The happening place

This is an incredible week at ISB in terms of what hogs the calendar. On Monday we had Prof. Raghuram Rajan(Ex IMF chief economist) address the students on 'Liquidity Glut' (It is a different story that a good part of the advanced finance talk went over my head). Today we have Prof. Jeffrey Sachs talking to us on 'Climate change and sustainable development in India'. We are all so looking forward to litsen to Jeff talk in person, after seeing him in so many videos in the "Global economics" series. Tomorrow we have the chairman of the ISB board, Rajat Gupta having an interactive with the students. And once again every student wants to see the man who conceptualized ISB. To keep things in perspective we also have the mid-terms on friday :-). As if this was not enough a group of us had a one to one with our dean, Prof. Rammohan Rao. Had a really free flowing 1 hr of discussion with him and in the process got to know from him that ISB will be in the FT world rankings to be released in Jan/Feb 2008. Man this is really a happening place.
