2009-12-06 Update: Sadly, it appears this blog does not exist anymore! Another addition to the “Blogs I Enjoy” section: GDIFC This [somewhat] true to life blog was recommended to me by one my colleagues last March, which would appear to be around the time the site first got started. Since it’s an anonymous blog, you can gather some [...] Once again, I seem to have neglected my blog. I remember reading somewhere that the age of a blog is directly correlated to the frequency of posts in many cases.

I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ll say it again: the team I work with is [...] Since it’s the weekend, let’s take a quick break from the public speaking tips and get back to my random thoughts… A couple of weeks ago there were a few discussions in the Sri Lankan blogosphere about business ideas. Unfortunately, most of the good ones were not new, but might be good in Sri Lanka [...] What an amazing month. This morning I finalized the details and accepted an offer for my very first real ‘career’ job with a top tier consulting firm! My start date will be around mid-August after I come back from Europe. I thought the final interview on Friday went really badly, so I was [...] Tonight, some of the commerce games students from the JMSB were invited to a networking cocktail hosted by McKinsey consulting.
