What is the first thing that you look forward to after joining college? New people? New friends? A new environment, possibly away from one in your hometown you have so grown accustomed to? A journey that will make you ride an emotional wave with its fair share of crests and troughs before you reach your ultimate destination?
It is strange how sometimes we randomly find things which we didn’t even know were missing in our lives (close enough to Latent needs in Marketing terminology?). I remember, at some point in time during the sixth semester of my B.Tech, being utterly clueless about what was missing in my life I decided to give CAT a shot. We all strive throughout our lives to rise above mediocrity. Hence studying in an IIM was always ‘The Dream’, but my preliminary research taught me, simply a good score in CAT can’t fetch you your dream. A large portion of my CAT interview comprised of me arguing with the panellists how I think CAT’s policy of providing an extra weightage based on work experience is unfair and increases the challenge for freshers to get into good b-schools. That day was the beginning of the journey where we have to prove our worth at every point to make ourselves noticeable in the harsh lifeless corporate world.
As the world celebrated third international yoga day with a positive and enthusiastic spirit, it was also observed with the same passion at Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi. This day was on its own a key day for FMS as we were welcoming the new MBA Full Time Batch of 2019, and we were marking the beginning of a new era at FMS under our new Dean Dr Sunita Singh Sengupta. As our honourable dean says “there is nothing more spiritual to start the induction programme than celebrating International Yoga Day”.
Getting selected to IIM Ranchi, one of the premier b-schools in India is euphoric itself, but then the real challenge begins when you have to mix, work and compete with the best all at the same time.
As the train left Rourkela station on 16th of june, 2017, there wasn’t a tiny bit of sadness on my parents’ face. There was but a whole ocean of pride, easily discernible. Their son was going to an IIM, the nearest one to home. “Make sure you come home on alternate weekends, beta”, were the last words I heard my mother say before the train noisily dragged out of the station.
Although many questions are constantly raised about India’s unity, we have always stood united even during the worst of the adversities. We have shown the world that we respect and value all the religions and cultures equally. Keeping up with that secular spirit, the students of SIBM-Bengaluru, just like every year, celebrated Iftar.
'The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences.'
