What they dont serve you at the XL Business School?

My First Blog:

For Starters:
I am Sathish Muthuswamy, An Engineering Doom (from a college in chennai we fondly call the IIT Surupet - No not the one where they actually teach engineering, this is a different ), I am now at a XLRI Jamshedpur (doing a program, called the GMP - a funny name for what is actually a good program)-After many many years of persisent effort, XL finally thought, I having, so many years of experience in writing XAT, have the relevant experience needed for the progam and admitted me to thier college, (Shucks, I should have tried the same trick with IIM's too)..


Hobbies:
I am a very Passionate player of Sony Playstation 2, and I spend so much time on the PS 2 daily, that I have come to believe that If PS2 were a girl I would have married it and would have lived happily everafter. but since its not, I am still Unmarried.

Otherwise I read a lot of books (and would have read about 2000 of those 'Crichton' style Novels), I love Sporting hero's (basically I like watching very fast action sports and love the players for thier hard work and spirit, but personally I dont really PLAY any sport where you might have move more than 2 feet from where you are standing).

BELIEFS:
I am a Hindu by birth , and I believe AYN RAND, ROGER FEDERER, LANCE ARMSTRONG, EINSTIEN, PHILIP KOTLER, AR RAHMAN, MICHAEL PHLEPS ( and a few others) are reincarnations of GOD.

WACKIEST THINGS:
Like most others, I have done some wacky things in life, a few things that come to my mind are, I once shot a teacher in class (you know the one where you mock, with your fingers like pistols), and I got caught by another prof who saw me from the window. He literally harrassed me ( suprising considering that the prof whom I shot, didnt die) and called my parents to meet the Chairman of the college, and That Dumbo of a chairman made me actually sign a letter saying that "Never again will I shoot anyone in the class" and a through disciplinary action would be taken if at all I was caught again shooting someone else. - GOD what and all people get caught for..

I have had my share of Blushes and Crushes, but nothing worked out, So I am still trying my luck..

Among other things, I have about nearly 6 Years of workex now. I joined Marketing because of my passion for that,Trust me I was really a very very very programmer,( I vividly remember correcting my college teacher on quite a few occasions where she made mistakes on advanced c++ programming. To my credit I even scored a centum in microprocessor programming in college), Still I chose marketing since I thought I could be someone there ( curse me and my Piscian Instincts for that). Before Joing XL, I managed to lead the marketing team nationally for my company,which was in elearning and Knowlege Management.( more of that crap later).

I guess this is enough for one blog. let me login later with my experience at XL.

PS: Why is this called " Sick of Aloo " blog, because I am sick of aloo and at the XL mess, they serve ( and only serve) Aloo in anything, from breakfast, lunch, evening snack to dinner.
