This is my journey from being a call getter to the time when I leave for Indore for my admission to the IIM. It was a rollercoaster ride and surely as fun, scary, hilarious and a great teacher.

Finally the DOOR lets me IN!!!!

Hi everyone...
After a long and tense 19 days between 12th April and 1st May 2006 I got an IIM convert...
Yeah I know the coveted much awaited long elusive IIM Convert and it was as GOD would have it the Indore waitlist that cleared for moi....
I still remember that morning... I reminded my father about the date and he told me he would call up the admissions office himself. ( He I guess did not want me to hear them say i had not made it and also wanted to be the first one to hear I HAD)
When he spoke there i waitied nervously and my mom also stodd besides me. The instant the admissions department incharge said I had made it, my dad indicated with his hands that I had made it. He was so happy , Mom was so happy, I was so happy...
My brothers and friends and everyone else were so happy.............................

It all seemed worthwhile... the wait.. the pressure... it made me a stronger man... I remeber my meditation and everything else.... it was awesome to be offered an Admit to an IIM.

Parties started left right and centre and calls kept puring in.. emails kept pouring in... scraps kept pouring in.. (yes orkut ROXXX!!!!)

I felt the same .. I now gear up to face the most challenging 2 years of my life ahead and ensure tht my focus and effort gets me on top.. On top of the lot and not only for these 2 years at Planet I but for the entire career ahead.

I want to learn the ART OF LIVING from the 2 year PGP program and not only management education.

I just wanna say that in the end.............. every last step is just the beginning of another.
