Great Lakes : A year in retrospect

“One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful”, said Sigmund Freud once. I'm not the sort to wallow in nostalgia about the good old days and so, understandably, could never get the essence of this quote. Until some recent happenings like the Alumni meet, news of my batch mates getting hitched and their images flooding my social media timelines and current batch students pinging for advice regarding the “placement season” took me back to my ‘year of struggle’ at Great Lakes. What a year it was!

Life at IIM Shillong
