The world is best viewed from the top. When you look up a mountain, nothing but the fear of failure comes into the mind. But at the top, everything seems beautiful and accomplished. Recently to me life has become something of being at the top of Mt Everest. And looking back to the course that I followed in scaling this great height, It looks nothing but amazing. I am not sure how much far fetched it might seem, but the kind of satisfaction that I had after getting final offers from both IIM A & C, can only be understood by a mountaineer. Formal MBA course at the IIMs would start at the last week of June, but I feel management education started the day I started taking the MOCK tests back in August. The pressure associated with taking tests every weekend, the fine balance that one needs to make in the CAT, the rigors of GD PIs, and finally the mental torture of waiting for the results indefinitely, makes one better prepared for a career in management.
And finally when the results are so sweet that you have the luxury in choosing between the bests, the success seems sweeter. It is for the first time in my life I am having a sweet dilemma ,the dilemma of choosing between A and C. To say the truth I am enjoying it. I am enjoying it because It is a win win situation and the difference hardly matters. And this is the reason why in spite of having enough accomplishments in my life this is being at top of the world.
People often ask me Why MBA?? Is it money or is it a natural career choice?? Only I know the actual answer, and after giving many twisted mugged answers to the interview panels I thought about the world of blogs to be the real confession box. The reason is simple: I Want to Shine, I Want to Shine Bright. Weird?? Yes weird but that is the truth. I believe I am an under achiever, be it the WBHS , WBJEE, IITJEE, or even for that matter my performances in B.TECH & M.TECH I have never performed to my true potential. This is pay back time. I want to shine being an MBA which I somehow feel I would not be able to, with a B.TECH/M.TECH.
These are the last days in Pune, trying to enjoy as much as I can and recharging my batteries to run my heart out on the last lap of my career building. All the MICHAEL JOHNSONs out there (Leading Me??) BEWARE and RUN.
