CNBC Interview
CNBC TV18, came on campus today to speak to a few students.
Since we have not formed a formal commitee yet, to look over these things. The information that CNBC was looking for a couple of entreprenuers and/or guys who have "dinged" US b-schools for ISB, was sort of circulating on campus.
Vaguely qualifying both the requirements, I recieved 5-6 calls at extremlely awkward moments, extolling me to go and speak to them in a picture perfect location in the LRC.
Panting and Sweating, I just managed to make it in time for the media guy to tell me that you look quite dishevelled so ... sort of just put your hair in place, to that effect somebody added that "they wanted to have a casual conversation with students in the midst of their class schedules", so we could carry on, Reality TV - i guess.
It was fun actually, he asked me a couple of questions which were quite straightforward, a relief from the kind of stuff we are asked at various group meetings and definitely better that the kinds of questions students would have to answer at the "Soap Box" today, but that at another time.
The questions were, which schools did you get into and why did you choose to come to ISB, hmmmmmmmm.... with a heavy heart i answered the usual yada yada, which i knew by rote after all the essay writing and interview prep these b-school applications make you go through.
Armed with the Media Dude's card and with imminent information regarding the time I would come on TV, I strode into "Khemka" for a session with CAS.......Considering that I am still in Khemka, I need not elaborate on the CAS session ;-)
btw: the real gossip about b-school life would be acquired today after the "Soap Box" presentations, so until i put up that......
