Diversity runs at every nook and corner of this batch of PGP18 participants. From varying backgrounds, states and a healthy mix of gender, IIM Shillong has it all. MBA is an experience which most of us are getting to grasp. However at the heart of it lies music, the language that has time and again united us at our best and not so best times at this place. There's some music for every moment. To commemorate everyday wins, to forget the everyday failures, to live, music has become the fallback to everything around at IIM Shillong. From the Punjabi beats of “Tare Gin Gin” to Alan Walker’s EDM beats of “Faded”, from regional songs to the ones that unite us all, participants find the best way to bond because of music.
The class of 2020 features a wide array of musicians ranging from experienced tabla players, melodious singers, trained classical vocalists, multi-instrumentalists and a voracious beatboxer. Diversity runs even here as the opportunity to mix and match genres and interests leads to tasty fusions. The cultural committee deserves a special mention to allow our budding musicians to rekindle with their passions and bring it to the stage by providing them with the opportunity, equipment and an audience.
There's still another year and a half that is to be spent at this beautiful place. There's so much to learn, so much to discover, so much to celebrate and so much to sing. Music will be the only thing that remains constant in what is a constantly changing and dynamic experience.
