Life is full of surprises at every step.
BUT ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I am questioned by every senior here about my career goal. I am an UPSC aspirant who is here spending money to get a MBA degree. And the reaction to my explanation is usually : "Are you serious?"
Well of course I am serious! I am asked whether my father has too much money too waste. And my reply to that is "Are you serious?" No. I have taken a loan. I am an independent woman who wants to take the responsibility of the decisions I have taken in life.
I should be more diplomatic, but the anger comes on face nonetheless.
So are we serious? About what we really want to do. I feel I should learn to ignore the questions thrown at me regarding the path I have taken. Because what I want to do with my life, is none of anybody's business. And yes! I am serious about this.
If I start doing things just the way others are doing, then I won't be me. That is how it works. I wonder if I ever had to give so many explanations to my parents when it came to the decisions I have taken in life.
But then, maybe I should not get angry. Maybe I should just smile and ignore. I should smile more. I need to relax. I believe in myself. My path might seem a little crazy to many, but my friends, crazy is in. I can lie to you, make up a good enough story and make you believe that I am the perfect MBA student. But then I want you to know the person I am.
Many ask me to lie. They tell me that my honesty will not work in an interview. But there are some favorite seniors of mine. They smile. They give me real advises. And they mean what they say. They tell me to put my honesty in a package which will be desirable to hear. Right they are. And maybe I listen to them, because respectful they are. I look forward to learn from them, despite the fact most of them are freshers. Younger they may be, but when it comes to MBA, a year older they are. No ego issues there!
For a few days, I will shamelessly admit, I regretted that the seniors were back on campus! But things are getting better now. I really like most of them. And a few that I have had arguments with, well I will learn either to forget the arguments or learn to ignore them. Life is again filled with dreams of what I will learn and take away with me from IMT. And now we can concentrate on Academics and studies. And if you believe what I wrote in the previously line, all I have to say to you is "ARE YOU SERIOUS". Dude, this is where the ice breaks and the party begins! Cheers IMT!
