My Tryst with those 3 Letters

After those initial rounds of appearing all those entrance tests ( including CAT ) and debacles of not taking up anything , having heard enuf from buddies on " natti got in to this , Natti didn't take this... " ,Natti got admitted in this school , natti didn't take up this program " . " Mein abhi bol raha hoon ki Nattu kuch nahin karega , sirf bhat aur sabko goli doonga " , First it was NUS ,then NTU , then SMU , Great Lakes , REC Trichy , Take it from me Natti's list will go on , " I finally sat & decided that atleast I shudn't be wasting up all the time on what next & I decided to enroll myself at the 2 year Twinning MBA of pondy uni. at Loyola chennaiNow it has almost come to the fag end , and eventually natti would end up adding those 3 letter degree to his folder if everything goes well.

Its been a nice experience going back to the classroom after 6 years hiatus ever since i laid rest my engineering books & my drafter /drawing board .People from diverse background (social / cultural / educational/ demographic) with varied employment get to meet in a cubicle once in a week ,with very little room to have a batch buddy connection. Profs come and talk , run thru ppts and circulate handouts .

Many of those participants come up, wile away the time ( but end up clearing the papers). Sometimes I had felt very awkward in opening up and answering , as the whole class would look at me and the prof would later keep repeating my co' name ( Tata ,Tata... n times) .I had decided not to answer / interact many a times , as i never felt of a conducive environment where in others hadn't participated .This was in contrast to my engineering days sessions , when the whole lot used to just crack numbers and gobble complex kinetics or be it Heat .

Though its not a top notch prog & thereby nothing much to be pondered or talked about , this course has created an impact on me , which off late i have realizedBy gods grace , I had never been devoid of things i had aspired for ( modest aspirations )..A decent upbringing / schooling / a bunch of good child hood friends ( the network is still intact even after these 27 years ) & in pretty decent job at hand to fend for myself .

But this is not the case everywhere , ppl running away from home , having to discontinue regular stream and take up a job to support the family , ppl completing theri basic degree at their prime 30's , having in at a not so attractive job , so on a so forth .So these may be a series of abstract events , the bottom line is the same .This post is not intended on anything ,all I request is that , We the privileged lot have to time and again think , things are not the same with ppl around. The world is only gonna be even more worse . Always have a intro / retrospect on things around you. Now that many of our buddies in the GUMBAL have entered in to the parent hood , it would only a prudent task to take ur kids planning .
