This is about my b-school dream which may come true after three years. I am now more of a dreamer than an aspirant. I want to live that hectic MBA life which makes you capable of tackling every problem you will face in life. I decided that I want to do MBA when I was in 9th std and from then on I started reading articles on b-schools and MBA life.
Time: 00:42:42 Hrs
Focus, focus, focus! Aware of the devious minds at work, the wheels of logic already in motion, I request you to kindly direct your attention to the first two words of the title rather than the final one, for this intriguing tale is certain to keep you on the edge of your seat.
There is surely a life beyond IIMs. No institute in this world has the power to limit an individual’s capabilities or decide an individual’s fate. Every year, the 99% of the CAT takers who don’t make it to the country’s most sought after b-schools must know this, that it’s never the end of life. Life must have better things in store for them.
The start of everyday is a new game to me, upon the field of my duties; but the immediacy of the hour leaves me no time for the pursuit of it, and at the close of my career I fear I shall merely have gone helter skelter through the current business of my firm and leave no permanent trace of my ever having been in it
“Last night I couldn’t sleep! NO, 24 hours are not enough, not for a PGP-1!”
Do you still cherish the moment of converting a call from top b-school? Why not? You should! You have strived for attaining this for months along with your other responsibilities like corporate job, or studies if you were a fresher before landing into a top b-school. After celebrating all the happiness with family, friends, relatives, seeing that pride & satiation on your parents’ faces, after all the goodbyes, the journey begins. Right from the very first day at b-school, you face the rigour, sleepless nights, quizzes, interviews, selections. You get to introduce yourselves to the brightest minds. You see the number of competitions from different college committees, from other b-schools, from corporate world companies apart from academics. Guest lectures from the top most intellectuals from society, who speak with you like a family and help you carve out a niche for yourself as a business tycoon or a good human.
Teddy Roosevelt put it well. “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena…”
