So I was really clueless of my future, I knew I had substantial talent and potential but it was not channelised.
What popped up in hue and cry was an MBA which was always a flocking response to a better future. And there I decided to go with the crowd when my heart was all burnt with the rejections which I had so far faced in government jobs.
CP became the new hub point for me for the next 8 months. Wrecked building with uncountable aspirants and innumerable hopes floating in the stale air of fragmentation and competition.
Quant, LR-DI and VARC became the three meals to digest while mocks became the dessert which I could not take in.
The Screen showed a 96.xx, which was very decent enough to bag but I was pretty much unaware of the rationale GEM. Amidst the wave of celebration, the reality of despair struck.
The result became meaningless when I received no calls. Withered with dissatisfaction I realised the disparity of being vulnerable to MBA as it considers all your past karmas of academics. Also within my head, It struck me the crowd which I was going to be a part of... Ultra cream
Shall I Quit?
NO!- said I
Already into my job now, I was not content of myself and still it hitched me up and daunted every day.
Every day a new RC, every day a new chapter, every day a new LR problem, The anxiety remained constant. But I decided not to break in and will definitely make it since I was doing the right thing- Being very selfish about the future.
Parties on Saturdays, excursion on Sundays were the sacrifices I had made in the last 2 years and my karma will decide this time to overcome every hurdle.
Came next year, an ode to the sleepless nights, innumerable notions were broken and I cleared IIFT with golden percentile. CAT was still very decent. I received multiple calls even from Top old IIMs.
But does the rat race end here...NO
It begins here the journey to the WAT-PI rounds and then the big learning curve of 2 years.
Corporate to college is what I was not trained of though. :)
So I broke the barrier since he decided not to Quit
This story has a lot of chapters in it but I am still unaware of ending as this "I" in every person and hence decided to write.
Just never Quit!!
All the best!!
