Not long ago, I was browsing through articles of InsideIIM. I was an aspirant, who wanted to know all that he could about B-Schools. And InsideIIM helped me a lot. After a few months, I am on the other side. Now, I am a student at IIM. And this article will tell my story from being an aspirant to an MBA Student.
We are more than halfway to our one-year roller coaster MBA program but still not able to come up with a sustainable plan! Yes, it is MBA, which will prepare you to handle madness, chaos and success if nothing else.
If I tell you that you can still have her, would you start looking for her? Will you tell her that you missed her all this time? Would you confess your love for her, finally?
Everyone around us, each and every single person on this planet is talented in one or the other way. Its upon the person to find that ray of hope and let it shine. Some people are born brilliant, but those are exceptional. There is nothing in this world a person cannot achieve with his sheer talent and hard work. Its only about choosing wisely what to do and what not to.

It has been only 45 days since I joined campus, but I am already in love with its greenery and architecture. But the most disheartening fact about any IIM is that even though it’s beautiful you won’t be having any time to enjoy its beauty.
Since I embarked on my journey to pursue an MBA, it has been full of rejections. In making it to my current position as a student at XLRI, I have had more rejections than acceptances. While dealing with rejections myself, I have seen many smart students deal with their share of rejections as well.
They say change is the only constant. The same happened to me about a month back when I had to shift to start my MBA here at IIM Indore. New girl to the city, to the hostel life, to an MBA program. It was all completely different. From the fact of going to eat by myself to prepare for the class on the following day, none of it I’d done before. I’ve never been good at accepting changes and I go through a series of denial before I start accepting it. Life at Indore was no different.
