One day and wiser for it.

'Human Life occurs only once, and the reason we cannot determine which of our decisions are good and which are bad is that in any given situation we can only make one decision, we are not granted a second, third or fourth life in which to compare various decisions' - Milan Kundera

This was an interesting quotation put up by our Decision Analysis prof, Francis. How do I know if I have made the right decision in coming to esmt. The answer is that I will never know, just as every choice that I make along my life. What if, I had chosen to give my job application to Citibank or to Infosys or to KPMG instead of Satyam, would I have been sitting here. Am I happier here, rather than at, say, Mckinsey? I do not know since that case would never again come. The issue is not the decision that is taken but the future that is in front of the decision. A decision is made on what the future holds but after that there should be no second thoughts. As Jack Welsh would say, you make great leaps to bring about Paradigm shifts. If you lose, you cut your losses and you move forward, not agonising over how things could have been if the decision had been different.

Back to the decision on ESMT, after being exposed to my colleages and to the professors here, I have no reasons to look back on the decision. I am glad that I made te choice based on all the information that I have and I know I will not regret this. Now, this will mark a closure to thedoubts if any that I may have, as evidenced in my first couple of blog postings. So, this is my life and I move forward.

Not a bad learning for first day in school.
