On Lesson 101 At IIFT

On Lesson 101 At IIFT

As I awoke to the blaring sound of the alarm, it took me a minute to gauge that I was not in my bedroom anymore but was in the hostel of one of the top B-schools of the country. With a tinge of homesickness, I looked at the buzz around my roomies and pseudo-roomies aka “loomies” were already getting ready for the long day that awaited us.  I quickly got ready and grabbed my breakfast on the way to the classroom.  As soon as the two hours of the class got over the students rushed out of the class to the in-campus Nescafe kiosk: The lifeline of all IIFTians. With coffee working its magic, we participated in the second class with as much enthusiasm as the first. After two more classes after lunch, as soon as I assumed we were done for the day, I was proven miserably wrong with an email instructing to assemble at the auditorium in an hour for a guest lecture. Being an optimistic person, I once again repeated the mistake of assuming the day was over after the guest lecture. This time the forms floated by the clubs, committees and cells for Positions of Responsibility (POR) proved me wrong. And soon I found myself busy drafting the answers to the forms. Lesson 101: At IIFT you are never done for the day.

Rajesh Khanna – The Star Of Our Batch - IIFT

Rajesh Khanna – The Star Of Our Batch - IIFT

Nobody thinks that they will have the opportunity to study with a Superstar, that too Rajesh Khanna, sounds like a dream does not it? Well, it is not a dream for me, in my division, we have our own Superstar (not the real one obviously ). He doesn’t know how to speak Hindi but makes up for it by his extravagant moves just like the “Original Superstar”, he can dance, he can sing, he can act, basically he is the complete package, not only this he also is good-natured which reflects his personality as pure gold and makes him a perfect person to be the politician of the hour. He drives a violet colour R15 that makes his superstar persona seem very enough.

A Goal Or A Journey? - IIFT

The date was 25th of June and standing at the gate of IIFT, looking at the school of my dream, I felt the pride. But why I was at IIFT campus, let's rewind. It was 14th of April and hard work of almost a year had turned out to be fruitful. I had cleared IIFT. My dream seemed to be realized. And here I was on 25th of June to be a part of IIFT, "IIFTian".

It Takes Sweat, Determination, And Hard Work - IIFT

It Takes Sweat, Determination, And Hard Work - IIFT

Having 2 suitcases and my parents with me I entered the gates of the IIFT Delhi. As the car passed by the front gate, I imagined whether I have taken the right decision or not. Seeing my parents smile at me with their heart filled with pride, I knew that I was at the right place. The old hostel where I was allotted my room was pretty much a normal building, but holding the aspirations and dreams of more than 150 students. I entered Room no 26, where I saw my roommate or as we call it roomie. A sweet petite girl from Maharashtra, who greeted me with a big smile on her face. After keeping my luggage, I sat on the bed staring at the wall for the next 2-3 minutes, not able to digest that am I finally here in my dream college. But, as it is said “A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.” and yes, my hard work has finally paid off. In the next 15 minutes I was again in the ground floor of the hostel near the entrance to bid goodbye to my parents. It is not that I haven’t stayed away from my parents, but this time even though I was just one call away from my parents, things seemed to be different. Different in a new way, Different in a good way.
