It has been almost 6 months since we finished PGPX and it already seems like a distant dream - a great one at that. Sitting alone in the middle of the night, I am having this strong urge to ponder over that year so well spent.The welcome dinner, the barrage of classes and quizzes in the first two terms, midnight football, end-terms, t-nite, Dasada, IIP, placement season, convocation - everything seems like a dream that got over so very fast.
I still remember how eager I was to get into IIMA and then once I got through how confused I was to take the plunge. At some point, I even had the feeling that most of my questions about what I myself wanted in life and career would be answered during that one year. And when I look back now, how wrong I was. If at all, it gave us so many opportunities, so many choices and that much more confusion to add to life. Reality sucks! But given a choice, I would still go back and spend a year at that great place. Personally, learning to use a bit of right brain, great lifelong (hopefully) friends, a barrage of management jargon and the brand are probably my takeaways.
