Inspired by the rain....

Well, the tradition continues - a year has passed and i'm back with a post. This time its a poem!

Sitting by the window with my knees drawn to my chest
I witness the grandeur of nature unleashing itself in its purest form
the city bereft of any light
Is it natures way of crying in the dark?
Only to the attention of those in love, pain or joy?
Just as the walls listen to you cry in silence...
The rain stops pouring..
Perhaps it has found its solace..
When wil i find mine?

My journey into SDM IMD, Mysore

Yes..the time is ticking away, 2 more weeks of namma chennai b4 I pack up and start a new phase in my life. Something that i have always wanted to do for a very long time..ye, to pursue my management degree..after a not so grueling preparation session(well to be honest i never studied like i was supposed to,i could give a hundred excuses but, i sit back to think maybe i could have done better)...anyways CAT came and went, and i thought i had to throw my dreams outta the window atleast for this year...come the results and i got an 85 percentile which i think is not too bad for some1 who gave work more importance, than was needed.then came the eternal search for the college that would take me in with my work ex and score...After a thorough search in google and loads of reading up on PG(Pagalguy, i am sure most of the MBA aspirants would know by now), i narrowed down on three colleges - SDM IMD, Kirloskar and Wellingkar. I went by my gut feeling and applied for all three, the irony was that SDM had just extended their dates for applying (here is where i think God has mysterious ways of making things work). I was eagerly waiting for the results of all three, first came the call for Kirloskar, i dont know why but i never had the urge to really go for the GDPI. Next came the call from SDM IMD. I was really excited, one cause i thought this was the college that would really click for me and second being my best friend was called too!

So the dates fast approached and after the PI, i thought "OH my God, will i really get in!",(well i guess i have the luck to get stress tested in interviews cause the same thing happened with Infy too). After days of waiting n constant checking of the results, it was D-Day. I was so excited to see my name in the first List !! My excitement grew no bounds, for several reasons - a) I have been given the wonderful opportunity to pursue my dream b) Frankly, i did not see myself growing in the technical industry(My heart always reached out to management) and c) It gave me the wonderful opportunity to go and live in the hostel, i always have felt that hostel life would give me a sense of responsibility and of c hostel life is supposed to be a lot of fun!

After loads of discussions with my near and dear ones, it was decided that i take up the offer from SDM. And before i knew it, my folks and I were in Mysore, to check out the campus and pay the fee.We took a tour of the campus and I found it to be a very neat college, with clean infrastructure and warm people. We made a decision. this was were I am going to spend the next two years of my life! We paid the fee and thus I officially became a part of the SDMIMD 2009-2011 batch ! I'm excited, I'm scared, I'm exalted, I'm terrified and there a hundred other feelings that are running through my head now.. However i am looking forward to this journey which i hope helps me develop holistically and serves as a platform for great education and fun!

Last day as an infoscion

Its been a good 2 years or so since I blogged. But i guess there are a couple of reasons for the same, pure laziness is the top reason..and of course, work being another. Not that I was stuffed with work or anything..but still the traveling to and fro to work has drained all the energy outta me! Yesterday was my last day at work..well it didn’t feel like it at all. Yes, there was all the "goodbye to you and best of luck to you" repeated several hundred times to several people, but still the fact that I was no longer an "Infoscion" just didn’t sink in.

Anyway my ideal last day would have been to just spend time with my friends and do everything that I usually do one last time. And that’s how my last day was really like, except that I had to run around doing last minute relieving work and I just could not meet some friends who I really wanted to. Anyway what’s over is over. No regrets, no sorrow, just glad that I was able to be a part of a great organization like Infy.

More than anything, Infy served as a platform to meet some really inspiring people, great friends, few good project mates. Besides it also gave me a fresh perspective of things, a reason to pursue my dreams, a clearer vision as to what i should or should not be doing and an opportunity to work in a world class infra-structure.

Anyway time to move on in life, I choose to leave all the bad memories behind and carry with me memories that will bring a smile on my lips every time I think about them. And thanks to everyone who helped me make those happy memories! Adios Infy !
