....contd

I would have to say one thing as the day of my departure came close I was showered with more love, affection and care then i ever was from my family. I could say whatever I wanted, eat whatever I wanted,do whatever I wanted(I was a star!!).And why not the youngest member of the GUHA CLAN was about toleave home turf(Big Deal!!) I remember my father telling me that once I go to Delhi I should not indulge in any kind of unnessesary activities!!!(viz. smoking, drinking, fighting, flirting ...the list is endless) That was probably the first piece of GOOD advice he had given to me in the last 10years(Not that I expected any or I want any in future). I was really anxious and was waiting for the day I was supposed to leave...They say home is where heart is but at that point of time I really did'nt know where my heart wanted to be. My mind was in Delhi!!

Leaving Home

............contd Once back in silchar i had only one thing in mind( Actually quite a few things in my mind!!!) i had to finish my computer course and get out of there as soon as possible!!!! My computer teacher.....boy he needs a mention!!! helped me get through it as soon as possible!!! As the day of my departure( man i make it sound like a movie) came close for some apparent reason i didn't feel sad. I thought this is my chance my opportunity to do something that would shape my career forever(Yeah right!!!).....stood infront of the mirror gave a grin look at myself and took exactly 1682 ( i like to exaggerate) oaths, pledges, vows,swears and promises( i think all of them mean the same thing)....... Most of those i cant even remember and for those i can !!! well they sound stupid and more pathetic now!!!!

I came to delhi last year(2007) a few days before Kali puja for admission or rather for trying to get admission in MBA. Since my marks were a Light Year away from being the university topper, i guess i wasn't left with much choice of colleges. I short listed a few colleges-which i must add was a very short list with probably 2 or 3 names. i started calling them and trying to get a date for my selection, which i can tell you is not much as colleges try to grab whatever they can lay their hands on!! I finally decided on taking admission in Delhi Business School(Dont ask why!! i probably got impressed by the name or something!!!). Come to think of it i was not even sure i wanted to do MBA. Anyways i went to Assam as my session would start from January and i had a computer course to wrap up before that. At that moment having taken admission in MBA, i thought was a career defining moment for me, i felt like Neil Armstong landing first time on the Moon or probably like George Bush attacking afganistan !!!................
