Sayonara...Corporate for a while!!!

If I look back at my stay at CSC(around 3 years),its full of falls and rises.
An adventure where I got to understand people and behaviors better.
Ist thing was that I always thought that there are friends and Just friends and there are enemies who are just enemies.
Totally black and white approach.Either good or Bad.But my experiences have shown that its a wrong strategy,of course when you are in Corporates.Its only Grey which matters.
Everybody has dark shades to their lives in addition to the silver linings.
That was,in fact even today is a hard fact to swallow,but then who said that life provides easy respites.
When in corporate,even your enemy is your friend as he/she will be of use to you someday.
So basically its the person's utility which matters here and not anything else.What kind of person that he/she is...If he is useful,then a friend,otherwise wait for the time when he becomes useful.What a pity for human life.It has just become another commodity.Weighed in materialistic world.
2nd thing was prejudices people have without any sound logic.
Baseless and totally rubbish.That all without even talking to the person and knowing him/her.
You are typecast.And there you go.One can't really break out of that image.

Then you have to be assertive at all times.

Dressing is one aspect I am never good at.People ACTUALLY see the color of the socks you are wearing.Just kiddin' but then it is an important aspect.Impeccable Dressing sense.I am more of driven by what is comfortable and what is available,then to be really conscious about my dressings...
Friends,I have already said sth earlier.I think I have met some really nice people.Lets see if our relationships can withstand the time/space gap b'coz of my MBA and their liabilities.

Commitment to the job done,managers devising plans to screw their subordinates(You have to cry to be heard...),what to do and what not to do...Its been a Great experience.
Some people I hated in the first instance,some girls I fell in love at the first meeting itself,some friends were like brothers,some people I admired for their behavior and some I wondered that such people exist...
Darrubazz,tee totaller,veg non veg,bengalis,tamils,kanaddas,malayalis,punjabis,Upites,biharis,europeans,Americans,chinese...such of a cultural blend.
Coming from a small town,it was a learning to meet such a mix and varied blend of people.

I matured.I matured as a person.My thinking became more of independent.Though I have maintained my reputation of being playful and kiddish.Deep inside I knw that I can take much better decisions now.Jittery but I will make it.Still confusion and lack of confidence at places,but when on my own,I can stand even the worst of bakar bazzs.(But then I am No 1;)
Got to know how companies are run,strategies,marketing,bids,competition,trainings so much...Will take time to assimilate.May be when I am a li'l older,I will appreciate much better what I have achieved.May be not...
But I am leaving CSC on a high note.
Yes,there were bitter feelings,with quality of work,2 yr bond,kinda people I met,recognition and growth chances..but that is past.You condone when you reach a particular stage.
And here I am...Sometimes I think it was all part of the system,of which we all have become habitual of.Certain goods and bads...But then who said life is all about BLACK n WHITE...
Its all colorful and you will find every type of color here.

I have had my fair shares of rainbows as well as clouds...

First effects of Hel(L)

I am through L.
I don't know whether to be Happy that I finally got it or relieved that it got over.
Having very mixed feelings.All your life you keep on fighting for certain things and when you achieve them,you feel confused.I wanted this?
Its a predicament which everybody face at one point or other.
When I read the IIM blogs,people say that their lives have changed.For good or for worse,they don't even know.I want to be intact.Happy,Honest,Happening guy.
I just don't want to become what they say as "Another Brick in the Wall".I want to carve a space for myself.People lose how to feel when they are at a B school.They become antipaths to the sufferings of the common strata.Like they are in a different world away from ground realities.
If I can come out of this rigorous schedule of 2 long winding years with my conscience with me,I would be more than happy.I know its very pessimistic of me to think about these things when I should be at the top of the world.May be I am scared.Scared because of the change.B'coz of the ocmfort level that I have put myself in and these are just withdrawl symptoms.May be I'm expecting too much.
Lets see how things shape up at the Nawaabi Sheher.
Till then,its all fingers crossed...
