Jaimin's Journey!!!: June 2009
http://patiencepays.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. So all this while we have been taught that tradeoffs are necessary evil which you cannot escape. So what would you chose? Would you get paid to do something you dont like? Or work for free to enjoy work? Or just take everything in your stride and decide as and when it comes? Would you work with someone who gives you business cards or with someone who probably has more business possibilities? Would you work in a plush office in CBD? The soft learnings from NUS MBA, i guess! Waiting...

Jaimin's Journey!!!: May 2009

Sunday, May 24, 2009. This was the oft asked topic by prospective students. How is the internship scenario? Heck, the financial crisis has affected everyone and Singapore being open economy relying on trade and financial services is even more linked to health of global economy. So do you think we are different? Any case, the post is about my internship hunt and how I managed one! Well, on the outset let me tell you this is my own personal story and it has differed for each person here. However, I managed...

Jaimin's Journey!!!: December 2010
http://patiencepays.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 6, 2010. I turned Twenty Six this week! No excitement. More worries. Hairline receding. Career path moving forward. And this trip back home will be confrontation with parents. And I am trying innovative ways to push the discussion as backward as possible. I think I have best set of close friends! Last year Shreya was here in lah-land to celebrate my birthday! And this year it was Khyati! Nothing more to ask! Been more than 8 years since I went to Goa. That was the first time! The only ot...

Jaimin's Journey!!!: What MBA does NOT teach you?
http://patiencepays.blogspot.com/2010/09/what-mba-does-not-teach-you.html
Thursday, September 2, 2010. What MBA does NOT teach you? We have always heard stories about how employee has to deal with ethical dilemma. and MBA cannot, and will never be, able to teach you how to get out of such situations. I know I am not buying stock for simple reason I am not trading at all. but should I pitch a stock which pushes meat consumption whereas I believe in spreading vegetarianism? Rather, should I chase profits by selling my religion and soul? Do not believe in the lifestyle? The quest...

Jaimin's Journey!!!: April 2010
http://patiencepays.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 9, 2010. What goes around, comes around. An year ago, I did a mistake and probably, I acted selfish. And a faint chance that I misused the power I was entrusted with. Karma repaid me there and then by acting. and there, I sat haplessly. The good Karma washed away by bad one. I realized my folly and and apologized. A year goes, but Karma has not forgiven me. What I mistakenly did a year ago is ingrained my Karma for life. I defeated one force of nature, but this time it was another one.

Sunday, June 27, 2010. Why Singapore's Future is Secure? Yesterday, I witnessed this family travelling in MRT. a couple with about 3-4 years daughter and 10-12 months son. The father was feeding the son in his arms with a bottle of milk and his daughter sees this. The daughter says "Cannot drink in train". Her dad could only muster and say, "Baby can! Me, Apps and KC just could not stop laughing. (though as per KC's version the mother was not quite amused with the joke on her daughter). 2015 started with...

Then three days went in trying to impress a set of people who could be my future bosses! This was one such Saturday but I nothing really worth mentioning about! To se...

Sunday, October 17, 2010. Update and Random Musings. I dont want this blog to die - I started this one thing and have been regular (not lately though) but these days its just gone dormant.

This year I have b...
