So,
20th Feb saw me going to the IIMB campus in Bangalore. I should mention that the campus which i had always dreamed about attending right from my 2nd year at college more than lived upto my imagaination. Covered well by trees and made of exquisite stone, it looked as majestic as it looked old.
The GD went quite well. The topic was “did the media have a class dimension to it during the mumbai 26/11 attacks as they focused more on the Taj than they did on the common man’s CST? ” It was good overall with everyone getting a chance to speak but I felt the group went out of relevance a couple of times by talking about the mangalore pub incident when it was totally not needed.
The interview was pretty normal. No mechanical Engg. questions thankfully and pretty much focussed on my work ex which made it very easy for me. The best part of the interview that I liked was when the prof told me why I wanted an MBA now when all I had to do was to work for a couple of years more and my company would sponser me for HBS. I almost spilled the beans about H-bomb 
Met my friend A from IIMB. She said things were really grim wtih the placement scene right now and the IIMs are not insulated either. Here is wishing that she nets a great job. I am sure she will.
Meanwhile, have submitted my financial aid documents to HBS. so keeping fingers crossed for that. Plan for next week is to complete registering for finance and accounting courses and look through the HBS health services form that I am to complete.
