Hi,

A year has passed , this time last year we were on the other side , anxious , worried tensed ,optimistic and with a whole lot of emotions ... Time seems to have flown , it seemed just like yesterday , when I used to have my doubts clarified , receive encouragements support from the two stalwarts of GIM srini and saurav ...There were other people also .. girish khara ... inder paaji .. being few of them ....

It was a feeling of nostalgia .. seeing people asking us about GIM , asking the very same questions that we were asking last year ... same worries , same apprehension.. same excitement ...

Time really flies in a bschool ... no wonder we end up working late nights before submission deadline and procastrinate otherwise;)

Life at a bschool has learning in it for everyone .. it teaches us a lot many things ... forget academics for a moment or rather for this post there is so much to learn from peers , so much to learn from the dedication of guys who were underdogs all through out and just rocked teh placements ...

so many stories .. so many books to read in the library ... so so amny things to do that it sometimes makes me really worried .. and I end up in a quandary .. from where do I stand my placement preparation...

I spent some time talking to seniors regarding my fear of finance ... and it seemed that even they felt the way I do now ... But still that didnt encourage me somehow to take finance next year ...

as of now I am in a limbo .. marketing it is ... but minors as systems ....

looks like I have a fair bit of research to do ...


will bore more

p.s the second guy from GIM is about to be certified now

A Diary of a Schooler !

June 30' 2005

The day which is still loud and clear in my mind. Flew from Kolkata to Goa via Bangalore. A bad weather welcomed me in Goa and the aircraft made landing amidst strong headwinds and pouring water on a drenched slippery runway. Took me around 5 minutes to realise that Dabolim Airport and Goa Airport is one and the same thing. And then a cab to Ribandar.. It was lush green and the 34 Km drive passed in anxiety with numerous calls to family, friends and of course admissions office as it was already 5 Pm.

Met Jenifer at Admissions and boy, she was so helpful. Then off to Prof Madan (Hostel Warden) to get myself a room allotted. And Guess what, was one of those 10 privileged guys who got to stay in the Girls' Hostel for a year. Before i could grab the keys and settle in the room, dad called up to take the address to mail me something and there went the address on the phone. LH - 97, Goa Institute of Management, Ribandar, Goa - 403 006 with LH expanding to Ladies Hostel.. And the momentary shock came to me, when he asked me, "What does LH expand to ?" And i replied with precision, Left Hand Wing of the College.. When i realised that i said this, i knew it was a making of an MBA...

Poor Dad ! Till today he calls it Left Hand Wing of the College !

September 16' 2006

Term I had come to an end the previous night and was scheduled to fly to Cal via Mumbai. Had a sleepless night with the campus being virtually empty as most of the mates left on 15th nite itself. Reflecting back that day, I could see a different saurav. Someone who had changed a lot.. Hopefully for Good.. The Guy who has always been to bed at 2200 Hrs had caught a nack of going to bed not before 0300 Hrs in the morning... Someone, who feared making presentations before an audience was damn neat at it by that time.. Some one who needed atleast 7 hours of sleep a day was damn happy with a 3 hour grabbie.. And most important of all, some one who has always been a 80 % or plus till bachelors was so damn satisfied with a 5 pointer...

December 17' 2005

And with 10 more weeks, came another term to an end.. Placements were on and the feeling in the campus was different. Even the trees and the walls gave a new look and seemed that they had risen to the occasion. The previous day got summers in Tata VSNL, Mumbai in Corporate Finance.. And before i could feel happy about getting the summers in the area i wanted, i had to leave for my hometown due to the sudden unexpected demise of grandma.. That 7 hour flight to Bagdogra from Goa with transits at Mumbai and Kolkata was killing and mentally tiring..

March 24' 2006

And the first year at GIM came to an end.. Saw the seniors graduating and leaving the campus in tears.. Could feel their heart as almost half of my life has been in Hostels.. But by this time had made my debut on PG and it opened a new world to me.. Talking to puys across and the country and trying to help them out... There were times when lost my temper on some of them but by this time had made quite a good frens on PG which included some of the big names of current times like Shailesh, Monil, Gulshan, Sumitro, Abhishek and Sonia..

By now, the GD PI sessions for juniors were over and the final results came out 20 minutes before i was to leave for Kolkata on this very day.. And i told, be ready to welcome a new set of intellectuals on the campus after summers..

June 17' 2006

Back at GIM after three months.. But all looked the very same.. Just that there were tons of new faces all around the corner and the so called Introductory sessions of Juniors (hate to call them juniors though) was on.. My Summers had been quite an eventful one and there was so so much to cherish.. At the end of it, i knew that i had met my own expectations or may be even surpassed it by a decent Margin.. The best part was that i made a good no. of pals out there and we are still in touch..

And very sooner, i got a pre placement offer from them. Before i could feel happy about the same, was badly spanked on campus and then I realised.. If at all you have to feel happy at GIM or a great news breaks out, your bums have to pay for it !

September 10' 2006

The most eventful term for me on campus.. My most dedicated time on campus.. Not towards the academic courses though.. Was the Student Coordinator for the national level logistics Conference named Conferencia Logistica organised by Goa Institute of Management at one of the five star properties in Goa and the same was attended by corporates of the highest stature with the likes of Mr. Douglas Bailie, CEO, Hindustan Level Ltd. & The Group Vice-President of Unilever Companies in South Asia and Mr. V Thulasidas, CMD, Air India. This term went in a zippy and gave me the most comfortable times of my stay at GIM. The best part was the synergy between the two batches and the kind of holy atmosphere it created on campus.

And before the term could end, I earned myself a ticket to Belgium for the next three months along with two more mates and boy it was a different world..

December 25' 2006

The Exchange Programme was all over and me back on campus.. The Placements for my batch was over and out as well with everyone selling themselves to high end Cos for a premium and grabbing profiles of hot tins. And seemed that the Doctor has ordered for parties for us in this term. They seem to be never ending.. Anyways with Goan Beaches and the kind of accessories available should not parties be a daily affair at GIM !

January 12' 2007

And thats it ! Have reached a place from where its really difficult to think about leaving the campus.. June 30' 2005 looks as if it was just yesterday. GIM gave tons to me whilst my 2 year of stay but looks like now it will take more than a ton when i graduate and bid my bye to the campus..

The serenity of the campus, the 300 Plus year old Buildings and the aroma will keep reminding me of this place in the decades to come.. If at all, i could express my feelings for the same..

For the time being, I stand and Salute the campus.. Its not what it takes to be here, but what it takes not to be here..

Guess, this remains the longest post of mine on PG and will continue to remain so.. Wishing all the very best to the set of new intellectuals of GIM. Its worth staying here.. Do enjoy the place and on a lighter note feel miserable when you leave..

The day which is still loud and clear in my mind. Flew from Kolkata to Goa via Bangalore. A bad weather welcomed me in Goa and the aircraft made landing amidst strong headwinds and pouring water on a drenched slippery runway. Took me around 5 minutes to realise that Dabolim Airport and Goa Airport is one and the same thing.

i told u na fatso...dat u can be a nice writer..u never agreed...newaz lemme wat u hav written ur writeup on ur entry into GIM reminds me of 'rockford'...n about srk's entry in K3G..n anupam kher's ddlj walah scene..n preity zinta's 'kya kehna' wala thng..deres so much to pick up frm bollywood.. n hona bhi chahiye.. u r a star..

Great post .... I have selected some sentences from the post ,which have a lot of meaning ....I know what the applicants would be worried of , after reading through the post ... Not everyone sleeps for 3 hours .. there are people who sleep a full 8 hrs .. I am at a comfortable 6.5 hrs :)...

Yes MBA Is an enriching experience , provided you interact a lot with your peers , your personality develops by leaps and bounds .

Will write about my life @ gim next year nearly the same time ... and trust me .. its going to be a really long post ...

Saurav Paaji..

Gr8 post yaar..Its only been a lil over Six months in GIM and boy does this place hypnotizes you..i can pretty well understand what saurav and other seniors would be experiencing nowadays..

ITS JUST DAMN DIFFICULT TO LEAVE GIM...

You connect to it at different levels..Then you hav ur batchmates ,all different from different parts of the country..and yet we come so close..The Breakfasts and lunches at JOES or CASA..Then those Wonderful evenings at Genes...Life does not stops being exciting here..

The Group assignments..the Library visits..Night 2 o clock and bakar in front of canteen..no traces of sleep and still energetic..

All the festivals you could think of are all celebrated with gr8 enjoyment..Id,Diwali,Lohri,Durga Pooja,Saraswati Pooja,Christmas..Things like Religion just disappear here..

Mandovi just in front of college..The peace of mind is all the time provided to you without any expectations..

SO much happening yet so much serenity..i can bet my life on this no other Bschool can provide this...

GIM has already made a very big and special place in my heart and i am happy that another gr8 and gud year is waiting for me here..

I wud nt want to leave GIM ..but i have to lik others..But I will Keep coming back to MY GIM...

Three Cheers To GIM..

Naah Mahip Bhai ! Never.. Just that i took the names of the pals whom i interacted with when i was nascent on PG..

But on a serious note, i must append to the list. These are the people whom i met when i was little old on PG but then they have been a good source of inspiration and energy for me..

The list goes like this - Rohit from PG HQ, Mahip and Sachin from PG Police (Choose to call this today), Paras, Pallavi and the list goes on...

But the old puys will always have a special place !

Hope no one is offended at the end of the day ! Ku Mahip bhai, mere next Bday par mere liye card banaoge na.. Please ! 😞

Arre do not talk about puys like these.. Nothing stole him.. He only went.. And the moment he took that decision, he was pick pocketed at Howrah Station. And now he says he misses Goa.. Then why did he leave ! Who asked him ??? Koi jawab hai iska ! :(

Kyun Sumitro dada ! Sahi bola na..

Keep rocking ! We puys at GIM do wish you a happy and fantabulous time ahead ! Rock On !

oye saurav paaji,

tussi to naraz ho gaye apne bhai pe .....actually to put a few facts in order, i was indeed pick-pocketed at howrah station but that was when i reached there for my gd/pi (just 2 days after the GIM gd/pi at goa)......maybe it wuz god's signal that kgp ain't a lucky place for me but fate landed me here, now lets see where i land up from here.....but yes, for me saurav was (and will always be) a driving force during those days on pg and one of the main reasons why am so active today in helping out aspirants.......way to go saurav (hope dat's sufficient makkhan-maalish for now dada )

@ maverick_rahul :

i remember very well buddy, all our discussions....too bad i cudn't make it.......doing fine here at kgp......will surely come soon, at least before you guys pass out (i made the same promise to saurav, i know he's gonna kill me for this )


keep rocking, all you puys at GIM

cheers
