I could write about how great it felt and what an amazing feat it is for a school which is only 6 years old but that would hardly be characteristic of 'random quotes'. So here are my random thoughts on this whole issue.
We are proud to be in a school which is highly regarded and this was a good vindication of what we have believed in but then came the numerous articles and comments about how IIM's didn't make it and how wrong the ranking was etc. and I thought that maybe its the price of fame.
Personally, 3 schools which had rejected my application for MBA are now ranked below ISB. Such is life ppl, the only thing permanent is change and that brings me to a quote my friend V's philosophy on life:
I am just an instrument who does what needs to be done without pride or guilt though once the task is done, there is a feeling of happiness.
Food for thought? For all of us students and ISB since all of us need to keep going- all the way to the top!

ISB- place to be
This is my first post about ISB and I am really trying to think about a quote which will epitomise this place. Should it be 'survival of the fittest' or the 'ultimate Business school'?
Its seems to be a great place with probably the finest professors and peer group that you could find.
But then sometimes you can overdo it. Sometimes you do get the feeling that ISB is really just a subset of the 'big bad corporate' world and maybe as an academic institution it should be more than that.
You see an academic institution even one that teaches Business needs to be more than just a glorified recruitment exchange. I feel that we as a batch are capable of much more if only we realise what we can do we probably can. So here's my quote for this post, from the poem by Robert Frost,
"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
