M.B.A and After

Life changes so much once you finish School. That goes for B-School also. I never realized that there was a comfort in having a routine, in having set deadlines and a very tangible objective to work toward.

To any new readers to this section, let me introduce myself as an almost-alumni of ASB…Student of Batch of 2006-08 and awaiting a kind gesture from the Institution in the form of a Convocation.

To continue, the scary thing about Life afterward is that nothing really is certain. Everything is really, your choice. What’s that? Did I hear a sigh if relief? Phew! Sounds like heaven away from these killer schedules? :)

Can’t deny that it is a relief to have timely meals and minimum sleep everyday. :) But the responsibility that comes from having that kind of freedom is something, unless you have learnt how to deal with it, you may find it… very challenging. What you thought were daily decisions in M.B.A… can turn out to have serious consequences unless taken carefully. The stakes are higher. Period. :)

For all you new guys and girls stepped into the portals of Amrita School of Business, Welcome! You’re in a place and in a program that can change your Life in many ways. You can choose what you want to make of it. Torture… :) Learning… :) (the two are synonyms, by the way) Fun… :)Discovery… :)

Just remember to take what you want out of it and give back something… Without either, your experience is incomplete. It will be a roller-coaster ride that I felt would never end… Don’t worry, it will go faster than you can imagine.

When it did, I found myself distinctly thinking that what felt challenging then, was definitely more of a comfort zone than looking Life in the eye. :)

Oh Im not a crocodile-catcher or in any dangerous profession. Im at home and getting married in October. :) Hehe…

Make of that Statement what you will; but I stand by what I said. Real Life is more challenging than any combination of mean deadlines clashing at 11 P.M of the same night. Period.

That’s one take of how Life is M.B.A and After. Until a different one, signing off and looking forward to new bloggers gracing this Space from the new set. Cheers all! :)
