Being Average - Story of a SJMSOM, IIT Bombay Student

Being Average - Story of a SJMSOM, IIT Bombay Student

I remember an instance during an interview when I was asked that what the defining moment of my life was. I was caught off-guard. Not because I didn’t have an answer to that question. The reason why I was stumped by the question was that I knew I had no such ‘defining moment’, what I didn’t know was how to reply back. After several awkward moments of silence and stares, I managed, “No. I can’t think of anything right now, Sir”. The disappointment on his face showed. Supposedly, such an answer was not commonplace as the interviewer told me that I should have prepared better, and I should know myself better. With a restrained smile I answered, “Sir, I do know what I’m talking about. It isn’t such, that every action I took in my past was guided by motivation. Even so, if you want, then for the sake of answering, I can concoct a story about the same, but it wouldn’t be true”. My interview was over shortly thereafter, and it goes unsaid that I wasn't selected.

Destination to a Dream Journey - DMS, IIT Delhi

“Next destination – DMS IIT Delhi”, was the end note in the farewell mail that I wrote to my colleagues at work in June 2013. And today, I have only a few more months left to spend at DMS. Looking back I realize that DMS wasn’t just a destination, but it was a jam packed journey altogether. A journey that led me to stretch, test and push my limits, gather a vast amount of experience and obtain a fresh perspective on life.
