5 Things You Should Know About While Joining A B-School

The campus in the clouds never sleeps. A future manager suddenly wakes up to the sounds of joy coming from the meeting area between the hostels, our beloved quadrangle. He walks towards the sounds confused what could be so important at 12 AM in the night. He reaches there and witnesses something he had long forgotten since his graduation college. A birthday. The whole batch, celebrating the fact that one of them is now closer to his forties. Everyone is happy except, the person of the hour. Running to hide, the celebrations here can sometimes be painful. Lesson 1, wear lots of clothes on your birthday.

Sustainability Trek 2017 - IIM Shillong - An Experience Of A Lifetime

On 9th July, I had one of the best experiences of my life. PGP17 was taken on a trek as a part of the foundation course on sustainability.

The sheer variety of the shades of green that I was seeing was in itself stunning. To add to the beauty, we were walking along a large stream that lent itself wonderfully to photographs. We were privileged enough to see the sacred spots inside the forest where the locals conduct their rituals. It was a truly refreshing experience.

What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

As a child, in primary school, I loved participating in fancy-dress competitions. Dressed up like Nehru, with a rose pinned on my chest, I would go on to speak like a mini-statesman. Fortunate to be blessed with the gift of oratory, I went on to win many fancy-dress competitions. Every win used to fill me up with pride, so much so that I would go on to ‘fancy’ my chances of becoming the Prime Minister of India someday. And the innocent soul I was back then, I would actually answer every ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ with ‘Prime Minister’ in utmost seriousness.
