26th March, 2007 --- THE DAY of my life.
I have never been to any convocation ceremony in my life. So obviously this is one of those memorable moments of my life. I shook hand with Mukesh Ambani and Nandan Nilekani. I also shoot independent photographs with them. Now what else could be more satisfying??? For a moment I felt as if I have "almost reached there". The rigor of 2.5 years in PGSEM came to an end. I enjoyed every moment of it. I was such a confident guy in college today that I felt like jumping all boundaries to be a successful person in life. I was talking to people as if I have achieved something great in life. I was quite surprised to see that in me. Some of my friends realized the fact that I have changed in recent times. What else I want! I was so happy!!!
I saw Nandan and Mukesh. Some kind of internal calling came to me asking "Dude! When are you going to be on the other side?". Of course as before I didn't have a definitive answer to that. But I was enthused by the fact that probably I have got good amount of motivation to become one more "big guy" some day.
Mukesh Ambani's speech was quite moving. He is a shrewed guy and knows how to move poeple's motivation. But I didn't find the same in Nandan's speech. It was filled with more hard data. However everybody is different. I mustn't really compare. Both are great and truly great leaders of this century.
Finally the day ended with all I wanted, a nice certificate from IIMB. Ofcourse PGSEM has taught me a lot and won me a good bunch of friends. Let's see where do I go from here on!!!
