Internship- Ramblings

Hi all,

As time passes away, its hard to realise that I will be starting my internship after one year of MBA.
Well!! looking back my learning curve I still doubt whether am I ready for this job!!

All set, came to the US of A on a sunny day. As soon as the course started .. We had dozens of meetings and orientation programs!! Guess what was the first lesson taught to us ..

NETWORKING ( not a techie stuff)... I was taken away about how the importance was given for JOB and particularly the internship.. Infact we had Desi Seniors conducting a seperate meeting to brief on the difficulties about getting an internship in the US.

Being an International student, it was clear to me that its not gonna be a smooth ride for me...
But as usual the casual attitude creeped in me and started to give a no care about internship search!!! But made sure that I attended all the PUB parties ... had loads of fun..

well I have loads of assignments to do.. will post a detailed one how I went on to get an Internship at Coke...

B-2-B after a loong time...

Hi all,

Just came across this stupid blog.. after a long time and realised that its mine.. he he he!!

Well!! lot many things happened in this short period!! Too many things with mixed emotions...hope everything ends in a good note!!!

Any new comers (Including me :-) ) to this blog.. I would like to give a brief intro...

Me: Karthik, a typical South Indian who grew up in Coimbatore. As going by the crowd joined REC Trichy. Spent best days of my life there and again with no litlle guess joined the IT Bangdwagon to work for CTS in chennai.
Then B'lore was short of tallented Cut and Paste artists so, joined Accenture and spent my days, that I would call a turning point in my life. This is where I realised that life can have great twists at any point of time.
One fine day decided to do my MBA and that tooo in US. Gave GMAT, applied to some schools that I thought I have very little chance. Sometime!! God shows some mercy to little people like me.. Got an admit from Kelley School of Business. Took a huge loan and joined the elite MBA group.

So far its been a freaking ride here and finally landed with an Offer from The Coca-Cola Company and Washington Mutual Bank. This time I decided to do an unusual thing.. by not accepting the Coke offer. Yes!! I went the otherway to accept the WaMu offer.

Just few weeks left for my summer internship and I thought I can now start some freakin blogging daily to have fun!!!

Here you go!!! Back-2-Blogging (B-2-B) after a looong time!!!

Cheers!!
