AND LIFE GOES ON.....

So much has happened in my life since I penned my last blog. The treacherous first term is over, the dreaded summer placements are done (for me at least) and I have gotten so so much close to ‘Angel’. All these events were so engrossing and deserved an entry of their own into my blog but either I am eternally penurious for time or I have been spending a little too much of my time with ‘Angel’.

But first things first. I am now one term old in the famed Indian B-school campus. Life has moved through a complete ‘Roller Coaster’ ride in the last three months. A lot of learning, discovering a few great companionships, a few heart breaks and a lot of sleepless nights. That is how I sum up my first term. And to top it all, coming across ‘Angel’. This has been my single biggest achievement in the last 3 months, and I can proudly say that as an answer to any similar question in any of the interviews I might face.

The first term ended with a break of a few days. Everybody went home. Not me…. Not me…..
I was here in the campus. With Angel, spending the most beautiful 3 days of my life in ages. I got so close to her and now know her so much better. I got to understand my vulnerability when I am with her and got to get so much of her love. CHERUBIC were the days. Thank you God for those blissful times.

Those blissful few days were followed by the Hellenic rigor. The Summer Placements were on. Tiring days, tens of GDs and interviews, much heartbreak, moments of self-doubt and of guilt, spurs of frustration and irritation, consoling friends and the final exuberance. We had it all and came out alive and kicking. More than the realization of being placed , the feeling of keeping sane amidst the chaos entices me. What did I gain in the end? A summer job wasn’t the only thing. There was so much more. The zeal to fight. The nerve to remain sober. The ability to stand along with my friends. The realization that even the best may fail. Everything in those two days made me learn. It was a true display of a sense of character. I definitely know now, that a job wasn’t the real thing I earned. What I earned was strength to fight, the patience to trust in my abilities and the zeal to remain by the side of someone who has entrusted my dreams into me.
I got to know, how I could behave in such tiring times. I shouted at Angel on several occasions. Partly in my own frustration and partly because I genuinely felt so. And she bore it all. Heard me patiently. Agreed to me even though she knew I was wrong and kept her sane more than me, displaying a truly angelic character. This is precisely why I know she completes me. I know my behavioral shortcomings and know precisely how she’ll fit in. I might act tough, but am not. I have my own idiosyncrasies and my own vulnerabilities. She can take care of both.

Thank you ‘Angel’ for bearing with me and thank you for trusting me. I feel am evolving into a more matured and a better human being because of you. I realize that there are so many things we got to improve about ourselves but together we’ll take care of that. This passion to learn, to be empathic towards each other and the sense of admiration more than love, that we have developed for each other will definitely take us places. Just keep up the faith in your abilities. You have known already that you are worth what you dream of and more of that is yet to come, as the time unfolds right in front of you. Even if things aren’t that good, we might at least have the company to cry and to crib, like we have been doing eternally………but whatever happens the motto remains…..TOGETHER WE ROCK!!!
