Day 44: 3rd August, 2009

So how would you feel if you were expecting someone to fire a nuclear missile at you and all you get hit by are a few stones? A sigh of relief perhaps? But what if those seemingly harmless stones were enough to cause a few fractures? That is bad!

A similar thing happened today. I think our section got the simplest of balance sheet problems in the 25 year history at IIM L. And yet yours truly here managed to screw it up! :-S . As usual, ended up with an unbalanced sheet.

Actually the problem with mistakes is that they have this quality of causing a temporary addictiveness to error. Typically, while solving a problem, you often realise midway that something is wrong. You then try to retrace the problem from the start with the intention of finding out where/what went wrong. But this is where your mind plays tricks - you again have the exact same thought process and commit the exact same mistake!

Anyways, over and out with MANAC for now. Comm-1 (Communication) paper tomorrow. Need to have a heavy breakfast and lunch - loads of crap to be generated :-p .

PS: Took one round around the campus ring road at night. Saw foxes! (they looked a lot like dogs, but my friend at the pillion rider was pretty sure they were foxes :-p). So that's a new entrant to the list of wildlife animals! Yet to see the snake and porcupine though!
