The Bittersweet Feeling - The End Of Year 1
As I write this, barely a week is left for the IIIrd Term to end, which marks the end of my Ist year of MBA. To say that it has been a roller coaster ride would be both a cliche and an understatement. A time for contemplation and retrospection, I find myself at a point where so many changes are traveling towards me at a lightning speed and I am thinking of all the changes that I have already absorbed. Every day here has shown me a new side of myself I didn't know existed and I continue to surprise myself. The dynamicity of this place has changed me and I will never be the same again.

The 5 Types Of Students You Meet In A B-School - DC And Marvel Edition

Starting from your go-to person for every situation- be it for career guidance, elective gyaan, project KT, relationship advice, etc. to the person who only does DCP (desperate class participation, a term we use in b-schools) in every class, you will find some of them amazing while the others irritating. But the journey with each one of them will be different and worth counting for.

The DOCC Diaries - On Visiting NGOs And NPOs In Remote Locations
After the taxi dropped four dusty figures on the Uttarkashi bus stop, we entered the designated place of accommodation only to discover that it surpassed our wildest imagination. Sadly, not for the better. The blankets smelled not-so-heavenly, the bedsheet had holes and a dismal yellow light flickered seemingly bemoaning our arrival. As we stood, slack-jawed by the door, the wind playing with our hair while river Bhagirathi went its way gurgling happily, we stroked our chin thoughtfully wondering what we could do to atone for this divine manifestation of old karmas.
