MBA and War on Mumbai

The world changed over the past few days. 

The Mumbai attacks have had a great impact on me and I am forced to think why it happened. While the answers may be straight forward, I am in no position to offer my views on it presently. My current workload requires me to concentrate fully on the task at hand, but following the attacks took lot of time. Presently I have my Organizational Behavior presentation scheduled for in the morning, I had my Operations Management exam on Monday.

I have observed that since the blasts, my energies are devoted in search of the above answers looking/searching for a solution. For all my course cases and exams, I have no energies to concentrate. Globally, terrorism has risen as a multi-headed hydra and I am looking for ways to counter the same in my personal capacity. It is a quest that I wish to take. The answers/success reasons may be apparent to some, but I strongly believe that terrorism can be quelled. 

I want to make my country very strong, economically, and that to certain extent will help in achieving strength. It is a very long ardous route, but history is a testimony that we received freedom from the colonial rule after more than 200 years. So, to put it subtly, winning the war should be like a one day cricket match, but if it is supposed to be a test match, then come on Mr. Terrorist, we will defeat you in that version of the game also.

On a second note, I am looking forward to my first London visit next weekend. If you are there in London over the next weekend and would like to meet me for a cup of coffee or so, send me an email. From London I am looking forward to my trip back home where I tend to spend a great time with family (I have lot of assignments to take care of then also)  before embarking on another journey of completing my MBA.
