Merry Christmas
Having finished off with Thailand, I’m now in India on the second leg of my vacation. Right now I’m attending a cousin’s wedding. Unlike western weddings, an Indian wedding is a 3-4 day production with various ceremonies, parties and gatherings before the actual wedding. It typically includes lunch and dinner for close family and friends for those 3-4 days.
Right after the wedding’s over, I’ll be in a rush to get my MBA applications in for the January 9th deadline so I may not be able to post for a few weeks. When I get the time I’ll post about my travels and also about the investment environment in both countries.
But it is the holidays, so enjoy your time with the family. Merry Christmas everyone!

Planning on applying to Wharton, Stern and UCLA.
