An about me post. May 9, 2007

I strongly dislike ‘About Me’ pages, because they force me to introspect. I do not like introspection.
However, there comes a time and place in every authors life when they need to describe their motivations, inspirations and aspirations. For me, that time has come and gone. I’m going to avoid repeating myself here, but indeed, a brief introduction is in order.
Engineer by day, heavy sleeper by night. Runner, sports junkie, reader of obscure tomes, and a newly-minted husband. Dog lover, vegetarian, politically disillusioned and hopelessly cynical. Budding sailor, golfer and astronaut. Currently designing enterprise server software in Silicon Valley, and about 4 months shy of quitting to join business school for an MBA.
Several people have asked me why I wish to go back to school. While I apparently did a good enough job of convincing the admissions committee about my motivations, explaining them to friends and family is much harder. Over the course of writing this blog, I hope to touch on those reasons. And more. Much more.
All this for you, dear anonymous reader. Now don’t you think you owe me something in return?
Was in DK batch of 97…. first heard of you through Vidyamandir I guess… then again on Orkut…. was toying a bit with VMWare stuff, so struck a note somewhere….
Nice writings… and best of luck for the MBA!
Hi Abheek,

You do write very nicely ,
Keep updating your blog ..
especially liked the poem you posted by Paash ..
Hey Abheek,
Found your blog through Linkedin. As a soon-to-be supplicant to Stanford GSB I’m puzzled by “I do not like introspection.”. You must have had a hell of an essay consultant ;-)
@SR: welcome to the GSB. I’m sure you’ll have the time of your life over the next two years.
As for the essay consultants: i had my wife on retainer for that, and yep, she’s one hell of an essay consultant =)
Thanks for the clarification Abheek ;-)
Actually i’m not yet in at GSB (damn this poor grasp of english….thats why I need a consultant). I’m just a lowly applicant for Fall’09 but willing to be a supplicant if that gets me in.
