Conversation with future Spouse – Part 3/28 – Appearances / Looks

Always ageing is a factor which appears on the skin leaving a strong traces of love and affection which one possessed during the span. So, this is more important. Are there cosmetic procedures that you regularly undergo? Do you feel that you can have good chemistry with someone who is moderately physically attractive to you, or is a strong physical attraction necessary? Do you have strong preferences about being with a particular physical type? Do you worry about getting old? Do you worry about losing your looks? Has physical appearance or chemistry ever been a factor in the breakup of a relationship? How important is it that you always look your best? How important is your spouse's appearance? How much money do you spend on clothing every year? Is weight control important to you? Is your spouse's weight important to you? What do you like and dislike about your appearance? What would your reaction be if your partner were to gain a significant amount of...

Successful Journey for 760 in GMAT

Image
With the series of my thoughts in my previous series of Seasoning MBA Applications, I was stressing everyone to attempt for the GMAT instead of GRE if they are serious about the MBA. Some of the people turned back that question towards me if I had attempted for GMAT. Well, a good move. I took their question as an important brainstorming one. I wanted to give an attempt, in the meantime, I had no company to discuss it, as my close friend and competitor in this MBA goal has drifted away for some reason. Made my mind to move on! Alike my GRE wanted to give a short turnaround time for my GMAT but a better preparation. Attempting for GMAT is not a simple task, I agree to that. I got the test slot in the United Kingdom for various undisclosed reasons. I exactly had 15 calendar days between the exam and date of registration. Was puzzled about the strategy which I need to follow, the practice mechanisms and my travel planning from India to LHR. Directed my office to make the reservations to LH...

Conversation with future Spouse - Part 1/28 - Work Life

The Art of Conversation with your upcoming spouse is one of the most highly regarded topics. Sometimes people like me are frightened to speak out to the upcoming partner. As well as you shouldn't bore them too, here I thought of throwing the questions which one can use to find the opportunity to develop the conversation. WORK LIFE Are you working in your chosen field? Do you consider your work a career or just a job? Has your work ever been a factor in the breakup of a relationship? Have you ever been called a workaholic? Have you ever been fired? Have you ever quit a job suddenly? Have you changed jobs a lot? How many hours a week do you work? What does your job entail? (For example, do you often travel for business, work at home, performs dangerous tasks?) What is your dream job? What is your retirement plan? What do you plan to do when you stop working?

Seasoning MBA Application @ US – Part 4 – Employability and Finance Post MBA

Image
MBA is a life changing option, I learnt in the due course of time. Yes, entering into the part 4, the last part of my Admissions Race. I have now got admitted into a top B-School though I am not sure if I will accept that offer. It is a very big investment for a normal person from Asia or other developing countries where the average salary is less than 2000 USD per month. Good Schools will get you good offers, average schools get you average offers. Reading back to the Season 1, you need to choose the group where you will be able to suit up. If your primary goal is all about getting an offer letter from a top company like Deloitte or BCG or others then the move should be very cautious. Yes, getting placed is more important because your mindset is too poor to get only an offer letter after MBA. If you consider taking up a risk of being an entrepreneur I would have rather appreciated your move and there is a value for your MBA and the alumni base. Most of the MBA Grads will get at least ...

My Part 2 of Seasoning MBA Applications begun with BIG THANKS and now my Part 3 of Seasoning MBA Applications beings with an Extra Large THANKS and apologies for the delay. This is a 4 part experience based information guide. The following are the 4 parts: Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 1 – Basics Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 2 – What they need? Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 3 – How they evaluate? Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 4 – Employability and Finance Post MBA I will describe the reason for the delay in the later part of my post. Evaluation is the most critical part of one's MBA application and one's judgment. You read it right, Individual Applicant's Application and Judgement of the Admissions Office(r) . I tried to attempt a DDoS ( :P ) in each and every location where I applied for or my bro applied for. Most of the schools use the rubric as the key methodology. A stern analysis was done when the admissions officer gave her decision over th...

My first BIG THANKS for all the readers of my previous post and their emails. Your encouragement and support has made be to write the continuation post in this very short turn around time. This is a 4 part experience based information guide. The following are the 4 parts: Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 1 – Basics Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 2 – What they need? Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 3 – How they evaluate? Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 4 – Employability and Finance Post MBA The level of difficulty of getting admitted is highly equal to that of the level of difficulty for a B-School to Accept or Reject your candidature. The Admissions Committee is equally responsible if they select a bad candidate for their program or reject a super-fine candidate. You could have noticed that there are loads of female administrators in the Admissions Committee of top B-Schools. [Note : Not performing any gender discrimination]. The ultimate reason for posting them into thi...

Gift Kit for eVisa Tourists to India

Image
The worst faced problem by any Foreigner visiting to India is the Communication. Getting a SIM card and the tedious activation process by the TRAI pulls back their interest in getting one. This is an interesting development, and probably a first for any country across the globe. Ministry of Tourism has planned this new initiative, that will help new tourists in India. Tourists landing in India on e-tourist visa would soon be getting a “gift kit” from Tourism Ministry which would consist of SIM card, among other things. “This will be gift from Tourism Ministry…it will be handed over to the tourists arriving in India on e-tourist visa,” a Tourism Ministry source said. The “gift” would consist of a SIM card which the tourists can use for making calls after they have recharged it. Besides, it would also consist of maps, booklets and CD with information about various tourists destinations, guidelines relating to dos and don’ts, details regarding whom to contact i...

Beer – Men’s Anti-Stress Medicine

Image
Smoking Causes Cancer and Drinking is injurious to Regular Health and Sexual Life I am back after almost a month's time. There is no harm in the disclaimer statement above, because it has been clinically proved. I could smell people crazily guessing about my absence and this blog post. To clarify intensively, I am not a drunkard . There was a very interesting discussion about drinking beer between me and one of my socially drinking best friend. He was giving various satisfying points why one should drink. Though I wanted to share them in this post, before that I wanted to share something which was very interesting and the area which I made the research for more than 45 days to get an absolute clarity. From all, he was very strong that he should drink beer before having food or while having food but never after food. He was partially right in his statement. Yes, beer or any alcoholic drink during food is good. But before food, it is highly harmful. After the analysis and references ...

Hong Kong - The round clock city to Enjoy

After almost a month, I am back to write at these blogs.  Hong Kong  comes alive at night, abuzz with diners, revelers, theater goers and even market traders still out plying their wares.

The nightlife options are too numerous to mention, but below you’ll find just a sample of what’s on offer: from cultural performances through to late-night party venues and midnight feasts. You can also spend a whole night in Wan Chai with our guide to one of the city’s most renowned night owl destinations. So you’re after a good time? You’ve definitely come to the right city! Hong Kong boasts entertainment galore and most of it kicks off after sunset.
