ISB Term 3 – Photowalk
One of the better terms at ISB – study-wise as well as fun-wise. All the alumni had warned us – term 3 would be the worst ever – the most amount of pressure – killing workload – the world would go crazy – or you would go crazy – so as expected the entire batch [...]

That ISB is a T-20 business school is a pretty mundane actuality; the spicy tidbit is that the institute conducted 89 arranged marriages in 2008, and the numbers are slated to cross the three-figure mark next year.
