Thats Tuck School.. I had seen the picture of this structure so many times..Just that when I actually stood there..things felt different..and great!!

Day 2 at Tuck was hectic..I loved the classes on Analysis for General Managers and Leading teams! The case study method is brilliant in extracting the spirit of intellectual inquiry from students..The classes seem like an Opera performance...The case is left open for discussion and the professor "cold calls" students to bring out the relevant details and the gist of the case.. The entire conversation and discussion is carried out by the students with the prof managing the stage! It is so exciting to hear the numerous perspectives on one single thing in class.. I feel that the "learning process" will be critical to skill building in these two years.. Its heavily geared around forcing you to think and make decisions like a business leader...Things are super hectic! But I feel that the journey is going to be very rewarding!!

The Tuck Tails - week 2

This may be the most abrupt first post for a blog, but I just could not resist the temptation of documenting my first pangs of nervousness in a business school. This is week two for Tuck Class of 2011 and the beginning of a journey consisting of academic pursuits, skill building, career search and a numerous other things to seek which people like myself left well cushioned jobs during these tough times and decided to spend time in woods. 1st week was exciting and felt like a roller coaster ride and the second week promises more in terms of rigor. This is sunday night and I am trying to finish reading stuff to be discussed in the class on Tuesday. Business school is a fun place for sure!

Coming back to not being as abrupt! I started this blog to document my experiences at the Tuck School of Business. I belong to the class of 2011 and started with the program just a week back (though it feels like months have already passed!) More to follow on my Tuck experience and I pray that i remain as punctual with blogging as I really want to be :)
