THE MONTH THAT WAS…

You must be wondering, it’s been a long time nikhil hasn’t posted anything. Yeah I was kind of busy all this month with a lot of activities. So you must be thinking  what is he up to now, well this time its all me, the next few minutes you will read will tell you what I had been up to all this month… thanks to the blog whose inspired me to go this way.

Well, 1^st month of the year often decides how the whole year turns out to be, I hope it doesn’t. It’s been extra dramatic. I’ve probably never been so haphazard, but some situations that unfolded made me outdo all the planning I generally do and lead a rare unplanned stint. So let me take you back on what’s happening with me and around me.

Anybody would hate to do this, leave home and go back to hostel, imagine being put in a generally bogey, when you’ve paid for the 1 tier AC. So it was time we got settled again and suddenly we learned that our trimester 2 exams are starting by the 15^th . January, freak out, not even 8 days to go and I had to study subjects like economic environment, research methodology and the baap of all COST ACCOUNTING, so all my plans of reading this book and that book were off the hook and it was now time to hit the text books, but I still managed to juggle out time between studies and leisure reading, I read FIVE POINT SOMEONE by Chetan Bhagat this time, again a decent book, I think its rather over hyped and a night at the call center is better and gives a stronger message

So there it was, the timetable… 16^th January was Organizational behavior (OB) followed by research methodology (RM) on the same day. Man 2 full-fledged subjects on the same day, that’s totally unacceptable, this was not all, and we had strategic planning on 17^th January right the next morning. So we had 6 days to go, we had no clue of the syllabus for strategic planning, RM was huge and OB was rather waste of time…. and students around were even nervous with their placements. So there it was drama, action, frustration all in a matter of 10 days. Then a class meet, a fight club like always, then I had the first sleepless night of my life. Our plans failed, but we wanted to postpone our exam and we did it.

There were classes mixed with exams and we couldn’t make out what is happening in either of them, an utter bad thought of keeping both of them together, it really sucks. This was followed by a whole week of test dates 23rd January to the 28^th, and freaks I forgot my parents anniversary, yeah, the best part was when I called my mom to ask her something she suddenly said, don’t forget to call your dad and wish him happy anniversary, and I was laughing when my mom said this, freaks how could I forget my parents anniversary, that made me realize that man this is MBA and I’m not able to manage my time properly, and that was something I was proud of always

So for sometime I was really happy and chatting with somebody on the net who is really helping me to make my evening’s more interesting, and helping me to cope with all the exam tensions and made me feel special as she does always. Then there were assignments, exams, classes, masti, my roomies birthday. …Birthday bums to him as well as me and to many people. Well the explosion is still left, I hate accounts and it was a yet another accounts exam, the sir hadn’t taught as it should be or rather he was too quick for a non commerce grad like me, so came the exam day, I was quite confident ill make this one through, we were hearing songs from the film LAKSHYA ….lakhsya toh har haal mien paana hai !!…Though I had to raise the white flag just after one hour of the exam. So I have attempted 35 marks and I have to get 30 off them, its time I start preparing Costing again!! And between all this learned that my summer internship is fixed at IPAN DELHI, JWT’s PR wing.. oh my godd !! I hate that city, but I have no option, it is said that a well settled life is always a dream, it sure is, so its time I start preparing for my summers as well. Wish me luck!

So what I’ve learnt from this month was, there can be phases in life that can be totally haphazard and chaotic, its time we got our acts together and do something about them. I also learnt that people’s emotions were carrying me away and I took some really foolish decisions, so its time I find remedy for this, well I call in for suggestions on how can I improve on this…. Till then the dairy’s closed and let me know how was this post
