From Being A Mother To Being A 'Joka-r'

Finally, I landed up in the academic block and caught up with few of my similarly excited batch mates.  These are the people who are going to be an integral part of my next one year and may be lifelong friends. Though most of us had connected long back thanks to “digital disruptions” it was finally good to be able to put faces to the names. I waited outside the PGPEX office for completing the registration process and reflected on the whole journey. There was still a disbelief in my mind that suddenly I would wake up to a different reality. The registration process was quite neat.  I got hold of my IIM- Cal backpack and name tag. The feeling of elation started to sink in. This is not an amazing dream. I am here, IIM-Cal PGPEX student, a Jokar ready to have an experience of a lifetime.

P.S: I finally met our resident Monitor “Monty” Lizard on 25th Apr and hence officially qualified as a Jokar. J. Also, now I have realised body clock is a misnomer, especially for a b-school student. You can actually survive days without any sleep.
