Ma life at ESADE....
Those first few days of Student Exchange I am so elated about this whole prospect of studying for my one term of MBA in a foreign university that it has taken me around a week's time to do a reality-check and start blogging.
Being a student of the non-residential MBA program, the opportunity to go on a student-exchange to Escuela Superior de Administration y Direccion de Empressa (meaning Masters' school of Administration) , in short ESADE at Barcelona, Spain was a welcome break from work and time for student life at its fullest.
Three other full-time MBA students from IIMB (Dharini,Pari & Rohit) and two from IIML (Tarun & Saurabh) thought we will chug along together in this newland of Barca. We arrived on the 28-Sept and stayed put in a youth hostel called alberguinn and this was a neat place for a make-shift home before we settled in our newly found home, away from our homes in India. The apartment turned put ot be wonderfully well serviced, spacious and also in the heart of the city. We owe this discovery to Tarun and Saurabh.
Although nothing major has transpired after our landing in Spain, we have tried to explore Barca a little. Barca is a pretty clean city with friendly people and we have not had any major problems with language, although English is not as wide spread as Spanish. Nevertheless, we are chilling out here. Few good walks in the many parks of this verdant city with a cool climate has been very refreshing. Our daily schedule is pretty much fixed; a quick break-fast in the morning with classes running to latest till 6-00 and then looking forward for dinner. Pari and Dharini do the bulk of cooking (Indian spicy stuff....my mouth is watering even as I write this) and it is alleviating our problem of missing Indian food to a great extent.
More interesting would be the weekends to come, when we plan to visit Madrid, Paris and other major European cities. So then I would have lots to write.
Before signing-off, a foto of all six of us....................:D
