1st post grad day................

.....If winters comes, can spring be far behind...? I say, YESS...That was what I felt when I arrived in IMT-N. The college is 1 of the top ranked in India, and it actually felt like that. The campus is spread in a large area and it is actually so neat, clean and welcoming that I readily felt at home. The hostel is spotlessly clean and very airy. I was to choose my hostel and I was fully decided that I will take a dual accomodation room. But after looking to the rooms, I felt it wud be bettr that I customise my room in my style and live undisturbed....so finally I chose room no. 216 B-block 2nd floor. The best part was that at the duration papa n I went for registration, maa set up my room fully and soo beautifully that I could never do it. Thnqq a lot mumma...! The lifeless room suddenly became like a fresh strawberry cake..with icing....haha. Anyways, I was bit upset with the location cuz that area had more seniors and very less juniors. But this was also done when Yamini came 2 my neighbouring room which was empty. Ab sab thik ho gaya thaa...I was happy now. then I had lnch with maa and papa and came back to my room.....Wow....my room...hehe...sounds soo unfamiliar...bt then, i gotto liv here for nxt 2 loooong years. I was so determined that I will not cry when paa n maa leave...but it had to...the time i hugged papa and maa, I felt like il not be able to see him for a long while and that, how will i live without them....I suddenly started crying like hell...cud nt stop the ganges flowing from m eyes, just could not...1 of my new friend, Nidhi was also stndng there crying while uncle was parting from her....we both were jst crying our heart out...bt then, zyada lag raha tha to thodi der me hum theek ho gye..hehe :P. We went back to our rooms and all was fine. The best part of yesterday was the night part wherin our seniors ordered us to come to the 'BADDY COURT' in formals for a healthy intro. This intro session went from 11.15pm to 2pm almost....damm tiring to go to every senior group and introduce yourself...repeat tht intro for God knows how many times, tell them about hobbies, sing for them if u r a good singer and even if u r not...do crazy tasks whatever they say to u, tell them about your USP, etc etc. Phir jaake apne room marte huye gaye and just quickly chnged dress and surrendered myself to the bed......It was so damm tiring but so enjoyful which will be repeated for the whole week til fresher's day...

New Begining....

This post is truely dedicated to people who never stopped thinking good about me and hoped for better things even when I have achieved my objectives so far....A week go things in my life were really smooth and well crafted and satisfactory & I was totally ready to embrace Bengaluru on 6th July. My family and I were very happy and contended with my future.....But there was some other plans for me made by my God...and probably he was not happy with my future and B'lore. Just few days back I got a call from IMT saying that my name was shortlisted for Nagpur campus. I was shocked..!! I mean getting IMT Nagpur in a not-so-good CAT score was next to impossible. The interview was to be held in IMT Ghaziabad (which was within my reach easily), 1 of the dream campuses of every MBA aspirant. I thought 'why not give a try?'. And so i went there, There were approx 65 aspirants....all shocked like me....all hopeful to give their best shot and enter in Nagpur. We had a written test where we needed to prepare a write up of approx 250 words in 30 minutes as per a business situation given and analyse the best decision to be taken according to the scenario. I made sure that atleast my word limit doesn't exceed, the writing is good throughout and most importantly the write up is sensible and mature. I was happy aftr that test but still in a favour of Alliance B'lor. Then came the interview time.........once again we all geared up to face the panel of 2 faculties. My name was called up aftr an hour of interview commencement. I had clearly nothing in my mind, was just ready to answer their multiple question banks. I asked permission to come in, sat on the chair right in front of them. Their 1st question was....as expected (as i already gave 2  really bad interviews), "TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF". I thought i would only say that much which i wrote while filling up my form and I did exactly that. But then they asked me what hobby I had apart from the listed hobbies- hmmm.....A tricky question..! I Coolly replied 'Travelling'. I was sure they would ask related to my newly said hobby, & yes...they did ask for which I was already ready and gave them names of variety of places so that they get a good picture of my choice. After that they asked to explain some commerce-related terms wherein I knew the answer of only 1 out of 3 correctly. Not a problem...mere saath aisa hi ho raha thaa previously...I was amazed at the time they asked me the Finance minister and HR minister of India and I gave them the correct names at 1 go...!!! I mean I was so proud of myself at that time bcoz I always tried to remember minister's names and many a times I failed miserably. Since i have done Prabhakar in Vocal classical music, a panel member asked the some details about Raag Malkos, I took a while remembering that but I could do it...anyways...but from the blue, the best question asked to me was of my favourite topic...Geography (precisely the political map). ! of the male member asked me to name the countries od Latin America....wowww...I was so fluent while answering this that actually they were so impressed that I had a good knowledge of it...I was, totally satisfied still in favour of B'lor. The result had to come that evening and when i checked my mail, there was a message unread by IMT. I opened it having sooo many emotions running inside my mind. But, as I told, it was a God-send decision...., I converted the call and was invited for PGDM course at IMT Nagpur. It was a totally WOW experience yaar.....I felt like climbing Mount Everest without oxygen masks.... hehe..!
That time I was really proud of myself and my ablities....what i gained from this was "even more faith from my family on me". My parent's head held high when I got through this and now they say it soo proudly that 'my daughter is going to IMT'. Thank you God, Thank you maa n papa n Ankurraa....and Thank you life for giving such a splendid opportunity. God bless everyone. :) :)
