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! :)

one heck of a trip..

its not everyday that u go for a trip. but the one which we went ws very exciting.. its not evryday tht u go to a 150 km trip unplanned and all of a sudden. so in that way it was special. we experienced everything in between. 8 of us. the trip wasnt wht it became at the beginning. at the start, the idea was just to hire a vehicle and roam around the city. but when we had hired the vehicle for a day, the thoughts began swirling. bright ideas came up of what to do with the vehicle in one day.. and amongst many options put forward, the Cherai Beach near Ernakulam was the one we fixed. Started in the night of that saturday. Lots of roaming abt the places and confusions in between regarding the routes. and besides that there was this shortage of fuel. a couple of times, we just reached the petrol pump, jus when the fuel was getting over. the whole night we were driving. at abt 2:30 am we went to our friends' house on the way. now tat was a surprise 2 his mom.. then at abt early morning ...

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.

Should we exist this way ?

The curiosity of mankind with finding Life on another planet has always been there. Various scientific expeditions, telescopes roaming all over the outer space, various researches going on. And often there are reports all over stating that there are life supporting planets many light years away from our own. Considering the philosophical side of it. Suppose if we do come across such a world, where life exists. We as a life form called HUMANS, existing on this third planet of the solar system called Earth. We have our own definitions for things that exist. It was around 5 or 6 years ago that the planet Pluto was deprived of its "planet" status. And there are various things as well, which we define for our own sensibilities. As humans, we are supposed to co-exist with all the fellow living beings on the Earth. But that's not what is happening. Just wonder, that one day, we do discover that there is a life-existing planet other than ours, and there is a life-form as well...
