BoB nomination again!

A special shoutout to the BoB team for shortlisting me one more time this year. I've been honored with the BoB award two years in a row, and I'm extremely thrilled to be nominated again. I am not very sure about making it to the final list, I have been extremely irregular and blogged very little these days - thanks to a business school that keeps us busy till the very end (and our end is not too far). Also, there is a lot of very active and very good bloggers in that list with me. But i'm happy to even make it to this list.

I have a promise to fulfil - the @Booth series of posts. I'm gonna make that happen in the next few weeks for sure! I dunno how, but i realize I just have to find time. I also have a lot of things to write about - like my amazing Spring Break trip to Africa with a bunch of Boothies. Hopefully I'll find more time to share that experience with you!

Hope everything is fine with everyone, and all of you are living a happy life in your respective quarter of the tiny little world. Hope to speak more to you all in the days to come...

BoB 2007-2008 Nomination

I have been nominated, once again, for ClearAdmit BoB. This time, it is under the student bloggers list. Thank you ClearAdmit; I very much appreciate the recognition. And congratulations to all the other nominees.

I believe this is a great time to ruminate on the past 12 months, as far as the blogging goes. I should admit, i intended to blog a LOT more than i did. There are many Chicago GSB experiences i wish i could have spent more time and words on, but it did not happen so. I clearly underestimated the time commitments of a Bschool life. Having said that, i should also admit that given the crazy schedule of a GSB life, i am surprised myself i blogged as much as I did. I'm just doing SO many things at school, and I hope i gave a peek into my life in the Windy City.

As promises go, I am trying to get my life back in order. I believe i am almost there, and once done i should waste lesser time on thinking about myself and more on things i love to do - blogging included. There is definitely more to GSB-life, and I hope to bring more to you guys in the months to come.

Best of Blogging 07-08

The annual BoB is around the corner. Check out ClearAdmit's post on this here.
There's a good bunch of nice B-school bloggers around. I'm curious to see who makes the first cut and then the final cut. April's gonna be exciting this way ;)

BoB results

The BoB 2006-2007 results are out.

Rungee topped the applicant bloggers list and Angel Angie topped the student bloggers list. They both get beautiful 30GB Video iPods. Many congratulations to both of them :)

Well, I stand second in the applicant bloggers list.

Special congratulations to Juggler, Divine Miss N and From Cali for their standings in their respective lists (and the BW/Economist subscription) and all the others who made it to the list in both the sections.

The entire list is available here.

Thanks to ClearAdmit, everyone who voted for me and the many others who've supported me all through the MBA application season.

My vote is in...

I just sent a mail to ClearAdmit with my votes for the BoB 2007. The deadline, to submit the votes, is on Friday and the results will be out on next Tuesday, 24th of April.

Needless to say, I just cant wait to see the results :)
All the best to all the BoB nominees in both applicant and student categories!!!

The BoB vote ballot

As a nominated Blogger, i was asked to fill the BoB 2007 ballot by the ClearAdmit team. The mail with the ballot reached me on 6th April and i have been trying to fill it ever since.

The list of nominees is long - 25 applicant bloggers and 25 student bloggers. As one would expect, i have been following most of the applicant blogs. So making my votes here was kind of easy. I still had to make some hard decisions in certain categories - especially the 3 nominations for the best blogs. Finding the "Best Single post by an applicant" was another difficult vote. But i have finished it.

I haven't been reading too many student blogs. I have definitely read a few posts from all nominees, but I certainly haven't been reading all the posts of all the nominated students blogs. Since i dont wanna make a so-so job with this, i am trying to read all these blogs completely before i decide my votes. This is taking a loooooong time and i have only finished 10 of the 25 student blogs.

I hope i can finish this soon.

Nominated for the ClearAdmit - Best of Blogging award!

As they mentioned in their earlier post, ClearAdmit came out with the list of applicant and student bloggers who are in the race for the coveted Best of Blogging titles, in the respective categories, for the 2006-2007 application season.

It is a great feeling to find my blog listed under the applicants category, among all the other really good bloggers.

Juggler just made a post about the role Clearadmit played during the times we were working on our applications and i definitely second her words. They do a great job of recognizing the bloggers thru their weekly Fridays from the frontline posts and this is another wonderful thing they do. It is really like a pat on the back and encourages the bloggers to contribute with whatever they can!!!

All the best to all the nominees. I'm eagerly looking forward to the decision date.
