What Others think..

16th October 2008...after a long wait finally our MBA session got underway...there was an Orientation program...i was not quite happy or ecstatic as one should be...the bsnl-jto result was still in the back of my mind...i was expecting it anytime.. i had
done satisfactorily but you are never sure in these examinations as there are lac of aspirants and only few seats...its not about scoring as fixed percentage of marks but its about merit..anyways i still wanted to know the result as I've appeared for the examination...the program began with some guest lectures about various aspects of management..attributes of a good manager,real time issues in managing a set of people or an organization etc then after lunch we had a small self introduction session..after i gave my intro... some of my fellows started asking me a few questions which continued today as well... " You are an Engineering graduate so why are you doing your MBA from jabalpur? why not Indore? why not Pune? it felt as if I've committed a big mistake... it was hard for people to digest...then i answered to some saying " i want to stay back at home" perhaps i didn't want to waste my time and energy explaining to them my reasons for opting an institute in Jabalpur..then we were told that we'll have a session tomorrow where we can share our lessons from today's lectures...i was excited about it...and was all set to register my name for that...but somehow i did not...I was still trying to figure out Am i at the wrong place? while coming back to home i looked at the heavens and prayed for my bsnl results...and was getting desperate....but today when i went to college... the first presentation made my day... it was a brilliant presentation by one of my class mates..and i bet many of my engg mates wouldn't be able to speak and present like that...i felt better...next there was a presentation from a project manager from Wipro Tech. it was highly inspirational and motivating... and it was now i was feeling back to normal...and no regrets for my decision...the point i am trying to make from this short experience of mine is that...no matter how firm you are...the
outside world does influence you.... they say never listen to what people say or think about you just go for goal...but it does effect you and puts comas and semicolons in your sentence....

dream job..

whats a dream job for you? specially for a fresher just out with a college degree..
a decent package an air conditioned office....isn't it...but no there are few who dream bigger..

what about starting a company when you are just out of college... sounds quite risky...and it becomes even more tougher when u are not from an IIT or an IIM..
but there's a friend of mine who had different ideas..i worked with him for around an year...the experience that i had just can't be explained...he got an offer from accenture but he decided to carry on with his own venture..that takes a lot of character..it was never a smooth sail though...we faced challenges getting funds for new projects but never gave up..and what followed is history..just visit the following websites

I always believe its better to work for a start up or a relatively small organization rather than sitting idle in a giant company..the learning is vast...this is where you face real challenges...and above all the sense of achievement and satisfaction is huge...
