Lately I have my hands full with things to do:
1) MBA application: I have shortlisted my schools (finally)
Wharton - course in finance + social innovation is high point of this school
Columbia - only 1 reason - Raymond Fisman, C. Fritz Foley
Tepper - Technical depth + laid back environment.
Cornell - Strong social innovation + Africa exchange program + live trading & sales room
ISB - The international edge in India + Africa exchange program + leading faculty
2) Financial markets
With so much happening, my thoughts are racing ahead and I hardly have time to note and reflect on current world events. But thanks to John Maudlin's reading, makes up for the loss
3) My idea on volunteerism
As I write my essays, I discover the power I have within me and I can't wait to set out to accomplish it. Want to enroll in an organization for children.
4) Did Tony Buzan's writing skills course
I was not very impressed by the course but the mind mapping training really helped. Its pretty much all in the books and implementing the techniques. Overall a powerful tool but adequate training provided.
5) Start my own portfolio
I want to manage my money now. Last year i remember staying out coz i was having a feeling that this is hyped, bubble in making. I don't attribute it to my 'market insight' but just the way the wall street was racing ahead. But now I believe we have reached the bottom; the damage is done and recession has begun. After 6 months will be good time to enter the market.
6) Reading
My obsession with bookshelf on facebook grows. There is a long list of books I want to read. Just wait till November when my MBA application will be over. I am going to unleash my voracious appetite ;).
7) Finding a social organization in Gujarat for my trip
8) Traveling plans?
9) Catch up on gym...
