Long & Short

Its 2 am and I am sitting in the library struggling to get my way around valuing the Calls and the Puts and if that wasn’t enough there is the death spiral call and the no regret put pending. I always doubted that these finance guys have something weirdly cool about them, I believe it now.

I don’t know why but it’s during times like these when I am tripping on a lethal combination of Chicane and Hillion, I feel like looking within, taking a deep breath and looking around. It’s been almost 4 months already and 40 % of my MBA done already. So what has changed? Am I gonna kick ass in the big bad corporate jungle? Am I gonna lead my people to glory? Will I rule the world someday? phawwwwwww. Dono about that but I think I will do just fine.

Having said that I recon I definitely have more arsenal in my bag when it comes to the mind-blowing human element which makes or breaks the universe. I am more sensitive to the world around; I am more equipped to identify stereotypes and people types without being too judgemental or making a monkey out of myself. I think I can even read minds , I almost feel like the oracle sometimes. I can anticipate actions and reactions. I know the difference between how a consultant, a banker, a marketer and an engineer would attack a problem or each other. I also know the difference between how French, a Brazilian, a Singaporean and an American would try to solve the very same problem without killing each other. It’s amazing how 4 months of living in and out of each other can teach you so freaking much. I look around and I just see awesomeness, there is so much to learn, so much to unlearn and I am doing that every single moment.

I have stopped seeking the answer to the super critical where am I going from here question now. I am sure where ever I end up it will be awesome. I am going to spend the next 6 months honestly bonding with all the super humans around and making this year an absolutely smashing year for me and those around.

Good Life = Long “Friends” + Long “Alcohol" + Long "Music"– (Short "Ego” +Short “inhibitions")
