“I don't like work - no man does - but I like what is in the work - the chance to find yourself. Your own reality - for yourself, not for others”. This phrase from Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness has come to define my purpose and has been the touchstone of reality in my journey to truly discover myself as life peels me like an orange. 
And trust me on this, my three years at Ramjas College, studying English Literature, enjoying college fests, experiencing unbridled freedom had not prepared me for what was in store for me at SIBM Bengaluru. The ability to articulate, contest and question wasn’t enough to ideate, conceptualize and execute which constitutes a typical day at SIBM Bengaluru and there began the process of learning.
I still remember the frenzy that surrounded all of us when we were subjected to the Harvard Pre Induction Module assessment at the end of first month. It had then seemed nothing less than ordeal; the some among us even called it outright atrocity. But in retrospect, the gruelling week prepared me for the rest of the semester and set me off for a journey that has been truly rewarding. 
A guy who believes in continual exploration of new things; especially about himself and the world around him; wants to be ‘been there, done that’ kind of hotshot, has few streaks of grey hairs which he tactfully hides [~smirks~]. The guy prefers to go by the pseudonym ‘Sak’ and how can I forget is six feet, four inches tall (not really a brobdingnagian though).
'Sak’ is currently, interning at FCB Ulka, Mumbai; Coordinator of Corporate Sponsorship Committee at the college and represents it in the Student Leadership Council as its member and has been a school prefect and ardent participant in debates and extempore in the past. He regularly contributes articles to SIBM Bengaluru’s monthly newsletter Symbeat and has covered the Marketing and Human Resources sections.
Perhaps, the most irritating characteristics is his nerving habit of being the devil’s advocate, of trying to find and bring our what might have been the reason of an individual’s action; of questioning everything ; a habit he picked up while studying Literature.
This is Saksham Yadav, signing off, wishing all the green horns about to live the MBA dream exciting two years [try to be reckless and assertive – a bull if you prefer] and more importantly a very bright and successful managerial career.

With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.”
