Well!!!How to start with? Coz if i want to say about my journey towards a MBA college i have to start from my birth..But considering the well being of my blog readers i just start from the life after Completing my UG.
Life after UG:
I did my UG BSC Maths in Loyola college,chennai. Well i am a 2007 pass out. I got placed in HP.But its a BPO so my parents advised me not to join saying that BPO's will drain me.And i thought i should listen to them atleast for this time.And started thinking of what to be done next.I got advice from all i know(hardest thing in the world is getting advices!!!) and finally i decided to give a try at MBA coz the good image it have and mainly coz the pay that it can give me after i complete ( IF i do well :D)
N after that is the BIG process. only then i came to know there is a lot of entrance exams like CAT,MAT,XAT,TANCET,GMAT and on and on... :o .. Well life isn't that easy in anyway (is it?) !! then i tried CAT,XAT,MAT and finally TANCET.Expect Tancet no other had counseling kinda or something. Based on our marks we have to apply for colleges.and after that they we will be called upon for GD and PI. If u try to 10 colleges u will find 10 different kinds of interview n different ways of GD .. GOD!!! (if I have known all this earlier i must have settled with my UG itself..but i have decided..so there is no way to back out) Well i got final call from 4 colleges out of the 12 i have attended.but out of that all are away expect one.even that one i ruled out due to some reasons. And so my only way is through Tancet.Finally i got SSN SOMCA through counseling :):)
But i missed out a important thing to mention. From 2007 may to 2008 July i was without any work. In this period if u happen to c ur relatives that's the pathetic situation that one can have. when ever i see them they give me a smile that means a lot (u r still vetti (jobless) ..aren't u ?? kinda look ) AH!!.that look will make one mad.But i have to admit that its really bad to b jobless. And to the sentiment part of this u cant bear how parents care and feel for us..Even if we dont make them proud we shouldn't make them feel bad for us..but when my relatives ask them what ur son is doing, they feel so odd to say that i am VETTI than me!!! (i have to make sure that this doesnt happen again in my life)
And now about friends.there was a saying in tamil. Manaivi amaivathu ellam iraivan kodutha varam .. i will alter this the other way too.. Nalla nanbargal amaivathu ellam iraivan kodutha varam . :):) well they are mostly everything of my life. whet ever i need they are there to help me out (i am really blessed in this way) If was in a wrong path they r always der to make me right.But not only that.It will b fun always if they r der.My last one year must have went to no where if they were not with me!!(If i continue this i have to write for infinite pages coz its about friends!!! so i stop it here!!! i will be writing a spearte blog for friends(but i have to think whether u people will read that after reading this BLOG..lolz ))
After Counseling:
I have finally got into a good MBA college!! is that at all?? No way!! From getting the medical certificate for fitness to till paying the fees and assuring my Seat for MBA its a long process!!Well after that i started getting ready for my first day in college!!! i bought more formal shirts and pants coz i have only a lot of jeans and T-shirt (but later i came to know that there was no dress code or somthing!!! only so, we were advised not to be so smart and not to be a mundrikotai :p. now i have no other go than wearing the formal wear for at least the first sem or my mom will start her prayers(i mean that she will say i am unnecessarily wasting the money, doing all the unneeded works without enquiring anything n all that .so its better for me to wear the formals itself))
And even before getting into the college i came to know about my friends through orkut and through other MBA forums (thanks to the improvement in science and technology!!! how and all it works!!) We discussed about all the things we need to know about college and so there so much excitement for getting into the first day of college!!
The journey begins:
After the sleepless night before the opening day of the college ( due to the excitement i guess!! i didn't get any sleep :o) i got ready by 7AM in the (EARLY) morning.And one more thing,my UG college timing was 1 PM to 6.30 Pm since its a self supporting stream.so i used to get up by morn 10 AM and sleep in the night by 1 or 2 AM :D .Now i have to turn all that around. i have to c a new world after 3 years.first it was so fun.coz of the last day's rain it was so cool and i had a fresh morning(wow how much i have missed in my last 3 years and it was so colourful(guys will know what it means)) Since it was the first i don't want to b late,so i got a auto and went to the stop.since it's the first day a bus was specially arranged for MBA students and also parents were invited to the college. When i went to the stop everyone were introducing themselves to others and the managers of tomorrow (This is the main thing that is expected from an MBA-Be pessimistic;)) were expecting a lot.i got introduced to many new FRIENDS.And as i said earlier i know some my friends earlier ( whatever technology is there, the excitement in getting introduced directly is definitely missing when we do the same in online!!)
And finally reached the college by morn 10.30,we all landed there hoping a new tomorrow.We were welcomed by our seniors and they led us to the college.There was a refreshment there.They gave us a tea and a puff in a cake box ( the learning of management began there !!Expect the Unexpected)And i enjoyed the way SSNSOMCA( this is how it was called SSN School of management and computer applications) director talked to us. As he said we were on our last pit stop !!!(i am planning to make it was a FIT START!!!:0 coz i don't need the stop at the beginning) And after that we had guided tour of the college.and all the other formalities got over and we were back to our home!!! The first day went really well!!!
And the second day the classes started!!! First class was communication.oops i was afraid for the whole class that whether i will b made talk in front of the class (i have stage fear even now :o .. As i have just started MBA i hope i gets away soon ;) ) After that we had Operations research and Statistics for management(which made me thing that communication is lot better,for solving all this i can just go and talk) And we had a free hour after that which we used to know the new places in college ( As an MBA we need to know everything-said by my college director -i will do that at least in roaming around) And on the third day i took a leave [:o Ah!!i started taking..i should stop with this] coz it was my brothers engagement day!!! so On the next day that's on the fourth day i felt like a nightmare!!! [:o].i am not able to follow anything..ACCOUNTS,ECONOMICS,LAW!!! (ah!! One day costs a lot!!!) And we had a seminar on that day.(that was the first seminar i attended without sleeping) and it was about BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY (i thought it was some strategy which says y oceans r blue !!!) But i was wrong it was about management!! I got lil essence about management.(how much in this world is there for us to learn!!!)
And now i have to end here.coz i have attended only 4 days of college now.i am not a (Duplicate) Astrologer to predict the future and write how my MBA is going to be.But i am sure that
ALL THAT BEGAN WELL WILL END WELL!! Hope to have a gr8 time in my MBA course .Even if i am not doing something for my country, now i am in a position to do something for the people around me who believe that I CAN!!!
Sorry if it was so boring.Do write ur comments ;)
