Exams and vacation.

Well my second post within the first month. I am doing good here.

I had not written anything about me in the first blog, so here I go.
My name Ankit R Gulechha ( Naam toh sunna hoga :-p ). My sunshine being Aries, which makes me creative, passionate, adventurous, romantic, bla bla.. Currently doing my post graduation in Business Administration (ie; MBA) from T.A.Pai Management Institute, Manipal. First time hosteling here during my course. Away from home, missing the love,affection and moms food back home.

Since my last blog a lot has happened. I had Alumni meet in college, Exams and a short vacation.
Starting in reverse order. The one week vacation split into two events- outbound program from college and holiday at home. The two day outbound included trekking and other activites through which managerial learning and skills are imparted. Communication, interpersonal skills, working in team, adjusting to change, etc. The two day event was totally fun filled and quite a learning. Was at home for 5 days. This was my first break from the college rigour and tight schedule in 3 months. To be honest was feeling very jobless initially. Not much to do apart from watch movies and TV series on my laptop. Friends were busy at office during the weekdays. Wat really kept me busy was my mothers dentist visit where I had to accompany her. Things got better on friday evening and the weekend was simply awesome. Hanged out at places where we normally do, went bowling, watching cricket at friends place, late nights..
But one event during this trip has changed the way I look at relationships now. I will never forget the moment when my friend revealed a secret which he/she has kept for 4 long years. Please dont ask what.
The trip back to Manipal from bangalore was brilliant.was made to change bus midway at 4.00Am and again at 7.00Am. Sleeping in the bus passage with people kicking us around, stinking socks and shoes, uukkkkk.. But in the company of Anshul and Arghya it was total fun and masti.

Now the exams. Lets not talk bout it, they came they went. End of story.
Alumni meet was a good learning experience. The idea that management education is not bout books and grades but about managing yourself and ppl around you and keeping yourself updated with the lastest in every aspect of life was over emphasised again and again. And that is one reason why I no more bother about my grades. Met alumni from TAPMI's first batch. The knowledge sharing was so enriching. Was lost in thoughts like what I would be doing when i come back here after two years. Alumni meet is one of the most awaited events at any B-schools. It is the first level of interaction wth the industry with the freedom to be very casual with them as they are from same college.

I had started writing this post to emphasise on fact that I really did not have much time for my second blog. Glad I did it asap.
