Happy diwali
'Amit, you lazy bum, get up, we have to go for the presentation''But i am just coming from a presentation'
'Doesnt matter, that company was from IT sector. This one is a finance one'
'So wht........ i dont want to go now......... i m getting a bit tired of these ppts. cud u just go n note down all the gyan they give. n then u cud give me a 5 min ppt on wht they said in an hour's lecture. i cud give u a treat in canteen for tht'
' no way....just get up....we r getting late'
'k, hang on.....i am coming'
this was part of a small conversation between myself n my neighbour an hour earlier. n thts one of the major reason i hv been away frm this blog fr a while n wud remain away for some more time. busy attending ppts, filling application forms n goin thru websites...... initially this seems very exciting...... high ranking employees of top notch firms coming and pitching for the students here.......u start to feel the power the IIMA brand exerts n there is sumthing which gives a lot of boost to the egos......but gradually the fatigues sets in....... n then u start feeling tht i cant take it anymore. But this is the beauty of this place. u think of giving up n then suddenly from nowhere get tht latent energy to get up n go to auditorium to attend the ppts.
meanwhile tomorrow is Diwali.... n there is sumthing different n sumthing peculiar i m feeling abt this diwali..... this wud be the first one i wud be spending away from my family. no younger brother here to pester me to light more crackers, no cousins here to egg me on to get more crackers, mom is not here, i miss her n her advice, 'beta, take care while playing with crackers. they can be be dangerous'. papa is not here, otherwise he wud hv been calling me to sit in the diwali puja. life can be sumtimes be very ironic. u work hard, study hard, so tht u can keep ur family happy, but fr achieving the same thing u hv to stay away frm ur family, sit in ahmedabad n just think abt the next form u r going to fill....... i m seriously missing my family now, yes mom - i never tell u this thing on phone, but i really miss u.
fr the cricket fans there hv been certainly gud news.... the god is back in the field n back to perform wht he is best at- murdering bowlers with tht nonchalant arrogance. n back r the exquisitive drives, blazing pulls, charges down the wicket n tht hunger to regain the no 1 spot which has been truly his. gone r the self-doubts which had plagued him fr 2 years. n we r getting to see the same sachin whom we had been earlier accustomed to. the mood in in the indian team has become positive n there seems to be new vigour in the team. seems we r in fr treat fr sumtime now
meanwhile happy diwali to all of u, ur families, ur friends, chachas, chachis, mamas, mamis n ........... enjoy urself n take care while burning crackers..... hv i started sounding like my mom.... seems time to log out
