Orientation week @ISB

The moment I entered the gates of ISB, I realized the kind of handicap I was. People rushing in from all corners so excited to know you "Hey dude Whats up, where are u from...and the question list never ends"
The alums force and push ahead as much of networking they can, but very soon i realized although it is good but either it was too early for me to go ahead with that or I guess it would remain as it is.
My introduction generally appeared like somebody who was a left away from the Cast Away crew and finally has found his way to the civilized world, although i might not be amazed at candles and lighters, but definitely amazed at the "extremely conspicuous sophistication"
ISB wanted that i become civilized (defined by the ability to speak english fluently, know the elegant way of eating food.....But in a week i could gather more than 25 ppl who were happy to talk abusively in hindi....and were happy to find company....I wish these numbers grow to 577 (batch strength)...Amen.
Certain events like team building etc were done, I have always kind of hated most of these types of stupid games, but thanks to alums...who had some morale to convey from each game.
A good thing that i learnt in this while...."SHIT HAPPENS"...so it did during the entire skit on talent show...but still we managed to pull it off and ca..me second...I can undoubtedly say...if those blunders wouldnt have taken place...we would be the winners for sure.....but no point cribbing later (another lesson)

Net impact club...has made a deep impact i pray that this interest stays on...forever....
Confusion confusion all over....marketing, retail, gmc, consulting.......and the list never ends...I am not sure what i want to do...but definitely am sure about the things i dont want to...Marketing, retail, IT, systems, BTC, consulting...and even this is not short...goes on and on.....Staying here the alums conveyed a beautiful thought....
"This is a great learning place, do what you think would not be possible outside" No matter what the end result is...but i will surely put my head and heart into learning ki dhanda kaise hota hai.....naukri toh koi de hi dega...aakhir itne bure bhi nahin hai...
