Good times. Not good times. It's all in this blog! So what exactly is here? Life of an MBA, insights to life, movie reviews, whining, screams of joy, etc etc. Just life. And for a more static review of my life... visit www.josekin.net!

Good point, Shmoo...
I guess the question should be if I am not fully committed to a circle of friends, can I truly make good friends out of them?
Yes you can. I struggle with the same questions at times, between my Indian friends and my non-Indian friends and I can honestly say that I have made some really good, long lasting friendships in both groups. Now, if we talk about my pre-MBA friends, they completely hate me because many times I choose to do MBA friend activities rather than hang out with them. THAT for me is the real problem.
it's an interesting question that i've asked myself too. i think the answer is yes. we meet many more people than we used to when we were young; and we develop many more interests and hobbies and dimensions in personality that it's impossible to expect a single group of friends to share them all. e.g. i had fun skiing with you and willette et al and would prefer doing so with you guys than my drinking buddies who are still on the greens; though i would go to them when i cook/drink - i understand and respect that you don't appreciate homecookings. but i think we are still good friends as far as skiing is concerned, no?
Even in Boston, I had my central group of friends and then my mostly separate music friends. Here I have few non-GSB friends, but all the GSB ones aren't necessarily friendly with each other. Though I'm forcing them to be. See brunch today. :)
