was back…am back…

It always works for me…and I am so glad I know that it does…!!!

Going back to ISB helped…! Now the ‘missing’ is at a different level…! I know that things wont be the same…but then something convinced me that they wont be bad either. The same happened the 1st time I came back to India from the US…after that torturous first year…! I didn’t miss home as much…cause something had changed…! That something…worked this time around as well…

So these 6 days were mindblowing fun. The best was meeting E…cause I never thought I would…! And somehow…meeting everyone gave me a rather soothing feeling…! Its like…”they will be there always…so don’t worry…”…! Had a blast everyday…partying all night…DJ199 also played…and the entire atmosphere was surprisingly very nice…!

The new batch is awesome…to say the least. An extremely hyperactive…hyper-hectic…and supercool bunch of young people…! And some exceptionally talented individuals…and some awesomely experienced set of professionals…! It was lovely interacting with them…and a wonderful feeling to be on the other side…

It’s funny…and weird…! I left for the orientation on the 15th…exactly a year since I 1st reached ISB. And things have changed so much…the nervous questions have replaced the confident replies…the anxious thoughts about the placements have replaced the proud “I shall be joining AT Kearney at their Delhi Office” statement…the lost look amongst 345 odd students…replaced by their names…their faces…and their friendship…!

And this is what life is…! In 2 simple words…MOVING ON…!

Looking forward…and this time really so…for a totally new chapter…!

Lots to things to do…

  1. Sell off my bike

  2. Buy a new car

  3. Find an alternative source of funds…credit cards and R’s money not allowed anymore…!

  4. Buy formal wear…

  5. Collect my books frm V’s house

  6. Read up on my MBA main courses…!

  7. Finish the ‘Da Vinci Code’…FOR GOD SAKE…!

    A journey started not so long ago
    For someything to achieve,
    a life not to forego
    Of dreams,hopes fears,aspirations,
    Love friendship and much more…
    Move along in your stride..
    This isn’t the time to sink my friend,
    but to let go.

    Good luck to you..Warm wishes M.
