurled me out, ensuring that I get to face the real world again. And from the small and sleepy university campus of IIT Kharagpur, I am now at the western corner of India, in Mumbai, the city that almost lives up to its reputation for never sleeping
I have joined my work with YES Bank, and the hours ensure that its certainly a good excuse for not posting (although I shall not use it). But rather than talk about work, why not the city?
Mumbai is a unique place. Each of India’s metropolitan cities is different, but Mumbai revels in its uniqueness. Everything, from the city’s straight line like layout, to its odd working hours, its cobbled (almost) main roads where traffic rattles along day and night is unique. Mumbai is like a mad scientist on adrenalin, up to no good, but hiding behind a veil of equations.
Mind you, I rather like this mad city. Its very different from the sleepy Bangalore, and the early-bird Chennai. Even the sun sets later here than the rest of the country, with it being bright enough to play cricket at 7:15 pm.
Well, that is enough for the day. I will continue with more management gyan from my next post. Mumbai has given me at least 4-5 new posts on economics already up and running. But it will have to wait till I find the time to put them down on computer! Till then!
