So I am in KJ Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research, Mumbai.
Its been more than one month here. How it feels is difficult to put down in words.
The beginning was not so good.Infact I was feeling bewildered…sometimes lost…sometimes gloomy…sometimes angry….Frequently questions like -why did I leave the comfortable job , convenient infow of monthly salary,company of my near-dear one n land into the "wonderful life of B-school" kept coming in mind.The lectures on "mushrooming B-schools-fierce competition" and "first-deserve -then-desire" brought us on the hard ground of reality. Quizzes on current affairs made us realize how much more aware and conscious we must be…New faces around provided interesting opportunity of knowing new people but I felt exasperated at my natural reservedness that keeps me back in the beginning .I saw some people mingling fast, some forming groups , some very professional or impersonal , some very active and smart …a rich variety but still all unknown…. A voice within kept asking where will I fit?...Or will I ever adjust in there?
I kept going back to those big promises and ideologies with which I had weaved my dream of doing MBA, to have the most worthwhile two years of my life,to do my best,to give it all that it takes and emerge as a much better individual. I thought all that and told myself-"yes this is it,you are living your dream.Every minute is precious". This indeed, boosted my energy and propelled me to face all and move ahead.
Slowly as expected and wished it has all started improving. Our group assignments has made us work with our classsmates and know them better. There is more talking more understanding. There are ample assignments and presentations to keep us on feet. There is lot of information sharing,taking new initiatives and a good process of learning and un-learning….All of us freshers went to Lonavala trip and had fun.We had a blast in the ice-breaking event "All Izz Well" organized by seniors( in which we , PGDM-A,won the show and yes what a magnanimous feat it was...) and today we had Impression 2010 in which our dance group won the first prize..So all this has started becoming lot of fun…
I wish with all my heart these two years turn out really valuable n memrable one..
As rightly said on our Impressions T-shirt "A journey of thousand leagues starts with a single step"..!
