Graduation and all the Moolah !!

It has been said aplenty, "Life is a Journey. And the Journey is more important than the Destination."

More often than not, if you follow this principle, you'd be left in good stead. So ditch all the long term plans, and live in the moment. Or a collection of them, like Graduation.

One can truly break that in your face question of Why MBA very easily. From where I stand, it is likely to be one of this:

• Break away from your undergrad university where you weren't exposed to your dream opportunities
• A complete U Turn, in terms of the chosen path, say from an Electrical Engg to IB
• Bored and hence getting back to the good ol' student ways, meeting people partying, lazing around

Obviously, the whole concoction of stuff starts way before the actual gassing up in a MBA. So you would be averse to yourself, and come up with THE answer, which would mostly border upon the first two. Rightly so, it ain't a small investment. There always will be people that fall in the 3rd ring also. However, there will also be a meek underline that would define the true purpose. And that's when the whole thing starts getting messier. The journey that was supposed to be a run of the mill MBA graduation, becomes much more.

All of it started with several doubts for me, with regards to the campus. And then I really figured out that question of Why MBA, and it made sense to dive in. Clarity was absolutely to the point. I have to go on the exchange program. Dumb, right? GMAT should have been ideal. Had made a date already infact, but then IIFT happened. Rest is all a spiral road, I must say. 

It was likely that I'd study the way I study and that left me with so much time as usual. The Campus, or lack of it, made a few things interesting. Mostly, it helped me walk over the laziness, and that opened other doors. Looking through them, you'd find some Coordinator Material, some Competitions, some Parties, some Travelling, some Interactions and many Friends. Probably the Guacamole of all the doors, was not the job, instead was the experience that is now etched and has chiseled me for better.

It would be stupid of me to try and chronicle two years out here, nevertheless, here's a shot at nothing and everything in a line or two:

To the awkwardness of one girl in the batch, to the PDPs and reverse, to the 1012, to standing up against your own (woh Revolt), to the entry of late bloomers ;) to the Corporate Roadies, to the return of laziness in classes, to complete disregard for authority, to 5 Samurai, to NOTE :D, to Elections, to Exchange, to Summers, to Blash, to 1214, to the other PDPs, to the Singapore fleet, to Port Visit, to NUS, to the Symposium, to Advait, to Google, to 100%, to all the conversations, to all of the time of 20 odd months, to all the experiences, to all the politics, to all the learning, to all the partying, to all the travelling and to all of 1113.
