Finally arrived at my college, IIM-Ahmedabad. It wasn’t easy. Was working at Deutsche Bank in Singapore till Friday, 4th April, 3:00 P.M. 7:00 P.M. was the flight. Have to pick up the luggage, some things have to be dropped to the cargo guy and then go to the airport. Aah… And then there is a bit of sadness. Came in Singapore in June 2005. It has been more or less 3 years I have been in Singapore. But I really really owe so much to this country. This place had always helped me to come out of so many problems. It has been really nice. And I am going to miss Nagi, Micheal so much. They listened to me all the time. They helped me prepare for my GMAT, in writing essays as well as the interview preparation for IIM. So there is a nostalgic feeling. I am not sure when I will meet them…
Finally I have reached Ahmedabad. So, this is the place that has much of hype around. You tell anyone in India that you have got an admission into IIM-A and you can hear “vow, great man…”. It is 7:00 in the morning. I get my keys to the room. Can I take a quick snap from my new Canon camera? The only purchase I had from Singapore (I have to thank my fiancé’, Mallika, who literally forced me to get this from Singapore and every time I click a photo in a new location, my heart thanks her). So this is the view from my room. Pretty good, I am really lucky to be here.
