Week Thirtyeight - Sleeping away the jet lag
Shouldnt it be jet lead? I travelled in the direction of earth's rotation... Anyways, thanks to the way my electives are structured, this week was light academically, just one MSI lecture. I slept away the jet lag/lead, it was good restoration for the tissues :)
Today we played a home match against Whitchurch - a match that was abandoned due to rains. We batted first and crossed 200 to get the maximum batting points, but rain came down in the last over of our innings, and by the time we were done with teas, the wicket had a puddle at either end. The two captains decided to call it off then. I didnt play today, just stood umpire.

Week Thirtyseven - International Business Experience
USA - the land of opportunity they say, where people from all corners of the globe come to realise their dreams. Certainly, a huge economy, and loads and loads of opportunities.
We started our week long visit in Washington DC with the World Bank Group, visiting the World Bank itself and the International Finance Corporation. We also did a short course at the McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University.
We then shifted to New York, where we visited Detica, who are an international business and technology consultancy. The next day, we visited Bear Stearns, one of the largest investment bank, securities trading and brokerage firms in the world. The next visit was to Bloomberg, the largest financial news and data company in the world. We then visited the Hearst Corporation, a media conglomerate that reaches out to the world with its monthly magazines and media interests. And finally, on the last official day, we visited American Express and Towers Perrin. American Express ofcourse is a globally known card and travel company, while Towers Perrin is, to put it simply, a world leading HR consultancy.
I personally got to learn a lot about business in the USA, and had interactions with some interesting people doing some very interesting work.
Apart from business, like I mentioned in my previous post, I also had another agenda, family and friends. I met my parents, sister and brother-in-law after a very long time, and my nephew for the first time. Also, my dear friend Amresh and his sister too. It was great meeting them, and fun too.
