Thanks neo. My aspirations are slightly lower in the BW Rankings, but I will keep it in mind if I need to apply again !!

The person next to me belongs to the kind who doesn't talk much about what he/she plans to do, but shows it in real action by doing great things to help the world become a better place....a real gem, I should say.

Yes, integrity and respects for others are two moral goodness that I always try to live up to..

The next poster is intelligent, warm-hearted, accomplished but not arrogant, full of enthusiasm and who always tries to devote him/herself to the welfare of the society. Such an ideal leader which every b-school wants to have
