Often it takes a kick in the ass to shake someone up. What if it is kicks,50 odd, literally. I entered the grihasta asharama and bid adieu to the formiddable and probably the most exciting quarter of my life. In the process quite a few chappals, feet and palms registered their mighty presence on my butt. The atmosphere was similar to that of B.Tech days probably better. And everyone, I am sure, enjoyed making scapegoats out of the latecomers to the party as they too bore the wrath / frustation / release after a hectic summer placement schedule. Its good to see people joining you in the celebration and makes your life seem meaningful and worth living. At the same time I again questioned myself as I do on my birthday.Why should I celebrate my birthday? Whats so great about it? What have I done for the world that is today rejoicing on my birthday? 25 yrs and I have been able to do just enough to fill up just one side of A4 sized paper.
The questions were all the more pinching as I had just returned from a discussion about entrepreneurship conducted by Subroto Bagchi, COO Mindtree. The videos of interviews of V.G. Siddhartha, Founder Cafe Coffee Day and Capt. Gopinath, Founder Air Deccan were still echoing in my head. They made revolutions they made seem so simple to achieve. Inspiring as they were most striking feature was the passion they had for their mission and their unassuming demeanour. As I walked out of the cozy audi at the Welingkar's my heart was still scanning for the omnipresent beautiful damsels in the campus, the mind was still with the videos and the personalities that I had just witnessed so closely.
Welingker is indeed a place to be. With beautiful cyber squatters in the literal sense (there were people with laptops squatting on the floor busy orkutting and checking mails) all round it seems all to irrestible to spend last two academic years of one's life. I am sure it proves a great release for all the frustated souls who come to do MBA. Also its not difficult keep yourself motivated to attend all the no longer tasteess lectures.
