August, 2012
That was the last week in India. I was kind of running around
for visa, last minute shopping and loads of farewells. People are getting
little emotional while few people are envying. Not to say that I was little discontent leaving the comfort
zone yet I have a profound dream and clear ambition in life. I guess this is
one big chance to prove my stance and my talent.Probably a pass for new life too.
After a heavy emotional farewell, I was finally aboard. It
felt so rosy and so peaceful. Serene it was. I was just that utter magical
silence. No love. No hard friendships. No hauntings and no spying. Just no
relations. This time I could feel old me and purest form of me. Heart clearly
instructing on the ambition and mind totally focused. 8 hours of journey also
did not tire me. Probably at that time I haven’t had any idea what is ahead me
in few hours.
Dutcheland : Land of beauty and city of my dreams, Could not
think anything except jaw-dropping at the sky scrapers. They looked promised too in hiring me in few months. Well.. That was not a hell lot of a dream but I wish it is the
nearest reality.
Single girl...60 kgs luggage... new city and the language as the main barrier; took an elaborate 3 hours to find my house and
settle.
Then the reality struck. Dreams lightly got shaded and needs
are craving to be fulfilled. After a 5 days of not so easy struggle, finally
found an Indian couple on one of the shuttling trains I take to university who
readily help me with rest of things.
Day one in the university: 200+ students … average GMAT
score 670... Students from 57 different nations on a single platform and
realising how special we are to be admitted – just an awesome feeling. Coping
up with the best has now become one of the KRA’s as my track record helped me
waive off my masters Prep semester (A semester which has to be taken by people
with GMAT below the average and also for students with non-business background).
I guess my stars are really bright and I was one of those 3 students who won
the scholarship for the semester.
After a series of episodes, I finally managed to settle
great with all formalities in place. Excellent infrastructure and superb global
exposure and most importantly a great place to be.
Sessions began and I get to know few Indians are around the
campus and I hurried to catch up with them and I get to know everyone lives in my
student hostel only … And amazing part is they r the students of IIM –A, B, C .
Few students from NUS and AIM . I could feel the pride running in my limbs
saying that I share a classroom with the best Indian managers.
This is a place where you are valued special for what you
are ; probably more than the dad’s princess
and the king’s queen. Over all… I am loving it… nice people, new life and new stories and new world.
Probably one of the best places where you can see the sun set and fog fall on the river Rhine and a clear peace of no guilt living! I miss no one and I wish to have not many too.
Await the next post.. Am on a roll to tour around the Europe :D
cool babe
