Last Few Days In Campus..

And that means it's the last post from the campus. Can't really believe it's all over so fast. I was told by many that the academic learning from a B-school is the best part, but I now believe that the whole experience is what we take home.

I guess the magnitude of leaving this wonder of a place will hit hard when I wake up few days from now to hear no music or hostel-ruffles. Or when I wake up someday a year later to see only deadlines and targets to meet. Or when I'm forced to follow a clockwork sleep-and-wake-up routine. Or when there aren't any late night maggi or ‘chai’(i will miss the most) or movies to look forward to. For now though, I'm kind of glad it hasn't really set in, coz I know its going to be painful.

It’s that time in life when you don’t want something to happen, but know real well that it’s going to. Yes, at long last, I’ve decided against prolonging the ‘parting’ post.With just few more days to go, the mood is all set for departure from the campus. All classes, exams, parties, last minute games, eat-outs, movie outings, digital collections and group outings are over. For the ones who have got the placement , there isn’t even a placement process to look forward to..Lol...It’s like a double edged sword. For people who are participating in the placements, the ‘departure’ feelings are subdued with the expectations of how they are going to fare in the process. For the rest who don’t have the burden of mulling over what companies to apply to and what not to, the fact that life in the campus is over looms hard.

For me though, it’s been a mixture of feelings. I wonder why I really have been significantly impacted by the prospect of leaving. May be because of friends, or was it something else? I myself don’t know..., but what is true is that it’s been a terrific fun-filled ride throughout, with arguably some of the smartest people. And I’m so glad I went through this. [But yes, almost everyone in a similar situation says such stuff. So, what the heck? I’ll stop right here. I’d probably devote a separate post to what my initial expectations from a B-school were and how much I’ve been satisfied.]
