Marriage...Carriage...Carnegie..!!

..the first two terms of the title are self-explanatory, however, the third element requires little explanation, and it has to do with why I haven't considered US B-schools in general and Carnegie Mellon in particular (I've been wait-listed at Tepper). Apart from typical reasons such as Time to be spent (2 yrs vs 1 yr), expenses in dollars, inclination to work in a growing market (India), relatively more experienced, close to home etc, there is one special reason why I want to do a 1-year MBA program vis-a-vis a 2 year program - Marriage!!

Now that all my friends have got married or almost getting married (ofcourse, including 'opposite-gender' friends), I've no incentive to defer mine by another year :) Hence, I permit my parents to search/fix for me a suitable bride in a year's time frame!! Jokes apart, it is an important phase in my life - this 1-year at ISB will serve as a rocketing launching pad and i won't mind missing the last term of the series in the title ever and the first two in this year..:)

P.S: I've not done as badly in economics mid-paper as I had feared..!!
