Lighten the stress!!

Scene: At ISB
Context: Placement season

Gal1: my husband found a job yesterday. Am so relieved!
Gal2: Cool congrats. Happy for you guys! My husband is not placed yet, it is quite stressful for us. Where are you guys moving to?

Gal1: Calcutta
Gal2: oh no!

Gal1: why? Calcutta is not so bad?!
Gal2: OMG! I hate Calcutta.

Gal1: why?
Gal2: because my in-laws live there….. that would be more stressful. Stress of not finding a job is manageable! You made my day!

Rest of the gals: ha ha ha
One guy in the scene: a face that says “don’t know where to look and how to react”

Travel-planalogue

Well, there is an upcoming travel plan. If everything goes as per plan,(well, we all have been taught to show reverence to nature when talking about the future :D) we will be one of the living witnesses amongst the ruins of Hampi. Yay!


ISB in all its glory of being the 12th best B-school in the world did its bit in being a great environment for the spouses on campus. May be if the ranking framework factored that in, ISB could be a whooping first- who knows?! Anyways, almost all our outings in Hyderabad have been with a bunch of friends. My two year old niece can count only till 2 and she can count how many times, my hubby and I have been out by ourselves :D The other times, our romance (?) has been graciously checked by our fond friends who love to hangout with us ;)

So Hampi is another such tour coming up! Apparently it is so ruined, that it can engage us for 4 days, but we would have to pick and choose the most ruinous parts to finish the scene in 2 days and 1 night. Wanna know another highlight of the trip? We are gonna have to walk a lot! Of course I am excited for A, his only overworked muscles are on the fingers thanks to keyboard and now he might just have to work other muscles too.

Can’t wait!

p.s. All our friends who love to hangout with us – we love you!
