A beginning in a culmination

It was way back towards the end of 2003 that the thought of pursuing management after I acquire my engineering degree was born. At that stage everything seemed distant and unlikely, a possibility but an improbability ... Now as I've finished with my final MBA admission interview, the reality of having completed the grind is slowly sinking in. The written tests, the results, the interview calls, the interviews themselves, the final admits ... all seem to melt into this huge blur of frenzied activity. And quite frankly, as everything draws to a close and institutes start disclosing their final calls, it feels great to have some reward for the effort! It feels good obviously because it means an admit into a good institute for a programme you really want to do. But it has been a great confidence booster more than anything else ... that feeling that you belong there with the best. I know that this is just the beginning of a long journey, one which will undoubtedly be tough, demanding and full of surprises. But that's all the future and I'd prefer to let it stay there ... for now, it's the present that matters. The present which has been rewarding and which demands respect in the form of some unadulterated celebration! So, let's say cheers to that! Hic!!
