This post hopefully will gratify my urge to express my feelings, thats been postponed for a while & help in th purpose of some gainful self digging!
Having completed my Engineering degree, I immediately opted for a for an MBA to gratify my quest of getting something more, being able to be smarter & "add value to my personality"! Consequently, my MBA program started before I could finish my final exams in Computer Engineering & I barely could get any break in between the two courses, but I was all merry as it was the beginning of a new Horizon for me, I was anxiously entering into a new territory!
The MBA classes started with me shifting to Gurgaon, away from home and to be honest, I was really excited about this part! I always felt that student life was incomplete without the Hostel Life & I didn't have much experiences with hostel, apart from the brief stint that I had in the 1st yr of my Engineering, where Soumya was with me all th time & I felt comfortably at home, even in the hostel.
Now, this PG that I'd taken was fun in the beginning but eventually turned out to be 'Routine', we all used to look forward to weekends to get back home!
So, Th very first time day in th B school made me all happy! Th school looked so professional & grand! It boasted of a huge tall building that made me drool at it for a while, for reasons best known to me & my Grad friends ;) .
The first few days of my MBA were apprehensive, I took my time to open up & that was because of th new surroundings, I virtually had to figure out my way in & outta th building th very first time! No matter how mature, confident & experienced we may think we are, new things surely bring a new sense of anxiety!
The 1st sem of my MBA was fun, Each time I think about our Fresher's party I can't resist a smile! I was made th cultural head of the students council & I was so happy that It was all so lovely for me! I made friends, some good & some bad. Encountered guys who looked sweet & decent but turned out to be a lecher! But it all is worthwhile & I learned much about people & life!
At th end of th 2nd sem, we are supposed to intern with corporates. I'm with Reliance Retail. It all seems like a vague & blurred memory, when I used to see these Gurgaon skyscrapers from a distance, it looked like it belonged to some other, distant world! And now I am working here in this 15 storeyed building, with a Singaporean look & feel to it. Now, I am a part of this corporate mob milling around this 'Cyber City' of Gurgaon. And suddenly on my way to this two storeyed multi specialty gym I realize that I've reached a new horizon! Th MBA has done th trick! Though I still think like an Engineer, th perspective has widened. Now I know whats WTO's trade policy & how to export Mangoes after taking APEDA registration ;)! Life's changing every minute & am reaching new places, meeting new people! It seems only yesterday that I passed out of school & joined Engineering and now I am standing here, in my Internship Organisation, ready for a presentation for th people who spoke this corporate gibberish & intricate trade & stock terms once!
But in th end, its still th very same me, trying to explore & make a mark!
