So Long IIMA! - It is all Over

It is with a bitter sweet feeling that I am penning down my last few moments at IIMA. The graduation ceremony last night provided for a fitting end to what has been one of the most memorable years of my life. The thunderous praise with which we were accoladed in the director's and the chief guest's speeches somehow vindicated the countless sleepless nights over the last 12 months.

The knowledge and the brand will remain forever attached, wherever I go. It is difficult to impart this vast insight and acumen over night. The value of an MBA, as it is said, is achieved over long term. So I move on, looking for a start to my post MBA journey. The desire is to do something meaningful and tangible, in a place where such efforts would be appreciated the most.

The sprawling campus, which has stood like an oasis in the middle of a chaotic Indian city hustle bustle, will also be sorely missed. The kids especially enjoyed the wide open lawns, hallways, gardens to run around on. It will difficult to replace this sort of an ambiance anywhere else.

So long IIMA!
