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! :)

Darkness

As I sit within these walls Those thoughts, the mind recalls Craving for that cosy hand With that familiar blue band The shadows in the moonlight Search for the bright sunlight That once existed, for long Without any inhibitions, forlorn The breeze sings in midnight Though the clock waits for the light With the miles crossing by But the moon floats, as its own alibi The walks sing their ballads Out when they call, the nomads Those who belong to this world Yet, while they lie all curved Along the streets, they speak Of stories which call them a freak Smile along they do with might When others smirk at their sight Forget those who are bemoan Running behinds dreams flown Chasing peaks which are unreachable Carrying loads pretty unbearable A day shall come, long-drawn When the time will dawn Upon them with a light so bright Fight, they shall, with all their might.

The Trip

It was started off as just another Whatsapp group, but fortunately it ended up as something which materialized into a get-together. With couple of months of planning lead by our very own planning commision head, Mr. S, a trip to Ooty, worked out for the long weekend clubbed with Labor Day. The agenda was clear: A visit to our alma mater, a drive through the valleys of Ooty, and an overnight stay, and then the return day after - and yes, celebrating Mr. A’s homecoming as well. The plan looked simple, but the eagerness towards it wasn’t such. It had been a long time ever since the whole of Troublers (yes! that’s the name of our group), had sat down together, and talked like there wasn’t an end to the world. And The Trip was surely going to be a mark up for that. For me, it happened to be a rush through with missing out on the first day to The Trip. So after the hiccups with the month end closure and between the hurried heartbeats decrypting the excitement into smiles, I boarded t...

My Book Review - The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini Recently read this book. A wonderful work with blending of emotions. The story was interesting in the way it moved on from childhood to future life of the central character. It explains a lot about life in Afghanistan, though it is way back in the 80s, but still many times I felt really sorry for the life there. In a creation of fiction, it doesn't seem to be safe at all, so in reality, it would be worse.Would suggest anyone to read through it. The story is a definite example of the fact that, we do commit mistakes in our lives, and that there are chances to rectify them as well.
