MBA life!!!!!

I remember the day when I came to SIMS 16th july my dad had come to drop me off. I met my new roommates and guess what none of them were my age I was the youngest of all. And than the very first night the tiles in our room cracked as if the room is falling apart and than the orientation introductions I so used to hate them but now I know the orientation time was really good. My life in completing an mba has been like a up and down graph where sometimes I went through the most wonderful phases of life and than came the worst I could ever expect. But all in all a good experience and a way to learn a lot. When I came I thought I would meet some old friends from school here and we will have a good time but there was nothing as such but I met a new family of friends in my 1st semester class 1b and I began to enjoy it but than again it broke off and we were divided into our specializations after that it was never the same I became alone but then our dance competition started and than I met two people who are now my best friends. They came and than it seemed that my life is back on track. They changed my life or should I say gave me life. But than they went away and I was alone again and now was the time of 3rd semester this was the worst phase of my life I could ever get in. There comes problems in everybody’s life I know but this time I was loosing it all till god send again a savior for me in a friend again. Her name is Swati. She took me out of it and gave me the lost strength. I still say everyone should have a friend like her. My whole mba have been a learning experience for me not only in studies but morally too. I learnt how your friends can also become your strength sometimes. I learnt that sometimes one has to face his problems himself as they are created by him only. My friends made me learn to believe in myself, in my abilities. I learnt that good and bad phases are a part of life you just have to wait patiently and let them pass for there is always light after dark clouds that’s what one of my friends used to say.

I used to think that my time at SIMS has been the worst but now I feel that it has shown me what real life is. It gave me a lot of things like confidence, courage, a platform for my interests like dancing, some of the most wonderful golden moments of my life and of course some of the best friends whom I can never forget ever in my life for they are the ones who gave life to Deepaish not once but twice. I just thank all of them with this blog for being there for me when I needed them.

Recession Hits!!!!!!!!!!

I remember it was just after my summers when I went home. My father asked me what are the next steps now I told him that in my fourth sem we all will be getting placed I told him that the average salary had been 6.5 last year for our seniors and I atl least come in the average students of symbi so I should be able to get atleast 6 lakhs easily and even if I don’t push myself too much i might get at least a package of 4.5 easily. God I really curse myself why did I ever said those things why did I see dreams like buying a digi cam for my father and an LCD for my mother giving gifts to my best friends. Nothing is going to come true at least not In this scenario. Companies not doing recruitments, placements not happening nothing going on people fighting for even packages as low as 2.5 lacs. I mean I don’t say its impossible to survive with such a package but in a city like Bombay I still doubt it. And than what you get is sales for god sake if not a good package at least give a good profile. But no nothing at all people have reached their desperate levels where they are going for anything and everything they are getting. People who had egos about their so called work- ex are all now working at the same platform competing with the freshers. Well its not their fault its just this period which everyone is going through. You call your friends who are working and they say we are saving our necks, our pays have been cut. We didn’t get any rise, etc.. what to say this recession is taking a toll on everyone.

Dreams, ambitions, interests doesn’t matter now it’s a fight for survival now and the one who sustain through is a clear winner. May be it’s a test that god is taking well sometimes I say why does it always happen when I am there but no everyone is going through the same phase except that some have been a little lucky but all in all everyone can just hope that everything will come back on track some day. What we can do is to wait and watch and survive till than!!!!!!!
