Dear GMPin’s,

Tomorrow, most of us would have completed one month here in XL, 14 more to go! When I look back, I become more and more confident that coming here was one of the best things happened to me in the long time. Everything that I imagined, is happening here (albeit at a faster pace!), be it ice-breaker and birthday parties on campus or Saturday night wet parties at some resto in Bistupur , or the endless discussions about forming committees or otherwise or Sunday morning football matches. Loving every bit of it! The moments captured in those pictures may not tell the whole story, but when we’ll get hold of them ten years from now, we’ll surely relive these wonderful, unforgettable moments. Sometimes, I feel, given any random the date and time in the last one month and I would be able to recollect what I was doing exactly!

Merely a month and we have it all: from anxious moments before first marketing quiz or speech in MCN class to late night case analysis to just a pleasing stroll post dinner around the lush-green campus. The zenith, I must say came on the adventure trip, when we returned exasperated with every bone and muscle in the body paining, yet with a smile on the face , as if we have won a war ! That, one of the kind experience, provided fresh lease of life and will be etched strongly in our memory.

When 120 best brains in the country throng, differences in opinion are bound to happen, but the way we have handled some of the natural (adventures on the adventure trip) and man (profs) made challenges, with so much ease and bonhomie, only makes my belief stronger that ‘the best is yet to come’. They say, it takes a moment to ‘click’ with someone and, XL has provided aplenty and continues to do so. The bridges of friendship we have built in such a short span of time, amidst of all those dreadful words like “product cannibalization” and “better mousetrap fallacy”, is simply amazing. Those cerebral discourses in classrooms and around the dining table have now become the order of the day. On the surface, it seems any other class in a b -school of XL’s league, but with every passing day you find, many more poets, singers, dancers, musicians and sportsmen. Yeah, it’s surely gonna be transformation batch.

Life surely doesn’t look easy with the news about the sluggish economy emerging every other day, on one hand and so many assignments and quizzes giving those ominous look every other hour, on the other hand but yes, with those endless leg-pulling sessions and laughter in store, I’m sure we’ll leave no stone unturned to get there.. Where we truly belong. Remember the lines “I have a dream, a song to sing…”?

Come Alive...Come XLRI !!



Cheers.


Regards
