End of D-year!

This last one year, neither did I blog, neither did I maintain my diary! I was busy 'ghissing' at ISB. I just put my head down with one goal - manage a good job - and I was bang on it.

I couldnt have asked for more. I am finishing the finest one year of my life - in terms of learning and rigour - 3rd in batch, landed with two best jobs on campus and a great life in-calling. Today, exactly a year ago, I was here at the same place, wondering if I should wait for the waitlist from Tuck/W or rush to McCombs or stay back at "will do" ISB?

One year hence and ISB is no 'will do'. Its the best thing that could have happened to me. I have no regrets of not taking up MBA @ US, not just because I did great for myself, but in the hindsight, ISB beats all my options hands down in all the parameters that were important to me - finances, faculty, placements and now - rank! ISB has created this cucoon - a home with every comfort and steep learning - a wholesome experience.

After a year of hardwork, I am wondering if ISB should have been a two year course, not for my for studies but just for the sake of my love for this place.

The same visuals of parents fluttering all around the campuses, anxious students, eager relatives and paperwork; while the only difference being the pungent feeling of nostalgia! Hola - its graduation day tomorrow :), and time to get out of the ISB Cucoon and take the life head on :(

Hindu mythology believes in a circular time line - i couldnt think of a better fit :) I am promising to myself to come back to ISB in future (even if I have a call from Harvard this time around) and be a student again!
