IIM A: Day 1

Life cannot be better than this. Surreal is one word that can define the life here at ahmedabad, the entire campus is so full of solitude that even the student who tries to shove aside from studies all the time would end up willingly studying... Man!!!! all the places that i only saw in videos, i happen to see today.. The underpass, Vikram sarabhai library, the harvard steps, LKP, the KLDMC (the place where i am staying currently), etc etc.. every place, the entire structure has a story to tell, story of those great minds who proved them to be the conduit to the field that stepped into.

Its 12:30 am and i am at Vikram sarabhai library, the ambiance is such here that i do not feel like stepping out..and i am pretty sure i can spend the rest of the night hours studying here.. Well well!!! i am not alone as there are library is full of students who are slogging there ass out and trying to solve some case or the other.. Sahhhh!!!! the thing that i am at IIMA campus, in vikram sarabhai library.. has not sinked in yet.. Every hour i pinch myself and check if seriously it is a reality or i am in some dream world. But whatever it is.. even if it is a dream.. then i wish i never wake up but live in this dream only... 

Enroute to the world of zombies…IIM Ahmedabad

Past across as I look outside my window

Beauty and serenity captures my awe filled eyes

Stable wings, the calm clouds,

Beautiful rays of the sun

Adorning the pristine white clouds

Everything is similar to a paradise

Happy and perfect..

Things seem like a dream… IIM Ahmedabad, Indigo Airlines.. Flight 6E 237 seat 26 F.. Smile does not seem to come to a stop..Confidence does not seem to bounce low.. everything is just moving ahead and ahead.. Flying high up in the sky.. woah!! The moment the flight took off, it lifted my spirits and that dead confidence. This is truly a lifetime experience. Everything that I dreamt as a kid, is coming true. And the happiest thing of all is that I am making it true with my hard work and surely parents moral support.. Not been born with a silver spoon, I know the worth of each success that I get no matter how small or how big..as its all because of my toil..Working since class 12^th , toiling to fund my college studies then looking ahead, collecting funds to complete my masters.. Each success or coming true of the dreams makes me recall my past how I slogged for things, how I stared in people’s eyes when they talked of normal things that were simply a dream for me and a casual stuff for them… in fact still I do stare when they talk of things that are out of my reach.. But surely now there is no stopping as I do not want to stop..I will give all my dreams a shape.. a perfect real shape..

I am on board Indigo Airlines, my first flight experience and all the thanks goes to IIM Ahmedabad, again a dream. IIM Ahmedabad is a name that always fills my eyes with awe and face with smile. Always I dreamt of studying here but fortunately or unfortunately I could not make it to this esteem institution but one thing that I could make it to was freelance editor post.. Directly or indirectly I am gaining education from this esteemed institution and I am very happy about this fact. The very name IIM A freaks me out.. I do not know how will I react the moment that car comes to receive me and take me down to the lanes of IIMA Campus which I have always seen only in photos and dream.. but never in reality. Too excited for the entire learning that I will obtain there..

The workshop that I am going to attend is called “THE CASE METHOD IN MANAGEMENT EDUCATION”.. this is for management teachers but I don’t know what am I doing here.. everyone who wanted to participate for the workshop other than ones who got a proper call from the institute itself had to pay 50Kand also bear the other expenses like conveyance etc. But privileged as I was I am going to attend this workshop without paying a single penny.. not even the conveyance charges. The entire experience and feeling truly I cannot express in words..and it is only the smile on my face that is sufficient to express it all.  

Life has been really good to me for the past few months, first getting a call from IIM Ahmedabad for this job, then all of a sudden call from Madras school of Economics for Masters in financial economics, which was least expected as I hardly studied 2 days before the exams.. I mean everything was really surprising and so sudden that I could hardly feel the essence and happiness of its occurrence.

Love the moment, love the time

Hope things always chime and rhyme

All perfect and good all the time.. J
