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.
