If I am to start looking for specifics, I will always remember the very first lecture of this two year course- an awesome microeconomics lecture by one of the most wonderful professors whose last lecture was equally inspiring-
‘When you share your wealth with others, your own wealth shrinks,
When you share your knowledge with others, your own knowledge increases.

These slides are dedicated to you all. You're free to use it and distribute it to any student of economics; but for heaven's sake, though you're in a business school, do not make any business out of it.’
I don’t know why but for some reason these lines will stay with me forever. I think may be because these constantly remind me that the macro-system I’ll soon be a part of runs on profitability. But at the same time I am also reminded that my role is beyond it. Not everything is measurable and therefore many a decision in future may be based on unquantifiable data beyond the realms of traditional business. These also reaffirm my belief that though most things in a B-school for we, students, are centered around building a strong resume that will land us in the best of jobs in the world, I can afford to do things for the simple love of it.
IIM Lucknow apart from teaching me a business management curricula has in all ways done more than that. Reshaped some thinking and reinforced some beliefs. I know for sure, being here, in ‘Hell’, will turn out to be the most heavenly days of my life. More than GLAD to be part of the IIM-L Community :-)
