“We know what we are, but know not what we may be.”
-William Shakespeare. Hamlet, Act IV, Sc. V
About Me
I am a software developer, freelancer and an artist. I develop trading applications fulltime at Wall St. I also freelance tennis articles and do Internet Media consultations occassionally. I will start my MBA journey starting Fall 2010 where I intend to explore Digital Media, High Tech Startups, Venture Capital, Strategy Consulting and resist the ‘charms’ of Investment Banking.
I started writing tennis articles solely because of the love for Mr. Roger Federer’s game. My other passions include poetry and paintings – I like to exercise my pen and paintbrush sometimes when I feel inspired. These works can be found in my ‘art blog‘ which is dedicated to paintings – oil, watercolor and anything and everything pictorial. My love for poetry is attributed to the profound works of Ghalib. My ‘moonstruck blog‘ focuses mostly on urdu and hindi poetries. My writings can be found under pseudonym ‘eternity‘. I am addicted to works of Ayn Rand, Orwell, Shakespeare and Wodehouse.
I am based in Jersey/New York area and like to stare at the downtown Manhattan skyline often. The header image on my blog is my tribute to the most mesmerizing line of concrete blocks in the world. My home and heart, of course, lies in India.
About This Blog
On this page, I play the part of a raconteur trying to put whats happening around in perspective. Here, I discuss practical issues.
The new focus of this blog is on transcribing my experiences of applying for MBA, living down the Business School and aftermath of it all. I occasionally discuss issues relevant to India – politics, social dogma, education etc. Rest, depending on my mood. I keep fairly broad interests in technology and plan to start my venture some day. Feel free to drop me a message if you are applying to Business School.
A little word of encouragement for applicants: Know yourself and don’t fall into the imbroglio of Admissions Consultants – there’s nothing called expert when it comes to MBA applications. Do not try short cuts and thou shall be rewarded.
Finally, I write for fun and I hope you have fun reading it.
-Nistha Tripathi
