20 June , is my birthday - & for this year it is also a day on which I reached at land of dreams - Indian Institute of Management, Indore. So, I consider this to be a biggest ever gift in my life being a part of premier, prestigious management school in India. After a lot of struggle, failure, success, patience, risk, IIM indore is one who gave me a chance of becoming part of this esteemed institution & I am really deeply thankful for that. IIM Indore is a place where I stepped up with a lot of expectation from myself in this facilitating college.
The depiction of IIM culture in Letter to Incoming students from SAC Coordinator gave me hint about the heaven I am going. The excitation created after so much news, portrayal of college, my curiosity has ended after reaching gates of excellence – IIM, Indore. I will always remember my feeling while crossing those gates. This is a place for which I worked hard, burnt the candle with both ends. Being a part of 450 out of 2.15 Lakh applicants shivers me entirely. But also remind me the responsibility I have during two years of course. It jogs my memory with being student of IIM & folklore of IIM alumni. Finest colleagues in country, interaction with globally recognized faculty, excellent infrastructure & guidance of seniors at IIM will play a great role in shaping my career. So, those gates of IIM stroke my chord with largest ever force.
The hostel room I got – B211 gave me understanding of infrastructure superiority of IIM. When I opened doors of room, I found sounds of great people calling me for becoming part of their group & show study table as vehicle to reach up to them. I stumbled near to bed- mattress which was promising me of both nightmares &sweet dreams.. After unpacking my luggage & becoming fresh, I moved for food in mess. Within just entrance, cleaning of mess only gave indication of quality of food & its vindicated after having lunch. This promised me that there will be no disliking of subji, considering taste of subji. The vast campus of college spread on hillock give a good scene of surrounding area. Also, I realized heat in indore is so much in afternoon as compared to pune. But also evening at this place is very cool & breezing. I will always prefer walk around this campus in evening. So evening walk of my first day at IIM, I will consider my gift for my birthday.
After completing registration on Monday, I got English & Communication Skill subject & I really think I need to make considerable improvement in my communication skills and I think preparatory module is a first step to do that. Also I got introduction with students who came from diversified background in terms of work experience, graduation, state, language. But I think one thing is common between all PGP students & that’s “Determination to do outstanding stuff in any circumstances”. The example of impression, brand IIM, I found in State bank of Indore in afternoon. The deal of education loan they offered under the name IIM, I think nowhere else will be available. It’s amazing to say “Sanctioning of 15 Lakhs loan without any security and guarantee”. In library I got outlook of various international & domestic books, reports, journals, survey. I really want to say this library is one who will play greatest role in building of me as a management student. By the reason of making photocopies of documents, I wandered in campus of institute for searching machine of same. I truly appreciate infrastructure of our college. Every place in college I thought to be a vantage point which offers me not only excellence but also capacity of becoming excellence. For doing some shopping, I along with my friends went to Rau(nearer place) by college bus & thanks a lot to bus driver for that. But while coming back, the high crowded private bus also gave me one unforgettable experience. In the assembly with SAC members, I comprehended one supreme thing that might be running all processes in IIM is “DISCIPLINE”. I am thankful to SAC coordinator for introducing system & rules of institute & I promise my duty of binding to them.
It had been said by Antony Robbins “It is in your moments of decision your destiny is shaped”. I took a brave decision of resigning the engineering job for first attempt/preparation of CAT before 3 months of exam & I got what I was destined – IIM indore. I am really feeling delighted in this campus which shaped management careers of hundreds of its students. I dreamed for management career & now I got platform to convert it into really by means of my action. Here every action I will do have a impact on my individual & collaborative competence building. Here I will get not only theoretical knowledge but also chance of implementing that in practical at individual & group level. The guidance I will get from seniors will be supreme for me & it has potential of making me supporting senior in future. I am glad for having global faculties in IIM. This is a place where I am going to rub my shoulders with country’s best talent. By participating in various committees activities, I feel I am bound to gain a new stream of knowledge. I am looking for hostel as a home away from home. This is a time – first day in IIM – to promise my self that “Every moment I would spent here is for improving myself and for becoming a good alumni of IIM Indore and in course of that the discipline, values, ethics are one which will define my personality”
Finally for my first day in IIM Indore, I will like to say I remember quote of Nepoleon Hill – “Cherish your vision & your dreams as they are children of your soul; the blueprint of your ultimate achievement”

I will miss COEP a lot
21 June – is my joining date of IIM indore. I have to report to institute latest by evening of 20 june – which is my birthday. So on my birthday of this year I will be on land of dreams – biggest ever gift for me. I will leave Pune on 19 June afternoon. I will miss Pune a lot- it is a place where I spent six years of my life which was period of zeal of youth. This period shaped my life completely here. I am really gonna miss this place so much. When word Pune comes, for me it is bounded with tag COEP – College of Engineering, Pune-5. I will not say I left COEP after completion of degree in 2008, because I had spent most of time in COEP hostel, even after degree completion. So, in reality I am leaving COEP now.
I still remember first day of joining COEP. It was rainy day. I am looking myself in front of main building of COEP – 17 years aged, completely naïve, immature boy I was, didn’t know what life actually means, what engineering signify. But COEP is alchemist who made me what I am. When I came to Pune, I didn’t know about IIT, IIM,Wharton, Harvard, it’s only COEP who told me about it. The friend circle I got here is not best in world but it is better than best in a complete galaxy. I memorize the moments I laughed, I cried, I failed, I succeed, I agonized. I remember my foolishness about fighting with friends, infatuation, bunking lectures, drinking like fish after 3rd year. All these are the moments which I will never forget in my life. Mess food was most excellent meal in the regions I visited. The parties we did with contribution of Rs. 100 each were most remarkable revelry in my life. Goa tours are also considerable elements of my souvenir. The amazing time I spent in Mashal Dance, Traditional day, gathering was outstanding for me. My placement – late in our batch & most grand party in hostel witness my golden days. COEP gym is also one where I spend on average one hour in a day. The hostel where I spent more time than in classes (in both day & night), no one can erase from my memory. Living with illegal roommates & drinking late night was thrilling experience for me. For me, the ground in front of G block where according to me I played at my best as spinner is better than any international stadium. I find myself walking through staircase of block, gossiping for hours with friends in front of I-block. I locate myself in front of food stall, juice centre outside hostel, with wandering eyes, ogling at birds. I remember my tearful eyes when I removed my luggage from hostel. I think my soul is still in corridors of hostel.
May be I am not best technocrat with bursting technical knowledge but what COEP made of mine is my approach. COEP made me to dream bigger. COEP made me to believe in myself. In extra curricular, I participated in only Mashal dance. I didn’t have more participation in other extra curricular activities & I feel very regretful for that. The period come in life when we get stalled, we find everything is saturated, bounded – for me that period was in COEP. I don’t want to articulate reasons behind that, but I want to state “Person learns from his mistakes rather than from success” & same was applied for me. Quoting dialogue from movie happy Days “I didn’t came to college to achieve medals, but I came here to achieve capacity to achieve medals” & I think I achieved it even with CGPA 6.56. I learned here from circumstances, from struggle, failure. But I enjoyed these entire things. I will always cherish all these jiffies. “Those were most happy days in my life, but Joining IIM is also beginning of most purposeful days.”
Now I will make the marvelous plan for “what to do in IIM”, I will analyze it, verify it, & it will keep on improving in a course of IIM. It will be a bible for me. It is one which will make my career distinguished.

Dream in reality........IIM Indore
So, finally my dream of IIM is in reality after a lot of risk, hard work, struggle, failure & patience. After rejection from 5 premier institute in India (IIT B, Kgp, D, IIM L,K in sequence.......later on 17/5/10 IIT kgp converted), IIM Indore gave me huge shock of life in form of my selection. The day 09/09/09 I resigned to 11/05/10 day of selection, I went through number of ups & downs. But I sustained to them & finally victory belonged to me. So folks, I will like to recap all those incidents in way of my admission.
On 3 Aug 2009, I resigned from my post of Assi. Manager - Lab in VMESI. But Manager told me to think once again & didn’t accept my letter. I remained firm on my decision to go for management career & resigned. So, 09/09/09 was my last day in VMESI. People gave me farewell party & I marched towards my target of IIM. I came to my hometown & started study. I didn’t joined class. But I took so many notes, books & question papers from my dear friend Dere. I filled forms of IIFT, CAT,XAT, JMET & FMS. I started study. I didn’t have any friend in our hometown to study with me. But my self motivating approach drove me to do hard work. I studied there till diwali & after diwali I came back to pune to remain in heat of preparation. I joined reading room. I studied for 8 hrs per day. I solved so many question papers. My first exam was IIFT in mumbai. It was OK. On 30/11/09, I have CAT paper. With cool & unruffled mind, I gave exam, I solved near about 35 question. I became relaxed after exam. However I got to know people had had attempted 45+ questions. So, slightly I went in gloomy mode. But I had to have gear up as I had JMET after 13 days. I gave JMET & after exam, I checked my answers with answer key & I found I may get at least a single call from IIT & I was happy. From my view, both CAT & JMET were of same difficulty level. After that, I came to home, now I was looking for job because I don’t like to get money from parent as I am 22+ year old. But I didn’t got it or might be my efforts were less. Then I came to pune for NEW YEAR celebration & next day I appeared for XAT which was highly tough & for me essay was disastrous. Next day there was result of JMET. I was eligible to apply. I applied for all IITs. Meantime, I was in rejection list of IIFT & XAT(in turn XLRI & GIM). CAT result was postponed. Subsequently, I was eligible to apply to IITs.
Now I was in dilemma to go for job or prepare fully for GD/PI only & decided later- To go for Full-fledged GD/PI preparation. I was sure I will get admission somewhere. My next GDPI was of IIT R. but I skipped it as it was too long. After long agonizing wait, CAT result declared. I wasn’t in for IIM A,C,S. I was again sad. But two days later, IIM L list came out & I was in. I had feeling of cloud nine. Within few days, I also had selected for IIM K & I. I got strong feeling that I will get admission somewhere. I skipped interview of IIT M & K. I attended interview of IIT B & Kgp & D. On 10/04/10, all interviews were finished. It was start of waiting time.
21/04/10 was date of IIT result declaration. I had great hopes from at least IIT kgp. But against my expectation I was dumped by IIT kgp & as expected I wasn’t in for IIT B. Also, I got rejected after few days by IIT delhi. I was in turmoil. My feelings of defeat had started to grow up. But I had hopes from IIM L. My IIM L interview was better than best ever. But interviews of IIM K & I were average. On 28/04/10, result of IIM L declared & to the greatest shock of my life, I wasn’t in for IIM L. I was completely devastated. I become totally numb. I found dark everywhere. I wasn’t able to think. I wasn’t able to understand where it went wrong. I guessed my CGPA (which is 6.56) is a reason behind my rejection. In mind, I started to accuse IIM L for giving so much credit to CGPA. I lost my confidence. I assumed I would be out of IIM K & I also and this is end of season for me as I also didn’t appeared for MHCET. I didn’t tell my family members about my rejection. Next day I packed my luggage (with CAT books & remained rough pages for preparation of CAT10) & came to Mumbai in search of job. I started to live with Vishwas in his flat at Sion. Internally I was broken. But I started to smile with friends. I was trying to boost my confidence with my positive attitude. I considered next year is one more chance for self improvement. I knew I deserve IIM, sooner or later I will be there. I have determination to go management & I have taken decision of management career & I need to stand by with it. My roommates in Mumbai were doing job. So they were leaving early from room & coming in evening. I was alone in flat. The day I was spending with ET & some books. I called some consultant also but there reply was “Right now we don’t have any opening but if we will have, then we will come back to you”. After their reply I was cursing myself for leaving job. Also most of time I was sleeping, but I had so many nightmares. The persons I didn’t meet last some months were coming in my dreams. Days were passing, I attended one interview also, but my profile was not matching with their requirement. Meantime, I also in rejection list of IIM K. On 11/05/10 morning, my balance in card came to Rs.34 considering the fact that most of time bill was paid my Vishwas. Also, I didn’t had room rent or any related accessory charges. So I had been looking huge crisis in future.
On morning of 11/05/10, my dad called me & asked about result. I clearly told him I have been rejected by all institutes. Now I am looking for job. He had disappointed because he has so many hopes from me. After call, I was on a way to cry. I had lost the battle. But also I determined to find job earliest & to start study of CAT10.
That was also a day of IIM indore result. But I wasn’t interested as I assumed that I would not be in. But also I have curiosity to check the result, in turn my rejection. At 3pm, I called Vishwas & I asked him to check whether results are declared or not. He inquired about my CAT regn no & DOB. I gave. After few minute, he called me & said “Are tu nahi zala select, jaun de, apan job shodu (You are not selected. We will search job.)” I said “Ok. I know that. Bye”. Before ending the call, he enthusiastically said “Bhai tumhi select zale ahat IIM indore madhe(you are seletced)”. I was in a shock. I told him please don’t make fun & tell me true result. He repeated again & again but I wasn’t able to believe. He gave mobile to his colleague & he also said “I am selected”. I can’t describe my situation of that moment. I said OK to him & ended the call. I called another friend Charya & asked him to check result & he replied I am selected. Now I started to believe that I am in for IIM I. I was on half pant. I wore shirt & came down to building & by bus I went to Net Café. As afternoon time, it was closed. I agonized. I went forward in search of somewhere near. My friends started to phone me & congratulate. But I was still uncertain about result. I wandered in that area & got a Net Café. I went in & checked result & I found I m in for IIM Indore. ONE OF THE HAPPIEST MOMENTS IN MY LIFE. I was on top of world. My eyes became wet. I remember a stint in movie “Pursuit of Happiness ” in which W. Smith get job as broker after tremendous struggle. “that part of life, that little part of my life is a happiness.” I thank GOD for converting my efforts into success. I was entirely shivering. I called my dad & told “I am selected in IIM”. He also became happy. I really can’t describe that time in words. I came back to room. I was alone. I played song “God tussi great ho” on my mobile & started to dance. I had become mad.
In evening my roommates came. That was party time. They had to go early in office. Still we were in bar till 3 am. Next day I departed Mumbai & came back to hometown via pune. My dream of IIM has come in reality.
The most important thing which I again realized in my life is “PATIENCE & STRUGGLE”. These words have supreme importance in our life. If you have done hard work, then you are bound to get what you want, sooner or later victory belongs to you. Just believe on yourself.
on 17/05/10, I got mail from IIT kharagpur that I am selected. But i m nt joining....

Our Rajasthan royals is Out – I am so sad.
So as expected by most of you, RR is out of IPL. It has been so bad for me to see such performance of players & team I am supporting. There is also one more bomb – Our main bhai – Shane Warne may not be available for next IPL. But I hope he may be at least in form of Coach for RR. Also, in next IPL, there will be a new players for RR. IPL authorities have allowed to retain only 4 players of previous team. So, it will be a tough call for RR for selection of 4 players. Hence I agree with opinion of Sachin Tendulkar for allowing 8 previous players in team.
When it comes for analysis of defeat of RR, I think inexperience cost them. No chief player in team gave them disadvantage. When it comes for batting line-up, I respect Shane’s decision to play Yusuf at lower order, though it has been criticized by many. Because he has played fabulous innings at lower order in previous IPL & upper line up of RR is not especially different then previous. But batting form of all players had cost them a lot. As Smith was injured, there was no perfect opener. Lumb was good but Ojha is not one. Ojha lacks in technique & he need flat pitch to perform. If we look at other team, player at one –down position is strongest one in team, but RR didn’t have that one. Middle order was completely out of form. Slog over hitter Yusuf pathan played only 2 innings out of 14. As compared to batting line-up, bowling was good. But I didn’t understand why Shane benched Tait & Munaf after few matches. Also, continuous team changes degraded team performance. Anyway, it was past.
I hope in next season, Shane will be there with Yusuf, Watson, Trivedi. Also, they must select experienced players in team.

Is this a start of struggle???
I am feeling to cry. I am so tensed. Today results of IIT Bombay & kharagpur are declared & I am not in. Also, I had skipped interviews of IIT Madras, Kanpur, Roorkee. Only left is IIT Delhi & its interview was not good. So, I think dreams of IITs are destroyed. Now all hopes on IIM. I don’t know what the path ahead for me. May be I will get rejected by IIMs, I will not loose courage. I will not say my preparation of months is squandered. I have learned in this a lot & its the way of thinking. I will stand by with my decision of management career. I know I deserve IIM, sooner or later I will be there. If they accepted me, then I will be on top of world. In next month, I will make best ever plan for activities in MBA course. I will work hard. Because now I am in rhythm of improvement which is backed by my indomitable determination .

ALL interviews are completed………waiting for result
Its my post after long time. I won’t say - busy(?) with my interviews, didn’t have time……so on. But actual reason I was & I m so tired because of this admission process. I don’t know what going to happen with me.
What I have to do is nothing other than to wait.
I will like post my feel about my GD/PI experience.
Having calls of all IITs & 3 IIM (L,K,I), I had taken risk of skipping interviews of 3 IITs (K,M,R). I expect admission in one of institute. God, please help me.
SJSOM, IIT Bombay experience: 5 Mar 2010
GD was Ok. Slightly fish market. I came for 3-4 points. My performance was average.
PI – not so good. I don’t expect. But lets see.
VGSOM, IIT Kharagpur experience: 12 March 2010
GD was very well. I opened GD & gave infrastructure to discussion. Very well.
PI was also better. I don’t know what they expect. But I expect admission from them.
IIM Kozhikode experience: 26 March 2010
GD was complete fish market. So many people are talking at a time. I can’t believe future IIM student were behaving like this. I was so quiet. Came only for 2-3 points, were not so impressive.
PI was completely academic oriented. In 1st ques, he told me “answer if you know, otherwise say don’t know”. So, in academic questions I was fully fumbled. I don’t have any chance of IIM K. My dreams of IIM K are shattered.
DMS, IIT Delhi: 28 Mar 2010
GD was average. My points were OK. Above average.
In PI, panel surprising asked me about History of Shivaji Maharaj, Mogal. Also, in one of my answer, I used word ‘corporate strategy’ & person in front was Head of Corporate Strategy. I gave vague answer which later my friend told me it’s of business strategy. So, I think PI was below avg. Also, they short listed 800 & finally going to select 60. Little scope.
IIM Lucknow : 3 April 2010
Better than best interview. Have lot of hopes from IIM L. Essay was average. But GD & PI were superb. God please convert this . Please…………..
IIM Indore : 10 April 2010
Essay & psychometric test were OK. PI was average. In form, I had done one spelling mistake. But I gave two superb answers. But I think there wasn’t a rhythm in interview. So, I don’t know.
IITs result are on 21 April. IIMs will be near to that. With each passing day, I am becoming more anxious.
