one more milestone in journey called life

So, here it comes , end of 1st year at IIMB. Made new friends, met some old friends. If 1st year can be summarized in one word it will be "Interesting". MBA tought me how to work late night or sleep only in the day time. How to keep patience when things are not going your way( although this was the case every day here). Some new words added in the dictionary( r.g, c.p etc...............). 

Problem of selection

You always need to make choices in life, choices which will decide how well or worse you are going to be in the future. I am facing this dilemma now in choosing subjects for the next term. With markets in a slump, fin subjects are not on the priority list, but if markets are up by the time we pass out, not taking finance subjects can hurt. Marketing is necessary looking at the present market scenario and I like operations. What to choose, should I try to hedge against the losses. At this time hedging looks the better option to me. Take subjects from all fields, “Jack of all trades, master of none" condition.

Keep things Simple

At IIMB life becomes so complex and you do so many things you don't know how to react. My class mate and friend Saransh keeps telling me "Don't become part of the system"(although he himself is one), and live your life as you are. It took me more than one trimester to understand that. So the simple funda for me now is keep things simple. I am putting the photographs of our victorious cricket team from IIMA and IIMK. It's time to say good bye to seniors and best of luck to them for their future.  

Education might not change the way people think and behave

Last weekend I was in IIM Khozhikode for sports meet named Sangram. The way people behaved and treated each other reminded me of a nursery school. A school where people don't think before reacting. One might think that life is a all about learning and achieving the next level. But as told by some researchers your behaviour is determined by your past and IIMK guys showed that.

Some positives were that our cricket team won the match convincingly and we survived what ever happened there.

Competition

"Competition keeps you going" that was the line I always believed in. But often it makes you sick also. While trying to do better than others you take some steps that can harm you and your friends . At this place where every one tries to reach where no body has reached before this competition takes the worst shape. I will have to save my self from becoming part of this "RAT RACE" after clearing "CAT".

VBL

So I am now a member of VBL group of section A at IIMB. It was a nice experience today, going out for dinner with 13 people. After MNNIT I went out with these many people for first time. Lot of noise and exchange of weird ideas. Enjoy life?

Placement week over

You see flood of emotions during this week and make friends who will be with you throughout your life
