It is a different kind of feeling which not many will go through. It is a kind of funny when you dont know how to feel. This is in wake of my recent trip to my old alma mater SIBM in pune on my way back to my present destination XLRI Jamshedpur.
It was not long ago that i left SIBM in search of greener pastures and here i was back in the place where i spent 1 very memorable year of my life. The time during which i revisited was very special since by then all my friends, who are my batchmates there were placed on DAY 0 in their CRP. They had such plump job and were so happy flaunting it to me. There was surprised filled in their eyes to see me appear out of no where because for many it was an unannounced visit.
Coming back to the point. The moment i went to college building, i started questioning my decision over which i have mulled countless hours and still have not been able to come up with a definative answer that will put to rest the debate about the decision i took to prolong my study period of MBA by 1 year. It is here i see that everybody who started out with me have jobs in the best of the companies, with the best of the offers and where am i?
Congradulating people on their success when you yourself are facing a problem of having to slug it out for an additional year is very difficult. I nevertheless went through the motions of congradulating everybody on their success. I am not against their success, i am plain envy of the fact that they will be completing their quota of drudgery that one needs to go through in the process of becoming a manager. Is it that i have a larger quota to fill in?
I think it is quite natural to feel envious and also for the fact that these things bring back a lot of old memories. I was reading a blog of my good friend in SIBM, where the person concerned talks about the Room - 4 in SIBM. I thought i too should contribute my part of memories of that room for it is there where i have rejoiced many success; i cracked interviews, cleared GD's, asked by professor to go and wash my face because i was sleeping like a log, shared successes and failures.
Its a room which stands testimony to the range of emotions that people in that building have been through from ages.
I must say i completely enjoyed my trip to pune even with all the above things running in my mind. It was after so many days that i met with so many of my very good friends and spent not a lot but quality time with them. I think it was a very meaningful visit which helped me refresh a lot of memories.
