The IIM-A....

"Heard about it and aspired to be there
Work I put in was not enough to lead me there,
The institution being the best will not invite me there
Dreams will have to fade now that my success won't be there"

IIM-A - this institution which holds a hell lot of importance to all of us who wanna make it big in the world, who wanna achieve what not many wud be able to..well for me any of A,B,C would not have made a great difference but yes totally agree that the effort I had put in is not at all commendable, forget about it leading me there..why i am writing this blog, well I am getting to hear a lot about it from my friend, yes I am not only immune to his non-stop chatter but have always enjoyed it as well, sorry "always" would be too polite , "often" might be more appropriate..

If you notice most of my blogs tend to be more about something which keeps tickling in my mind and this time again i prefer not to be different. Everything good being done in this institutes is known to most of us- disciplined and a very impressive infrastructure, i too had this opinion but then when i got to know more about it and terms like "discrimination" come into the fore that you tend to sit and realize that eventually its "INDIA" where out of sheer care we tend to make people we like, handicapped by our favours, favouritism will make us overlook the capabilities that our so called "dear" one might possess.yes so here as well we have everybody favouring the IITians and then the NITians and then the rest..well logic would be that these people are more capable , well they could be but if they are let them sweat it out with the rest, give them a chance to prove that they are indeed a class apart..just like every fresher there had been advised not to bask in the glory of their past laurels, let them leave their baggage of past success,join in with the rest and then let the race begin..

"Race, race as you want to leave a trace
Face, face thy fruits of labour raised,
Cherish, cherish thy sucess that you have now reaped
Best, best you indeed are until thy not accept defeat"

The journey continues..

"Life and its amazing flow
Thy tide will make me grow,
Take me to a land I never know
Memories strong I hold tight forever though"

My first blog said it once and I believed in it always - "unexpected twists and turns in life", just when you think life's settled and it won't surprise you any more, there it goes bang into you and the jerk is such that you can simply watch and see what else it takes you through..
I was settled in Bangalore very much, it wasn't that I dint expect more from life , it was just that I was contented with what had been happening-friends, work..yes it wasn't as if everything was fine at work but it wasn't smthing that I cudn't cope with..HE has always given me everything just at the time HE thinks I need it the most, so frankly speaking when I decided to switch to a new company I was thinking the wait is gonna be long like its been for everything else I have achieved in life..
The interviews were done and I accepted the job and was thrilled and excited about it.Yes i was leaving Bangalore, so big deal..how was I to know that it would indeed be a tough deal and its been like that ever since then..this place which I initially was scared of stepping into had given me some great moments in life,I would definitely not rate all as happy times but yes times which I would hold tight throughout..times which made me smile at my innocence, times which made me proud of my presence, times which made me sit and be observant, times which made me weep at my negligence and the list goes on..
Hyderabad- everything here seems to be mean and rude to me, the comparisons I would never stop with what I had in my previous abode, I love my house and my room-mates are nice, the people in my office are friendly as well, so I am left thinking the absence of what is making my life here seem miserable..maybe i was being skeptical about this place much before being here, maybe I had made up my mind that this place would not give me what Bangalore has..can i call this addiction but addiction to a place, seems weird, right?? but why do you forget, I had mentioned it in the beginning of this blog and i end with that note - Nothing is as unpredictable as "LIFE"...

"I wander through this land
Life here seems to be bare and bland,
I search your soul to hold thy hand
And cherish the warmth of your land"
