"Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans."
Delhi Times has been replaced by The Economic Times and comfy tracks have been thrown away for formal business suits.
It has been some two weeks since my Masters started and I did not even realize how I slowly transformed from being a confused-graduate to being a responsible MBA student.
Life has been hectic for the last few days but has been happening nevertheless (if nearly-being debarred for a day counts!) . Interestingly (and mistakenly) my B-school has taken the idea of being a school way too seriously. We have a professional uniform, mobile phones are banned inside the campus and we some twenty-year-olds sit in the class like some five-year-olds sincerely taking notes. But its fun! (No, I have not cracked, yet )
For the past one year, while preparing for the entrance exams, this is what I missed the most. A routine and a day to look forward to. Having a goal set for myself is what gives me a kick! ( the filmy effect, sigh!).
The new environment is going to take a little more time getting adjusted to but the people have been welcoming and warm and that is maybe what matters the most. Lecturers have been strict but that is a given them being so experienced (My Economics teacher is a respected author and has more than 3 decades of teaching experience, wooohooo! Modesty flies out of the window! ).
In some two years, I am ( like other MBA's) going to turn into a jargon-throwing professional (and yes, I am excited about it! ;) ) Crisp shirts, formal trousers and high heels are going to be my second skin. And I will also have a fat pay-cheque with a holiday in an exotic location as a perquisite (asking for too much? Am I? naaah).
But then, (gets hit by a realization that the first semester has just begun) life has changed. The faces are new and life has started anew and being ambitious is what counts the most. In the end, I would quote something I wrote in my diary the day I graduated, "Dear life, I look forward to you once again!"
