The IIMB PGSEM application for 2008 had a SOP section which required 5 short essays to be written. Here are the ones I had written: Statement of Purpose How do you see the PGSEM helping you in your goals? (150 words) My taking up the PGSEM course has twin objectives, namely, self-development and learning all aspects of setting up, managing a commercial/social enterprise. Having worked in the software industry for five years, I have closely seen the software development life-cycle. However, there are several aspects of business and the economy that are of interest to me and I find the time ripe to explore these in a formal way, through academics; specifically strategic management of a firm, innovation strategies, and the scope of strategic consulting. Getting ready to usher in acceleration in growth opportunities in my care
In my mind is a strange attractor!
Picked up The fountainhead by Ayn Rand and The Hungry Tide last week. Reading the former currently. Find it interesting.

Isn't there a film on this? I remember seeing a film where the lawyer is defending a luekemia victim and he has not even taken the bar exam.

...it is "The Rainmaker" starring Matt Damon. It was a good movie. I can only say that the book must be better.

Ashok, you beat me to the new Ghosh novel - an excerpt I read was good, so overall it should be a treat. 350 bucks is a bit too ... maybe I am miserly. The Glass Palace was 200 bucks (inflation ???)
ReplyDeleteSandeep, The Rainmaker is as you say turning out to be good with lots of dry humour and most of his books have been filmed. I have watched The Chamber which is the other novel in this combo book that I am reading.
