New Beginnings

I'm making a daring move to restart my blog while maintaining a crazy consulting lifestyle. I hardly have time to do laundry, much less write but life is flying by and this is my best chance at keeping track.

There's no way I'll ever be able to make up the last two years of posts, but here's a quick recap:

In August, 2007 I started my MBA at University of Michigan. I met some amazing friends, learned to love the Midwest and college football, and learned a lot about myself and the business world. In May, I graduated and in July Deepak and I got engaged (he proposed in front of the Jefferson Memorial after fireworks). Soon thereafter we traveled to SE Asia for a few weeks to visit my dad in Thailand and cousins in Malaysia and Singapore. We also explored beautiful Angkor Wat, Thailand beaches, and Cameron Highlands. You can see our pics here: http://madala.smugmug.com/ (password: Madala)

In September, I moved to Pittsburgh and started work at Deloitte. I joined the Human Capital Consulting group, working to develop people-related solutions to business needs. I am exploring a range of services and industries that interest me and am trying to adjust to the constant travel. The work has been keeping me busy, but I'm learning a lot quickly. While I am still deciding if this is the career for me, I'm in a good place for now.

As I navigate my new career, I'm preparing for another big change: marriage. Stay tuned for more updates.
