You know you’re from XIMR when. . .
You walk into college after 9:10 and a simple red Swift or blue WagonR can turn you into a ninja trying to sneak in without getting caught.

I have been in a very reflective mood lately and one of the things I have been thinking the most about is my education. I was a good student and while that may seem like a good thing, it is actually one of the biggest regrets of my life. When I look back at my school days, I can’t recall friendships, pranks, crushes or boyfriends with the same depth as I can the exams, scheduled tests or results. I never learnt to celebrate a 29/30 in a Sanskrit exam-I only knew how to sulk about not getting full marks. I never learnt how to be a gracious loser and clap for the person who beat me in tests….I only felt a wave of jealousy and humiliation at being beaten. I never realized that in life, what matters in humility in victory and grace in defeat…but God has his own plans and it took me years of insecurity, competitiveness and personal, academic and professional failures to make peace with the fact that one can’t and shouldn’t always be first. Sometimes, being first makes you win the battle, but lose the war.
