It came quickly, the end.
The photo-shoot. The solemn procession. Dr CK Prahalad’s words echoing “You would be judged by your actions, not by mere words”.The pack-up. The final glance at C-19 (wry smile). The hurried goodbyes.
Did I feel sad, ever? Not when saying goodbye to friends. Nor leaving my room. Strangely yes, a sob when I said goodbye to the canteen staff. Wonder why. Because the canteen’s been the scene of gossip, triumphs, Bday bashes, delightful promise of plain Maggi? Or the thought of the loss faced by one of the staff in distant Nepal? Ah well.
March 22 2008. An IIM Kozhikode Alumnus.
Yearbook filling, senti-songs like “Ye dosti hum nahi chodenge” being spammed on the internal messenger.. you realise you have only a month of college life left..
You realise it when you see the sun setting, each evening different from the other.. You realise it when you take in a deep breathe once class is done.. Feeling the wind blow gently, caressing you, whispering gently… All is quiet and you feel your heart beating lightly..
IIM K PGP10, will miss you so … your quirkiness, each one of you so special, so different.. the diversity in talent is amazing and humbling.. the lessons learnt from you, immeasurable..
” Kuch aisa karke dikha, khudh khush ho jaaye Khuda…Aashaen khile dil ki, ummeeden hasen dil ki, abh mushkil nahi kuch bhi, nahi kuch bhi…”
My 1st face-to-face encounter with an avid blogger? Sometime in 2005, when my colleague at Wipro surreptitiously shared her blog with me- considering all that hype-hoopla of the IBM-IIPM controversy that time. My opinion on the medium then -
“Blogging? A waste of time! Blogging? Revealing your innermost thoughts and releasing your pent up emotions in public domain. Blogging? Dangerous medium-could get ya fired!Blogging and me? Naah!”
Well let’s say B-school transforms your opinions about “stuff”. Helps that everyone must have AND express opinions on everything and anything. Part of being clever, erudite. Besides the aforementioned pejorative pointers, one discovers the other side of the medium - Business blogging, arranging thoughts bla bla bla..Got me thinking - “Hey, not a bad idea after all!” Besides, what-a-way to start spanking New Year!
Many begin their Blogo-land adventures in the sunrise of their B-school journey. Mine would be at sunset - Mohatarma would be graduating in Spring’08 from the “haloed” portals of IIM Kozhikode. So is this yet another B-school blog?”Postmortem analysis-aa”? Nopses. This shall be just-another-blog-in-a-million-drops-of-blogocean filled with the random observations, thoughts of a dreamy Piscean!
So here goes post 1! <trumpet trumpet>
