Graduated!! 4th april 2009

It was the day i received my degree. Every one wore the scholar's gown and happiness was visible on every face. This was the day marked by our achievement, it stood as a testimony for all the hard work and fun that was a part of our lives for an year now. There is so much that has gone into our being in last one year, it was no joke. It was not just a piece of paper, it was a gate pass to the outer world. We all stood in queues in corridors smiling to be a part of a procession to a red carpet welcome, this was our graduation hall. Friends and families cheered and the look of proud and happiness was so evident on their faces. It was an amazing feeling.
Adressing the students were Arun Sarin, CEO, Vodafone, Deepak Jain, Dean, Kellogg, Rajat Gupta, Dir Mc Kinsey and Ajit Rangnekar, our very own dean. There was one common message from all, do good and do something for society while you grow. There were some good things to notice, one should be able to think strategically and manage people for sure to lead larger organization, rest everything comes there after. After the short speeches, ISB grads were called on stage and awarded the degree.
I was an engineer before i headed for an MBA. This was a moment which added to my education set and which added to my being. I trule cherish the day and i thank ISB for making it so special for all of us.
I miss you ISB, you made every moment of out time spent so special. I know i took a right decision and i am proud to own this degree. :)
