Cultural activities and organizing fests are some of the few things that not only you can enjoy and will help you work in a team but also learn a lot as well. For instance, approaching a company for sponsorship teaches you a lot about sales and improving your negotiation skills. Cultural committees allow you to rediscover your inner talent and showcase them to the world. Regular presentations allow you to shed your inhibitions and speak up confidently.
And XIMB provides everything to you, a world in itself to rediscover yourself. The MBA rigour might be tough, but as the saying goes “If you believe in something, work nights and weekends and it won’t feel like work”.
So enjoy the overall ride rather than worrying about the destination.
MBA to many may be about getting a bigger job, wearing a suit and getting into the corporate life, but if you dig deeper, there’s so much into it that even two years won’t be enough to savour it. So, don’t just chase the destination. Enjoy the journey ‘cause sometimes, the journey teaches you a lot about your destination; more than you ever knew in the first place.
The brightest example? Right on your TV sets as you watch a cricket match, Harsha Bhogle- an IIM-A Alumnus.
