Life Of Eklavya With No B-school

[bonddonraj@IIM]

HI FRIENDS, i donot know whether my post here among big B school talks shall be welcomed or not. but i thought to share it with all as somewere -someone like me shall be trying hard to get the value of life.

now i am 29 yr old, had a long journey of 7 yrs in corporate world...as sr executive. yrs ago when i compleated my graduation i joined a small b school for MBA concept of IIM was there in my mind and heart but was not that fortunate to have my parents on my side as they are from science side and wanted me to be in same line...but i adamentaly listened to my inner voice...and joined a b school.....some how destiny had someting else in store for me , my father strictly denied to pay my fee for no good reason as i just cleared my 1st yr exams..........so had to discontinue my mba in mid way as i had compromise on financial grounds........the idea of loan taking was not there for me ...one i was not aware...two i had to be on job any how.......i left my home ....and joined a small company as an sales executive........................7 yrs of pain ...and burning desire though may not be expressable and important for all but had a driving force for me...and i joined PT institute when i was posted in Nasik .....and started preparing for CAT.......compromised a lot with my job....financial grounds.....every thing.....
i left my job and came back to delhi and joined IMS .....and devoted fully myself for CAT preperation ....i had to do so as i was never a good student coz my disputed family.........
then came september 18.....and i fell ill and was hospitalised.....till 12 november.......................................... ...........
saw my dream criplling down on 21 november d day...........
result came....and all may guess how good it would be......................
gave MAT unwillingly..........got call from niilm...iilm...bimtec........the moment i was asked to pay fee.....though was beyond my capacity...i applied for loan.........but got stuck in the mid.........................as it needed my father`s signature,,,obviously answer was no.............................
finally tried to land up in same old b-school from where i was thrown out......was in mid of procedure....but got stuck......(stucking in mid way was becoming my destinie`s habbit)...........i scored 49% in my graduation...........!!!!! so was not adimitted there.....as eligibility criteria was 50% ..........
.......finally joined another b school which i can afford....and eligibility was not an issue..........................NO DESTINY did not favoured me but had more cruel way for me...............it was a DISTANCE learning programme ...which institute disclosed only before issuing enrollment card for exams))))))!!!! (i have though filed a case in conumer court this time and is doing MBA as corrospondence student direct from university)...........
but during all this ordeal.....one word kept me alive ....IIM-A ......my dream my passion..........the word which gave me strength to fight................during my preperation for CAT i used to be so mad with this word that one day my way back from mumbai...i happend to land IIM-A ......roamed there for 2 hrs touched every wall....sat and was lost there.......came out only to promise to come back...............people say why IIM-A only just cant say why.......may be i am sync but i am happy............
in my 1st sem of my resent MBA i desided my path................if not as student ....i have to make my path for a good faculty....and one day shall be in IIM-A as faculty.......
pagalguy was always a good friend for me.....espesially this section.....life @ iim is my favourate....to enable me to dream to be in iim.......and behave like that..........
i started working for it...then came the day my friend brought me economic times and showed me about MDP programmes @ iim-a ...i checked in site ...fee was too high for me......BUT wait i saw about a conference............sixeth asia pesefic ABC conference.......it was about communication and gender........i desided to just attend it.........as date to submit abstract was over ............
but one night i mail prof Asha Kaul......on 2nd day after mail i was thrilled to get responce .......that i was asked to submit my abstract!!!!!!
To write a paper was an alien for me .................even my prof and friends mocked at me.....................but another group of friends ( all doctors doing MD , as i live in campus of a medical college) they supported me......and helped me every step to make the paper...do research ...analyse data....every thing ..........days and night i workrd .....my enthusiasm was on peak as was the matter of IIM-A .i had to go there I PROMIsED........
THERE came my destiny.........started getting my eye muscle problem............was operated in one eye..............AND THERE I WAS STUCK FOR ANOTHER
WEEKS .....................
but this time i desided to fight back........IIM-A had called me.........
sat on system again one eye closed .......worked ....worked.............worked......got final print out on the very day i was to boared my train to Ahemdabad..................
donot know what happend to me there when i landed iim -a ..............nothing.........!!! as if shocked......only to wake up in front of mike and all eminent faculty members ...prof Dholakia....dr Himanshu.....dr Desai......prof Asha............telling my experince to make paper ......and came applause ...and few blessings....
my first paper was published.......
i did not stopped after that .........IIM-B........IIM-K ....IIM-l ....ISB .....
presently i have 8 papers published in my hand... and pripaing for send sem exams........................................
i shall fulfill my dream ........i promise........IIM-A

@bonddonraj@IIM - Hats of to you if what you narrated is indeed true!

Mind to share your knowledge pool with PGites? Can you give us the link of your published papers? I am sure people would love to read it.

PS: Btw, who wrote this write-up for you on PG? A person who has published 8 papers won't post such stuff for sure.

Dear ravi goyal444,

With 1 post in bold, and param_rocks with 2, testifying as the only witness, doesn't make the story any more convincing. It's damn easy to come up with a new username and even more easier to dole out a story. But, asked to testify, and it all goes rolling.

Don't try to mislead puys with hypothetical stories. It is not at all convincing that a person who has published 8 papers will write such a unprofessional writeup. Many here on the forums without such an acclaim can write much better.

Everyone is allowed to post their experiences and stories provided they have enough material and resources to support their story 'if' there is any question against it *or* the authenticity of the story is questioned.

And ya paper publications have copyright funda and is needed cash to excess

excess

i dont think that there is any restriction on *viewing* published papers.
copyright is used to protect it from illegal copying/reproduction/use without taking the permission from the concerned person/company

so ----bonddonraj@IIM

- do come more with your experienses-

let the 'Bond' do the talking we would like to here his take on the questions raised

No hard feelings anyone plz...

Ditto
