My friends (- MissT) keep complaining about my frequent change in coordinates, and finally when I thought I am done for good its time to move again.
This time I shall be moving to Philadelphia, spending the next 4 years (hopefully not more) at Wharton working towards a PhD. That was the only place I had sent in an aplication and I was fortunate enough to get selected. A hurried trip to Philly convinced me that its a great department, very vibrant. The profs seemed like really nice people and the students are extremely smart. People who have been admitted with me have calls from all the top schools like Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, and Chicago. I hope all of them join, it would be a great group. I am in esteemed company :D
Its time to do some serious work now. After graduating in 2003, I have been mostly whiling away time. Work has been interesting but only in patches. I have worked with some really cool technology, contributed my bit but learning has been mostly off work rather than on it. The last few years have been good in eroding the naivety that was almost synonymous with my thinking while I left college. Now I understand the people and the world in a better light. I think I am a lot more mature and focused now and this is an appropriate time to go back to grad school and make the world a better place...
Wish me luck :D

Hi Vibhanshu,
Congrats! I hope you rise to great heights of achievement. I'll miss you in Bangalore.

Sups: You dont really miss people you meet twice in three years.
Will not wish you luck ...I don't think people who get into wharton get there with only luck....!
Will wish you new pastures, new sights and new adventure so that your soul can take all which is now on offer and new learning still retaining the roots.
Tk care & Bon Voyage ~
