IBS Hyderabad Unintentionally Seminal....

I wrote this blog on the morning after our farewell. Waking up early morning and standing in your balcony, you look towards the campus and realize that your journey in the campus is about to end. The early morning mist welcomes you and through the fog, you can see the academic block which had been your mecca.

Looking back through the mindless classes, boring lectures, proxies, assignments, printouts, I M Pandeys & Kotlers, powerpoint slides etc in the end nothing will matter. What matters most to us is the time spent here and the memory we will carry through. The Binger's coffee, the college canteen, the gaming sessions, the cricket ground, the mess, the never ending discussions, the grapevine, the gossip mongers, the city bus, the Ramalulus, Dhabas and the Sharmas, the birthday bashes, the night walks, stu-z, movies, files trasfer of gtalk etc was what made up our life here. The days spent here would carry on to be the best days of our lives...(sounding cliched :) yes..). In the end everyone will get a job and get settled but that leisure and free time will not be there.We had the power of youth with us.Your youth is that moment, that spark which you will always carry in your heart.  

 

The last two years in the campus has been breathless, tumultuous, acrimonious, humourous, chaotic, crass, and unintentionally seminal. You name any human emotion and you will find it here. How the coming years will shape up will depend a lot on the beliefs, memories and wisdom that you gather from this place. You end up making some friends as well as some foes and learn from their life. The place may not teach us be good great managers/damagers, but it surely will enrich your people management skills. Sometimes i think we lived in a utopia here.

 

Someone said very correctly that as one gradually gains experience, one loses one's youth. The future experiences will make you more smarter and street smart. But while driving your car back from the office and gazing at youngsters hanging out, do remember the life that you left behind. IBS Hyderabad for good or for bad, i surely will remember you for life.
