Knowing when you've won
"I just want to be able to get to the point where I can say 'fuck you' to the company."
"Yes, I would say that I am truly successful in my chosen career if I have the ability to say 'fuck off' with no restraint."
-paraphrasing an HBS grad and Sloanie on their definition of career success

Someone's talking about OP again
"Wow, all my b-school buddies talk about when we get together is how we're not making enough money."
"Are all of you in finance?"
"How did you guess?"
-statement previous HBS grad makes after a pretty prolonged discussion on incentives and the relationship of product management and sales

Yes, it was nice seeing you too
"Hey guys."
"Rahul, what the hell are you wearing - this isn't some consulting gig. It's a barbecue for god's sake."
"Ah Michelle, always ready with the love."
-My reaction, after not seeing him for a year, to Rahul K.'s Thomas Pink and cufflinks outfit. Granted, he was going to wear that to the class dinner afterwards.

REUNION TIME. As you've probably noticed from all the emails you've been getting, reunion is fast approaching. If reliving the glory days of partying and networking is for you, then head on over to the old campus from June 2-5, 2005.

And because I love you guys so, I've included the registration link here:

GOOD LUCK RAHUL, WE'LL MISS YOU. Our favorite tall Rahul (or drunk Rahul, depending on the circumstance) has left NYC, in fact the entire United States, for a happy life with his soon-to-be blushing bride and spanking new job in India. As much as it will be difficult for us to contemplate an existence without hearing "love it. love it. love it." after suggesting a mad night of fun, we wish him the best. Don't think you've gotten rid of us so easily Rahul, there are visits to India in our future!

Anyone with pictures from the farewell party at NYC, please send them over to michelle@sloan and I'll post the link on the site. Thanks!

Congratulations to Marcus and Anisha, proud parents of MayaVarma-Wilson. The lovely young lady (and future heartbreaker with those stellar genes) was born April 20 at 12:23 a.m. Maya weighed 8 lbs and 1oz. and was 20.5 in long.

WELCOME SMERA!
Vishant and Anshika have a new baby girl. Pictures of the little angel and her proud parents can be viewed here. Congratulations, folks. Vishant, if she can shake her shoulders as well as you do, watch out Bollywood!

On the movie Troy
"Nothing beats Brad Pitt in a very short skirt."
"Except for Lucas in his tighty whities."

All you need is a wingman
"Why didn't you go up and talk to her? You are way cuter than that guy she's talking to now."
"Because I'm gutless."
