It was then that the mobile buzzed once again. From the notification bar it seemed like an email. With trembling fingers I opened the mail.
“Congratulations. You have been granted provisional admission to IIM Ranchi”
I jumped up from my makeshift workstation in joy. My mind went numb for a moment. I had converted my best call. I had grand thoughts of how happy or lucky I would be if I converted this call. But at the moment, I simply went numb. I did not feel a thing. Maybe it was the gloom around brought in by the pandemic that made me devoid of feeling a joyous moment like this. Or maybe it was the struggle of the past year of managing work, studies which had made me a more level-headed being. I rushed out of my room and hugged my mom. Even though I did not tell her anything, she saw me grinning from ear to ear and realised the reason for the smile. Maybe that is what makes moms special.
I had to put in my papers at work that day. The congratulatory messages from friends and colleagues were flowing in. It was time to move on to another challenge. And isn’t that why institutions like IIM Ranchi exist? To provide a new challenge, to provide better career opportunities. Despite its 11 year history, IIM Ranchi has managed to create a brand for itself, a brand that provides ample opportunities to grow your career. It is the place where thousands of dreams had been realised. It is the place that throws another gauntlet at you to see if you can come up trumps, this time in the world of management.
