I am always amazed by the kind of messages that are posted on the alumni network of my B School. Just today morning, I finally managed to log in to a mailbox full of week's worth of messages. There were usual mails about someone wanting to rent their property, someone wanting an apartment on rent, people wanting to sell or buy cars. Then there were mails for vacancies in companies and resumes of friends.

Of course, there were a few interesting ones like someone wanting a report on health-care facilities in Mongolia. Huh? If you give me a map of the globe, I will not be able to tell you where this country is located (Geography was not my claim to fame, ever!) and there are people interested in knowing about their health-care facilities? If this ain't amazing, I don't know what is.

Then there was someone looking for interventional specialists (radiologists and cardiologists). I had to run to Google for understanding what this means. :-)

I had a brief moment when I envied these people for working in fields which are so different from mine. But the next moment, I felt very proud to be a part of such diverse and rich alumni base, though I am just plain old IT :-)
