Yum bee aye – The new way of life!

A fresh shower of rains welcomed me into a new city, new way of life with a sprinkle of drops on my face. I rubbed my eyes which still had droplets of sleep residing in them .Even the plain water has become acidic and a ritual splash burns the eyes. After a splash or two only, I could gather my senses which deprivation of sleep has slowed down. Yes, I am in MBA world and have been inducted recently only (you can gauge that from my tone which reeks of crib).Being a part of this was the most sought-after thing for past few years and all that revolved around in my brain were tiny bits of quant formulae or abstruse words .

Now after being inducted in elite world of prospective managers, I find myself all muddled up in the tons of information, jargons and theories around. Is that what I expected from my next two years of life? If I say yes, would you all give me dirty looks on why I am in complaining mode!! Ok, Yes I had a fair idea but it is just that we choose to turn a blind eye in our case. Ignorance is bliss! No , not anymore ! Here, at every stage being the ignorant one makes you feel stupid or whether you are not worthy enough to take this prestigious seat. Oh no, I am going down the well full of such pessimistic thoughts.

Not just coping with the ever increasing heap of assignments, presentations, role plays ,pre readings, post readings is the only task that is on the top of my brain stack, but coping with new city ,new environment ,new people is the similar one.I have hardly been out of my hometown, pertaining to being the capital and almost all the things at easy disposal and not much molded to live beyond the comfort of home. Here I am ,away from the hustle bustle of Delhi to much quieter metropolitan. Things look different especially when we start comparing and comparison come running natural.Aren't we all biased about our hometown and that bliss we found there is not anywhere. But but.. isn't this biasness is not letting me welcome myself into this new city with open arms? Yes !!

Though saw some of the famous places in the city and also partied once here, there is lot more to do to fall in love with this new city ,my gonna-be home for next two years and most importantly with this new way of life.The hectic life is to be inculcated within myself to enjoy each and every moment ,to come out with a big smile be it little quiz,competition,exam or assignment deadlines ,everything! MBA is a lifetime experience and not to be downed in cribs.

Blogathon over ,what next ?

As everybody who was irritated by my every-day post is now breathing a sigh of relief for one whole month.When I thought about participating in that month long blogathon last year in June , I never assumed that it is going to be such tough for me to write everyday.Sooner than later all my creative juices just dried down and as it is advised that not much dieting is good for health ,similarly not too much blogging is good for the mental health!Generally it is advised to write one in a week.Even I have always thought the same but implementation and planning always have some gap.May be while balancing lots of other things ,I would be again as active as I was in my peak time in blogging.Time management is just creeping in my veins with only a week down in IIFT.Perhaps when I was more free than I was not able to pen down many a times.Lethargy is one big enemy.

But it was all gone when I was running in blogathon.Sometimes,I used to writing in half sleep with no time to edit ,sometimes picking up notepad with a clueless mind and end up writing what I never thought would write.Such things do come up only when you are under pressure .Though participating and completing was totally personal decision ,still a will to complete the same was one thing that kept me going even though I was much fatigued in first week end only.

Selecting different themes for the different weeks though helped me stay on the better side of the narrow line opposite which there is only one thing : quit.Writing about the street food of delhi was one thing which I incorporated.There were elements of angels and devils in my posts too with some optimism and pessimism sprinkled here and there.

So,what's next ? Now ,since my geographic location is changed(still a delhite by heart ) , I will be writing more about the new city and my experiences here.Since professional writing is also going to be part of my learning,my writing is 'expected' to be better and hopefull more mature.But these are only hopes,expectations,aspirations but to see whether it actually gets implemented that is the one thing which only future will tell.

Signing off for today :)
