MBA Aspirant | InsideIIM

Eat, Pray, MBA

Winter is here. And it brings with it the tide of exams. The pressure is intense, and the air is thick with the smell of fear. The MBA train has arrived. Preparing for MBA is like travelling in an IRCTC train. You make the booking (register for exams) and expect to arrive at the destination. Never in history has a train started on time or reached on time. Sound familiar? It once happened to me that the train driver didn't turn up. Can you believe that? It took three hours to find a substitute. But, sooner or later, the MBA train reaches its destination. All it needs is a little bit of patience and perseverance.
