I’m back!!! (Okay, I admit I’ve been back for almost a month now, so there’s really no need to put my famous exclamation marks, but hey, I love these exclamation marks, and this is my blog, so I’m just gonna keep them :D ) People have been telling me to write about the exam, the trip, the food, the weather and what not! The big problem is, I have no clue where to start. Every time someone asks me how the trip was, I just have one word to say... "Awesome!", accompanied by my customary grin. In fact, that word does a pretty good job of describing the whole trip.
So it all started when I decided that I should finally give GMAT. I mean, I went to Dilip Oak’s when I was in college, I’ve been giving plenty of gyaan to anyone who’d lend his/her ear about MBA, and I keep “researching” schools all the time… so, I had to do something. Anyway, so I took a date, 27th September 2008 at Ahmedabad. And since I was going to give an exam, for which I was supposed to study hard (like that was gonna happen), I decided to take a long vacation after the exam. So I applied for 8 days of leave (which translated into 13 days of vacation) and convinced my best friend to join me for an awesome trip that I would plan.
The next big decision was to choose the place where we’d spend our long vacation. The first choice was Ladakh, but it was ruled out because it was off-season time. Some more names were on the table, but we finally decided on Rajasthan. I wanted to visit the place for a long time… it was the perfect time, not too hot, not too cold, and there was plenty of time to visit all the major attractions. So the place was done, and I got down to planning the entire trip, from getting accommodation to nailing down the itinerary.
As it turned out, the trip was awesome. The pictures are up on Orkut and Picassa. Check them out! Next post, on tackling GMAT :)
