3 months from Home!

Hello people,
It's been a long time since I wrote an article on my blog. 3 months to be precise. My last post was regarding the time spent in Engineering and about the few days before life in IIM. When I write this article today, 3 months later, I am engulfed in the vicious circle which has managed to capture everyone's eye. I am done with 1/6th of my MBA at one of the premiere (if not the best) institutes in India, IIM Calcutta.
It was difficult in the first few days. The weather was unbearable. I had never experienced so much heat in Mumbai. not a good start with the weather. To add to that, I had stomach aches, cold, cough, fever (No swine flu, thank God). Moreover, it was the first time I would be away from home for studies. So it was a bit difficult with my parents leaving for Mumbai.
But life became more brighter with each passing day. I initially had the view that life in IIM's would be very cut throat with colleagues behaving like total strangers, not helping each other out. This is a perfect example of why seeing is believing. Things went very smooth here. Each and every person here had and has been very helpful. The faculty has lived upto its reputation and has been awesome. Life in IIM's has been interspersed with very hectic days and days where you can relax and explore the streets of kolkata.
1st terms has got over and the second has already begun. I go to the land of everyone's dreams, my city, Mumbai this friday for a relaxation of 10 days. So, my friend, after a good long but enjoyable 1st term at IIM Calcutta, it's time to rock and roll in Aamchi Mumbai. Cya then.
