Parties Galore!!

Category: By Stuart
The best thing about the St. Gallen MBA is the fact that u get to have sooooooooooooo many parties and aperos... so many events to socialise..and drink!! hee hee ;) soon i'm gonna have wine flowing through my veins... red wine for sure!!
Block II, like block one was packed with events... to quote a significant few...we had the rocking Halloween Party with a wonderful gig (guitar + vocals) .. then we had the amazing diwali bash (indian fest) i wrote earlier about .. then u add a few birthday parties and nearly a dozen aperos...
To end it we had the great traditional HSG MBA end semester event!! mooooooooooooore wine ... mooooooooooore food! moooooooooooore fun!!! all courtesy the mba office!!!
"Wolfgang for President!!!" .. i'm starting to like these guys... ;)
in short ...that's a lot of wine.. oops! a lot of fun ...in a block of just 5 weeks.. lol .. and the next blocks are not gonna be any different ..
going forward we have a big birthday bash tomorrow ... and then on saturday we have another great party once again by the MBA office ("chorus : Wolfgang !! Wolfgang!!! President!! President!!") :D
... this time at Simon's place (remember Simon? my Econ professor! http://mba-hsg.blogspot.com/2007/11/simon-nomics.html) ... So saturday evening we're going to Simon's place and.... we'll start with coffee and cake ....and then later in the evening order beer and pizzas for the gang!! how cool is that!!!
Have u ever heard of an MBA prgrammes where you could do that??? I haven't for sure!! HSG is amazing!!!
The beauty of this programme is that we'r a small batch and we hang out together.. and it is infectious.. :) even the profs and the admin is so much into this.. it is one large hell of a family :)
Later on saturday, a friend of ours is performing in a play.. we're all going to cheer him up...
the week is so filled up.. block III has started on a good note
and as we get closer to christmas.. it is gonna get even more festive....
I would miss so much once i'm outta here!!

The Indian Connection

Category: , , By Stuart

Last evening the MBA building was transformed by fascinating candles and lamps. Yesterday was the Indian festival of lights called Diwali and our Indian friends organized a rocking evening for all of us..


Diwali apparently, one of the most popular of all Indian festivals, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diwali) is celebrated by lighting up candles or lamps , prayers to gods and a lot of fireworks.. My Indian friends told me that traditionally poker is an integral part of the celebrations too!

All of our Indian friends cooked amazing meals .. spicy curry.. delicious deserts! .. we all had a great taste of the traditional Indian cuisine..
Our indian friends were dressed in traditional attires with guys wearing a long collared shirt with lots of embroidery… which was called kurta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurta) and girls wearing sarees…

The girls colored rice grains and used them to decorate the entire room.. it was very interesting.. how colour, candles and grains of rice can transform a swiss bar into a traditional indian festive room!!




To top it all there were some rocking dances on bollywood and indian folk music .. which were high energy foot stomping numbers…


We all had amazing fun.. !!! What makes a truly international MBA like St. Gallen is that u meet people with so diverse cultures and in one year you get to experience a part of their culture, traditions , beliefs...and especially since ours is a small batch the personal interaction and bonding gets enhanced with each of these festivals make it is a very rewarding experience..


Happy Diwali!!

Can't Wait for the next party !!!!

Cheers!
