what really mattered...

As the day winks to take it's 8 hour break; my 2 years of MBA at India's premier b-school comes to an end.
When the farewell ended i had almost accomplished what i had set out for in an MBA; well even danced and acted in a skit (god save the audience) but recounting it now after sending off all my close-pals to their homes makes me want to do a laundry list of things i would miss of my MBA (Why 12 ?? cause of this)

1) Foremost are the 164 junta of 07-09 ( or maybe 2 years is quite a long time to develop stockholm syndrome)
2) Early morning Jogs and swimming laps.
3) Free copies of Eco-times and Harvard Business Reviews
4) 1 TB of movies (LAN & P2P - the combo pack)
5) The lake , 10 min walk from hostel to college (almost everything about Bhavan's campus)
6) BISTRO
7) The free cultural movies & shows (courtesy Bhavan's cultural center)
8) The 12'0 clock idli & coffee cycle canter.
9) Endless gossip nights (filled with booze and all the discussions that arrive when you are in the inebriated stage)
10) Library
11) IP messenger
12) week-end treks

oh yes... case-studies, assignments, subjects do not matter much after MBA.
If there is one great thing that makes an MBA worthwhile then my vote would be for "linkedin" a.k.a networking.
