The end game - death came.


L to R - Me, Granny and Mitul da

The end game - death came.
Took away another name!
Thoughts, memories stay,
The bustle of life eventually replaces the initial dismay!

Time stops, in a trance
Leaping flames eat up the discarded body
As if cleansing or purifying the putrefying
A balm of relief against painful suffering.

Anything that starts, has an end
The road from childhood to a second childhood had many bends!
Now, when the cold numbness meets the searing fire, 
A serene calm greets the burning pyre.

IIMB PGSEM SOP Essays.

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.

Getting ready to usher in acceleration in growth opportunities in my care...
