I came, I struggled and I'm struggling ;)


I still remember the day when I set my foot in IIM with all those aspirations. I wanted to be big, I wanted to be that someone who no one has seen, I wanted to shape the vision of the world...

CUT....okay, not everything in this is true. Yes, I remember my first day but I don't know if I harboured any big ambitions. I just wanted to maximize my learning. A lazy guy as I'm doesn't always plan for things I guess...any takers ;)

Anyways..where am I? Yeah...the planning. I didn't plan anything. I would be lying I have planned my management study and everything fell in place. Though it didn't happen out of the blue, it wasn't anything lesser.

It was all hunky dory till it all started to fall apart in the recession. Now, basic questions (is it really hunky dory? are you sure it's recession? will it fall ?blah blah blah) apart, it did send shivers down my spine. Is it my fault to pass out in this time when companies are looking to take people who will stay long time and not the ones who can maximize their revenue? Phew...long statements just like the long lines outside the placement office.

It's a learning in itself. The days that gone by have added a feather each in my repository of learning. No one can take away from me the learning of my life. No one can deny that I've had the best phase of my life which has been enshrined with some exemplary events. Thanks to recession, I've come to know the best quality in me - the irritatingly calming calm...
