Graduation
After close to two years I had the pleasure to graduate from the Rutgers Executive MBA program. A truely memorable and enlightening experience, with an incredible bunch of classmates.
Now Reading
I have added a new part to the site, a nifty WordPress plugin from Rob Miller called Now Reading.
Not too much exciting material since it is mostly business books for my MBA, but should grow over time.
You can also find the Now Reading page from the nav.
Best in Finance & Strategy
My Exectutive MBA program got some very good news, when BusinessWeek ranked Rutgers Business School EMBA Best in Finance, Strategy.
This is great news for a program that gets overshadowed by the programs to the west and east.
The professors involved with the Fainance & Strategy classes, of which I have personally had classes with Mark and Suresh:
- Ivan Brick (Advanced Finance)
- Mark Castelino (Financial management and Investments)
- Barry Karafin (strategy)
- Claire Calandra (strategy)
- Suresh Govindaraj (Financial Statement Analysis)
- Howard Tuckman (Strategy–Sarbanes Oxley)
A lot of the credit is due to the director of the program, Farrokh Langdana.
More China Photos
Finally got copies of everyone’s photos from our China trip, all 1200 of them. This is following up from the first batch I put up.
You can also check out China photos on the REMBA site.

Beijing & Shanghai
How did you spend your summer vacation?
I was lucky enough to spend a week and a half in China for my MBA program in Beijing and Shanghai. Overall a fantasic experience except for the blazing heat and oppressive haze.
But to start are some of the photos from the trip. There were over 40 of us so a decent sized group.

Since I lived in Hong Kong for 6 months and Singapore for 3.5 years, I expect to add a bit more eastern stuff.
Banlangen Keli
Just returned from a week of classes for my MBA, and managed to catch myself a bit of a sore thoat. I’m not a big fan of the chemical remedies, and avoid them if I can. But I did get ahold of some Chinese herbal medicine that works wonders. Stuff is called Banlangen Keli and did wonders to pump up my energy and give some temp relief. Just add hot water.
Description - Brown granules. Sweet and slightly bitter in taste.
Ingredients - Radix isatidis (Isatis Tinctoria L.). Non-medical ingredients: sugar, dextrin.
Category - Non-prescription cold medicine
Indications - To remove toxic heat, counteract toxic effect, cool the blood, heal swollen and sore throat. Effective on influenza.
Dosage - Take orally. One to two packets each time, 3 to 4 times a day.
So I will either head to Chinatown to find the stuff or maybe get some online from HK for a buck and a half or from the States for 7.
