One Year Down at Planet-E!

A small void left about. The calmness gets into the mind, but still, you miss the fulfilment inside the void.

That's the situation which is lingering now. Even though, the ever active and lively life has come to a break, in a way it's being missed. The constant running around, handling different things at a time and wrapping up time till and post midnight. That's on a break, at least academically.

So, taking a flashback to June 2012. It was a different time. As an MBA aspirant I had put foot on that soil, with hopes of entering the 'management' world, a door to another world - that of the Corporate.  And from there on, close to 10 months have been spent there. With most of the time being there, it has evolved to be my second home. And the feeling of staying separate from it, doesn't get digested much.

But just a short recap on went on within the past year - 10 months to be exact.

Right from the Orientation session, the gelling in with the fellow students had been good. They changed from "fellow students" to "friends" to "close friends". The progression wasn't quick, but faster than expected. Within 2 weeks we all had been spending a hell a lot of time with each other.

Committee Selections
Right after the seniors put their foot on home soil, it was time for the prestigious committee selections. As is evident in any campus life, the full fledged activities, both professional and co-curricular are the life of the campus. And committee selections meant to select the people who would be responsible for it. An experience one of it's kind.

The Cultural Extravaganza - Utsav
Then when the whole campus has been sprung to life and the bonding with Seniors has been going good, comes the cultural manifesto called Utsav. I must say, it's another experience of sorts. You learn your first lessons of time management here. And no matter what happens, you do enter your classes, or else, you know what happens!

The B-Fest - Pragati
And the prestigious event of any B-school - the B-Fest arrives. With close to 3 months of work and preparations for the B-Fest, it's a totally different experience altogether. With a system in place for everything, it speaks of responsibilities. Responsibilities which you are accountable for - your actions and decisions. It gives you a brand new experience of different stages of anything. Or teamwork, mistakes, decision-making, negotiations and the list goes on.
It surely was one of the memorable events of my life, that's for sure. The things learnt will be along with me.

Among everything there were times of fun, times of academics, and probably we all learnt one lesson throughout - Time is very much available to everyone, it's just the matter how you use it. Time Management has been an important lesson learnt there! And I'm sure it was necessary as well. Not everyone is of the same level! So we all need to learn it.

Life had taken a different turn. A whole bunch of new friends, and a differently realigned attitude as well. Energy all the time, change of sleep schedules, constant running around, these are changes I myself am surprised off. But there is the element of fun in that. After all, life is not to stay idle and sit down. It's to take charge and act.

Now, onto the next chapter of management world, to feel the corporate world first hand, Hope to learn many things out of the experiences which I come across.

Wish me luck people! :)

Isn't it better to say it to the face?

It's a straight question. Isn't it better to say it right to the face ? I mean, there are various instances in our life, when we don't say things to people. We somehow manage to avoid the situation, or compromise that the situation is covered up. So that, we don't have to face awkward circumstances. But actually, shouldn't we be doing the opposite thing ? In this new age, with means of communication moving into various realms, it has become possible to express yourself in easier ways, than meeting the person, and saying it to the them directly. And definitely, all persons, prefer the better versions of communication, since it doesn't involve so much of embarrassment. When you are texting the person about your anger, your frustrations. The reason for this is the recent incident that I came across. Two friends - staying in touch all the time, meet in person after a long time. But due to some complexes, one was upset with the other. And naturally, when they

Vicious Circle of Survival of the Fittest

It's one of the famous theories existing in the world. The one part of the evolutionary theory proposed by Charles Darwin, which we all have learnt in school - "Survival of the fittest". Along the years of human evolution, the above said principle has seen to be followed by us as a species. And it is very evident in other species as well. The strong and the healthy ones, survive the competition and progress further in time. The ones who are weak, perish and the cycle repeats for numerous number of times. It might have been repeating for millions of years! Once one-sided, but it returns back! When we reflect on our society, we see the very repercussions of this theory in it. People have been evolving as civilizations along many years, and there have been remarkable changes in our societies as well. But as we should see two sides of everything, there are two sections of people, one which is very well off in their lives, and another section which is not at all so. P

The Culture of a Train

  While closing the miles With at most sincerity Comes the responsibility Of staying true to yourself. Tales of people from everywhere And talks of everything  around The audience differs in whole But speaks a single language The journey speaks of oneness And of various adventures Of countless days and The numerous nights A singularity speaks Unknowingly sings its own song Of common dialects And permanent topics A train has its own identity From source to destination And carries along with it A prevalent culture through its people. Every traveller who joins the journey Becomes part of those verses Of miles and of hours Numerous, yet single in magnitude.
