iPod Touch and Corporate Day...

It has been a long time since I posted something here. As you might understand, the work load has pretty much increased in the last weeks and assignments are a daily business now.

Yesterday, each participant of the HEC MBA Class of 2010 received an iPod Touch - courtesy Apple! As the Apple representative pointed out, Stanford is the only other business school that receives a similar gift from Apple.  With a built in wi-fi, accelerometer and a wonderful touch interface, the device is a useful and cool addition to my gadget collection.

Today we didn't have any classes. Instead there were recruitment presentations from various Company's on campus. HEC terms this as a Corporate day. I tried to attend the presentations from a diversified set of companies. Though it would be unfair to consider a single company as a representative sample of the industry it belongs too, yet I felt it would be a good exposure to start with. So, finally I attended presentations from Renault (Automotive), Soparind Bongrain (Food), Abbot (Pharma), Sun Microsystems (IT - Servers), Wipro (IT - End to End) & Amadeus (IT - Travel and Tourism).

The next big event coming up is HEC's International Finance Forum for Recruitment on 21st October 2008.

Tomorrow is another hectic day with classes from morning until late evening. Two groups are going to present their results of the Marketing case on Segway (Human Transporter) in front of the Segway representative in France.

Aside, I finally submitted my application for the Carte de Sejour (Residence Permit). I hope I am able to get my residence permit before Christmas else I'll have to spend the holidays in France ! Anyways, at least for now, we wait and watch.

Signing off/.
