From Bombay To Boston: 125 Days At SPJIMR GMP

It was 20th of April; I was at my office desk, doing some regular stuff, when an e-mail popped up, with the subject ‘Offer Letter’. As an applicant to many Global Masters programs, I was excited and opened it instantly. It read ‘Congratulations! You are admitted into the Global Management Programme at SPJIMR and are also accepted for the MAief Program at Brandeis IBS, Boston with a merit scholarship’. I was elated. But, hardly had I come to terms with that jubilation, a second e-mail arrived a few days later, asking me to complete a set of pre-requisite courses before the orientation day, one month hence.

When HR Meets Healthcare! - TISS Mumbai

Two months ago, I got the opportunity of coming to my first fieldwork organisation: GSK Pharmaceuticals Ltd. The prospect of working with one of the largest pharmaceuticals and healthcare organizations in the world was exciting and the journey that ensued was equally amazing. Apart from the interesting project assigned to me, what I’ll always carry with me are the experiences that this place gave me. The knowledge sharing sessions with the senior management, the lunches, the walks after lunch, the tiny celebrations and the laughter between work are memories I will take away with me.

The First 90 Days Of MBA

My colloquy with MBA started very early. I was fascinated by how businesses work and how they form the backbone of any economy. This fascination and curiosity pulled me to the doorstep of IIM Rohtak. Jittery, palpitation and exhilaration describes the way I felt the first time I stepped into the sprawling 200 acre campus of Indian Institute of Management, Rohtak.

The Journey To Becoming A Sports Enthusiast At XIMB

Apart from the few games we played during our school days like running, kho-kho, three-legged race, etc., I had never played any kind of sports. I was more of a bookworm. Though I liked watching sports such as cricket, badminton, basketball, etc, I never really played sports. But who would have thought that a person like me could ever play sports or even win one of the rounds? X-sports the annual inter-section tournament held by Sportscom, the sports committee of XIMB brought a turning point in my life. Being the first inter-section event, it instilled a feeling of enthusiasm and motivated participants to get to know each other better. Also, there was a rule that if girls won in any category, their section would get extra brownie points. This made the entire class come and practice together. Boys were seen teaching the tricks in cricket to girls.

ONAM – The Festival Of India - SPJIMR Mumbai

“Thithi Thara thithi thai thithai thaka thei thei thom", the Kerala boat race chants that chorused through the auditorium from a crowd of 300, dressed in ethnic Kerala saree and mundu; the thrill that I experienced while facing them was the best amongst the Onam celebrations I had all these years.

How To Stick Around At Your B-School And Make The Most Of It?

It is one of those times when most of the first year students in the premier b-schools of our country are perpetually high of sleep deprivation and are trying to find a meaning of what is happening to them. And it won't be an exaggeration if I say that few are contemplating about leaving the b-school and going back to their work life, which, for the most, was far easier than life at a b-school. The quest for being the best or rather getting the best (company) is on a high among the over-achievers, and a few like me, are concerned about somehow ending up with an internship. It's the beginning of a long race from places like Jamshedpur, Lucknow, Kozhikode etc., to places like Seoul, Amsterdam, NYC or Tokyo, and no one wants to be the last. If you ask me about my experience, I feel like I am living Dante Alighieri's 'Divine Comedy' in reverse. The end-term is the 'Paradiso', the few days between the SIPs and end-term would be the 'Purgatorio' and the SIPs would definitely be the 'Inferno'.
