And then comes the best part, you get to go to a trek while attending a lecture – yes, for all the avid travellers round here- Trekking is in the sustainability curriculum, you get attendance marks for travelling around this beautiful adobe. The closer you are to nature, the more you delve into yourself. In last 15 days, I have learnt and embodied so much of this Ecosystem, that it is difficult to imagine that I was never a part of it. The course varies with Human endeavouring sciences to Market sciences to few gruesome numbers (Engineering vs Accounting- the famous conundrum).
I have always been worried that I will be moulded into certain shapes that I am expected to hold, but the freedom of mind that Shillong aspires to achieve, lets you indulge in the variety of courses and shape your own interests. With no background to economics and other financial sciences, I felt awkward entering like a novice into the hall, but facilitators wish for a clean slate to let us draw entirely new colourful world on-board in their curriculum. I have a lot to explore, a lot more life-altering decisions to make. But, I feel grateful to have come across such an opportunity to indulge, invent and inculcate a new me altogether among beautiful surroundings.
I hope I move out of this campus all happy, content and with Aditya Birla Asset Management’s placement in hand maybe (greed is good too sometimes), as This is an esteemed establishment with intellect and technology-rich environment, consistently gaining market share and has reached to 11% of the mutual fund market managing, with growing share in Equity Mutual Fund Segment.
