was that just a Maiden Month ??

23rd June 2012 - Entry to IMNU(Institute of management , Nirma University)

Felt like entering Splits-Villa !! Jab paisa bolta hai, to niyate badalti hai (when money speaks, intention changes) :-)

Being a student of government engineering college(kgec). It looked like a college "Joki filmo me hota hai"(which are only in films). I can recapitulate the college in the movie "kuch kuch hota hai"(something something happening - a Hindi movie) :-)

Beautiful-lush green campus, having both kinds of greenery :-P . That too in plenty.

Having worked for almost two years at chennai. Is it a reality that 'i am into a college' – ‘my MBA college’ for two full years

OR

 is it a fairyland, which i landed fortunately !! ), 

Don't know why people call Gujarat a dry state?? Go to chennai, if you really want to observe the dryness in all respect. Ahmedabad is really cool. Specially my IMNU - adding 'my' before IMNU is a dandy feeling.

Also, as it is a ladder to my future dreams. So can’t take this golden opportunity of life and time spend over here lightly and hence started my day keeping in mind the theory of "sab moh maaya hai"(everything comes into the category of hedonism). :-)

This reminded me of a practical line written to me in one of those childhood love-letters that '"love" is like a china-dish, once broken can't be mended. If mended, crack remains'.

And i have a dream, which i "love" like anything. Friends sometimes say that what kind of guy is this, who loves someTHING, rather than someONE. When there is a lot of greenery which you can take as an opportunity, without any Opportunity-Cost.

I don’t say, but want to say that, i too have that someONE in my life, whom i "love" like anything(will reveal by the end of this blog). But runner-up to that is my dreams, to which i had found a ladder(IMNU :-)).

Switching from 'Love' and coming to 'War'.

Its good that only Frontal attack is happening as if now. Otherwise, if it would have been Flank or Guerilla warfare. Then we would have been demolished.

Demolished... Naah... We are future managers.

Its simple… find a solution or an alternative.

i.e. we would have applied Preemptive techniques.

Waise bhi (although) most of us are not from Ahmedabad. So, college got an opportunity of being  a perfect Nicher and making the best use of home-ground :-) )

To be precise: Whether its the first class, or the last one which i attended. I found one similarity,  people might have pointed out -> Rules were strict(which i found cute :-) , as discipline is what i have always respected). It was good to see that rules were followed by both ‘us’ and ‘professors’.

Punctuality, Timely follow up of course schedule(by hook or crook :-P) and ban on ragging. Seniors could be so cool and loving, i had never imagined. It feels like everyone knows here each other from long time(doesn't matter , we met first time or everyday).

Hectic -> Hectic -> Hectic

It wasn't "Why this Kolaveri D ?"

rather , literally it was "Why this Kolaveri D ?"

(Why are you killing me)

Paraphrasing the same "Why this 24 Hours a D(day)?"

It reminds me of a dialog of 3-idiots => Life is a race, if you dont run fast someone will squeeze you and move ahead. Even a single sperm had to defeat 3 million other sperms go get a life.

2 years back, we enjoyed this dialog. Now facing a similar situation(Although, all those whomsoever i have interacted are really sweet over here…specially the girls :-P). But it’s quite natural that when it comes to work, everyone needs to give the best out of them)

jo bhi ho (whatever), its good that time cannot be purchased. Everyone is having it in equal amount(i.e. ONLY 24 hours a day). It depends on individuals to make the best use of it.

Lots of ‘Happenings’ which were/are so frequent that only today i got time to jot down something really hectic but interesting(and i am loving it. Yooo !! “Torcher me as much as u can. I will not give up.” :-)). If one gets time to think upon it, he/she can understand that they are doing these for our benefit only. Hence, making us strong and impregnable to tough challenges which life will put before us in future.

Elaborating the term ‘Happenings’:

1) Pre-reads

A must. Most of the time is consumed/utilized doing same. Don't know how people having girlfriend/boyfriend get time for the same. May be the case that the counter act as a motivator. :-P

2) Surprise quizzes

Some of them really surprised us(rather "surprised me", not in a position to generalize the term. As toppers might find it offensive :-P)

Further, quick assessment which was followed by public-praise/public-insult by posting the marks outside class(that too on notice board or through group mail).

3) Interviews of club and committees

Applied for so many(almost all in the beginning). As was not sure, how deep my legs are in the water. But later due to time-constraint prioritized my wants. This resulted in getting through Placement Committee at the end.

4) Events organized by clubs and committees

Never got this much exposure in life (or may be was concentrated on someone/something else :-|. Whatever !! Life is all about experiences, "take it" and in future "make it"(make the best out of it)). I was so excited to get into everything. Try, perform, participate and win(as if Victor Vroom’s Expectancy theory of Motivation was being followed). But again, time-constraint(that is one thing, we the future managers need to manage :-)). Treasure hunt, Cherkhaani- A nautanki , Quizilla, Brandwizer etc.

Won "Brandwizer - A Marketing competition" (was happy that day, but was expecting Maslow's Esteem need to be fulfilled, rather than Physiological need, that too is pending till Ranbhoomi - an event :-P ).

5) Saral

Dekho inhe ye osee ki boonde.(see them, droplets of fog). Just Literal meaning, actual one need not be explained. :-)

Although, it feels good to be a part of it. But i feel like i am also a kid , may be because "Dil to baccha hai ji"(Heart is a kid)

6) Fresher’s party

It was a mood-healer, a power-booster , a refresher. Dance, Party, Food- although vegetarian. But I am a vegetarian u know(since the day mentioned on the very first line of this blog ).

Ramp show was organized. Got selected for the 2^nd/final round – A feel good.
Came back to hostel walking in group, singing all kinds of song. 

7) Etc

As something need to be pending for next blog - A Folklore

There are so many stuffs, what to write, what to skip - A Fact

Finally came the season of Mid-term exams.

What season?? Came and gone as a whiff of fresh air.

After coming from the exam hall

Saw 'sad faces' in numerical based subjects.

Saw 'happy faces' in theoretical subjects. As if they would speak out any time "maine to paper par apne thoughts ki expressions macho di hai"(i have given perfect expression to my thoughts into the paper)

The first one month at IMNU brought so much in our lives. Feels like it wasn't just a month. Rather an immeasurable time which gave a lifetime time-stamp on our hearts. In 'very brief', this is what/how the first month @ IMNU was !!

Aaahhhh...  you might be waiting for that 'someONE' as mentioned in the end of first paragraph. That someONE are my parents :-)
