Return to Mumbai

The doctor is willing to give the green signal for my return to office (Conditional to one more visit). Planning to start working from March 15, 2010.

My name is Karan and all I can think of is banal cliches

I happened to watch the movie, My Name is Khan, today. As expected, it happens to be a typical Karan Johar production with the film almost exclusively shot outside India for audiences outside India. Moreover, the film is filled with cliches/misconceptions about how the law enforcement agencies in USA act. Karan Johar seems to think that they are filled with really dumb people. I might be amendable to the movie if the movie is about personnel who discriminate based on race. However, USA comes across as a society of supreme racists wherein people cannot attend to their business without being harassed.

Great Bong has compared it with Slumdog Millionairizing the USA. I really think this is much more than that.

Cervical Spondylitis

Been away from office for the past 2 months due to cervical spondylitis. Hoping to get significantly better in the next couple of weeks and return to work.

FIFA 10

Going to get FIFA 10 for my XBOX this weekend. yipee!!!

Oh Shit, Not Again!

"Oh Shit, Not Again" is definitely the worst book ever to hit Indian bookstores. Filled to the brim and overflowing with banality, this book by Mandar Kokate is a supposed "National Best Seller". It makes you wonder, what is a national best seller.

I would not recommend this even for torture as it might result in death due to agony. Freaking 3 hours of my life wasted on this absurdity.

CFA L3 done

Passed L3.

My pledge: I swear never ever to appear in a competitive exam while working.

Anticipating CFA results

CFA results are going to be declared by the 17. Real tense at my end. It is going to determine whether the 3 months of slogging were of any use or not.

Other than that, had to work on both days of the weekend. Really tough to appreciate independence day in such circumstances.
