Fuqua Days!

This blog that I started for my family and friends,
To keep them updated about my life distant,
Many a people stumbled upon it, and learned a thing or two,
A thing or two about MBA, Fuqua, Durham and Duke.

That was some years ago, and I was a student then,
You stumble upon it now, and I am a student still,
But now I talk about many different things,
Word from the past lives on alongside the present.
