A semester gone by @ Great Lakes Institute of Management, Gurgaon.

"Swoosh!" That's how 8 weeks here went by@ Great Lakes Institute of Management,  Gurgaon. DAAAYYYUUUM!! I still can't get over it.

I'm trying to recall what I did. Week 1 - We were at Rishikesh, Week 2 - I remember books. Lots of books, Week 3 - I remember a lot of late nights with "Orange juice" and BAM!! It's the eight week. I'm unable to decipher if its a good thing or a bad thing. *goes into thinking mode*

This is how 2am looks like from where we stay. Coutesy - Raj Vikas (PGPM 14)


Good thing? Bad thing? I dont know. What I do know is that I have made friends. The kind who will help you up when need be. And that's not something you come across everyday.

A birthday party every week. A lot of "orange juice" and loud music. The neighbors are wild already. And I do not mean it in the fun way. Get your head out of the ditch man!

This is my first time ever being out of my house and I must say. I'm impressed. Again, I don't know what I'm impressed with. They serve Veg food 99.9997% (Six Sigma) of the time. And when they do, I wanted to throw a fork at the cook, the weather is either scorching or it rains so much that one needs a boat to get around and classes can get killing sometimes but hey! guess what, I'm impressed.

It's a package they say. This is that package.

Term 1 - Thanks to you. My friends in Bangalore are pisd off with me because of this post.


Cheers

The Beer was already on the table. To celebrate was inevitable !! \m/

Great Lakes Institute of Management, here I come.


What a way to start!! It was all the more exciting because my student loan got sanctioned on my birthday (15th May). Happy Birthday to me. :)

As happy as I am, the past month and it’s experiences for me in getting a loan has taught me a lot. From how important money and property is to how important a guarantor is (For the loan).

For a while I regretted my past (For being less financially sound, having to ask everyone for help, etc) and wondered should the past have been different, I would not have run from pillar to post like a dog begging for me to study further. More-so because it wasn’t for a car, a house or even something as shallow as jewellery but it was for me to study. And study alone. But I was wrong. And how.

Why? you might ask. Well, if it wasn't for my past and its difficulties, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Today, I feel wealthier more than ever before. I have a family that encourages me, friends who'd pick me up, moments that are worth more than money can buy. For that, I am fortunate.

I have God to thank for that. God and.... a LOT of Alcohol. :P
