My story thus far...

Hi people,
I am Karthikeyan. Thanks for reading my blog. I hail from Madurai, a town in South Tamilnadu, India. A computer engineer by education, one day I got bit by the civil services bug. Civil services ( or famously put IAS,IFS,IPS) exam is considered to be the toughest exam if not on the earth atleast in India. The sheer toughness of the challenge motivated me to take up the challenge.
In the process of preparing I spent(invested?) four years, that is, from 2004 to 2008. Gave the attempts and once I made it till the personal interview stage. Readers may know that interview is the last stage of this tortuous selection process. I was so close to the goal yet too far from it. Lady luck didnot favour me that day( this is how I console myself after putting all efforts alas in vain).
That made me think that future has some different stuff for me in its store. I was fortunate to get into Loyola Institute of Business Administration(LIBA) at Chennai. Once more I reopened the student-life file. Beautiful girls, chasing assignment deadlines, spacious and library I felt like moving backward on a time machine.
Thus far life at LIBA has been pleasant. Hope it would continue the same...
