Transformation After 2 Months Of MBA - From An Early Bird To A Night Owl - SPJIMR

I still remember myself and others waiting for PG-Lab (A comprehensive course set at a hill station that helps build personal leadership and team skills through indoor and outdoor activities, psychometric tests and experiential exercises) so that we can sleep peacefully for a few days. Just the opposite happened there. The atmosphere over there was such that none of us wanted to sleep, but enjoy the activities and each other’s company.

Although it felt a bit hectic in the initial days, I have started enjoying the twists and surprises that each day brings. I have become quite flexible now with sleeping late at night, waking up early, even fully concentrating in the classes, and that too without any dose of coffee or tea (which I habitually avoid). I have also adjusted myself to the new environment and have started enjoying each moment. I consider the waking up at night as a sacrifice “Kuch paane ke liye kuch khona padta hai“. The things I have gained in 2 months are a lot of memories (and hopefully many more) which I will cherish forever.

It is not that I have completely changed. I still miss the calmness of the mornings and whenever I get a chance, I get up early and meditate!
