Been thinking of posting since quite sometime and this is when i get to do it!!!!With the lovely rains i felt that this was the perfect time for a night out(it is a different issue that i have quite a bit of work to do).It has been raining here for the last 24hours.Adding to all this is the chota mota parties taking place.

The last few days at the school after getting placed is a feeling that lotsa bschoolers love.It is the best time to catch up with the pile of movies on the server, see the city, eat out half the time.......But then absolute reality(one that is not in the head) is something that one can never get rid of.So the assignments and the exams continue.

There is a feeling of nostalgia among all of us.In that sense lemme put down a few more things that ive seen or learnt here(no particular order)

1. Guys go around wearing full hand shirts and shorts!!!!!
2. People live and die by deadlines(literally)
3. You learn to sleep or stay awake any point of time.You learn to manage without sleep for coupla days.You are a survivor.
4. An opportunity cost is created which makes people less courageous.An organization is your best shield when you make mistakes!!!!When you are on your own, you take it all home.
5. Lotsa things are done for CV value.Sad but true/Sad and true/true but sad?? ...well,the opinion is yours and it doesnt matter!!!!
6. Also,leaders and men of conviction are shaped here.You learn the importance of action and not reaction.You learn to appreciate the finer details(my learning on this aspect will not end).If you are wondering then yes,4 can exist with 6.
7. You stop being a dreamer and start becoming a wisher
8. You start using jargon and euphemisms.When a bschooler says point taken,it prolly means point taken and thrown away......
9. While management means to simplify things, you do the exact opposite(the reasons are many)
10. You know yourself much much better.The biggest takeaway are not the acads(the distance between acads and practicality gets even more obvious) nor the fat paychecks.It is the set of interactions that will help you in the long run.
