My Life in 2010

Hi friends, this is my first blog and I am going to tell you about my life in 2010.

Well, in January of the year 2010, I was a Software Engineer, working for a software giant Infosys in Bangalore. Yes, I lived in Bangalore with my family.
I was appearing for these various management entrance exams, and January was the month of application-filling. It was on March 8, that the most awaited result was to be announced, of a college i had hoped so badly, to get admission into. The result came out good and I was offered admission to Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai for their PGPM program (read MBA). The very next day, I put in my papers in my company and 15th April was my last day in Infy. The first half of April was full of nostalgia and walking down the memory lane, and the latter half was full of excitement, anxiety, a little bit of fear, but happiness. It wasn't easy to leave behind what you had lived in the past 3 years, my family, my friends, Infosys, Bangalore, and everything I was connected to. But, as I had always wished, I WAS GOING FOR MY MBA, FINALLY!!!!

And here I land on 25th April at the Great Lakes Institute of Management in Chennai. The first few days went by meeting new people, networking, knowing your peers. Slowly, and steadily we made new friends, got adjusted to the new system. And then started the grill. Classes, and more classes, and assignments, pre-reads, case studies, presentations, study groups, and mid term exams, end term exams...oh man!! There were people whom you liked, and there were those you couldn't stand. Some were helpful and friendly, while some so mean and arrogant. I wouldn't lie when I say that there were a few moments when I wished I could go back to my city and my work, but fortunately, I met some beautiful people too... and the one with whom I gelled so well was (is) Tripti. Thanks sweety for being such an adorable friend. As months started to pass by, we got a little more comfortable and adjusted to the system. Manashi joined the group and with my two best buddies, the place started to feel a little warm.

Well, now its October, my 6th month here, and 4th term out of 7, and I am enjoying my MBA. Its hardwork, but a lot of fun too. The assignments, classes and quizzes are still as hectic as before, but you just get used-to to the grill. The campus feels like a second home now, and everyone is connected to each other. Placements are round the corner, and so are the festivals. I am sure, this place is gonna get better and better as the days pass by, and everyone is going to have so much fun during the festivals.
