Finally, I joined college on the 17th of July. Posed with the challenge of adjusting to a completely new environment and daunting class schedules, I initially found it intimidating to cope-up with the curriculum. But, as time passed, I understood that I couldn't live without writing. Writing had become an inseparable part of my soul; I acknowledged that fact and decided to find time to write. While working on one of the poems, I wrote a couple of lines in between two lectures, added to it while walking back to the hostel, and completed it while I was in an elevator. For me, the continuous work without wasting time became the key to writing. This ability wasn't entirely new to me; I had done this previously while preparing for CAT and other exams. Finding rhymes and scripts had been a proven stress-buster for me, and at DMS, it is no different. MBA life is full of deadlines, assignment pressure, but with a pen in hand and a pair of rhymes in mind, I look at stress differently. DMS, being a part of IIT-Delhi, has also given me access to clubs like the Hindi-Samiti. The icing on the cake was when I was selected in Media and PR Cell and became the content writer for the committee. Since then, contributing to the committee has been a delight. As they say, do what you love and you'll never work another day in your life.
Having spent about three months at DMS, IIT Delhi, my search for rhymes goes up a notch with each passing day. Looking in the past and predicting the future, I can say with certainty that the null hypothesis of MBAs losing out on their passion is false; at least in my case.
