Dream Come True!!
April 22nd, 2007 will remain special to me throughout my life...this is the day my MBA convocation was held when I graduated from Great Lakes Institute of Management.
Its been quite a journey reaching this far...I have always wanted to do my MBA since my engineering days..If fate would have permitted, I would have done it then itself..but no, there was something elso in store for me...I worked for nearly 5 yrs and then joined Great Lakes. I could very clearly see the reason why I was destined to do my MBA now..the amount of learning that happens once you join school after a rich stint of work-ex is simply phenomenal...it totally enhances your thinking and outlook about so many things...will not dive deep into this area as the learning I have had is too close to my current job.
What I like most about the convocation is that it was blessed by Mrs. Sudha Murthy's presence. A human being I admire from the bottom of my heart ( I have written at length about her in my earlier posts)...my respect for her has increased beyond imagination after meeting her in person. The lady living up to her simple lifestyle turned up in a cotton saree and hair decked with frest Jasmine flowers. In her address to the gathering she emphasized on her simple beliefs that give us utmost pleasure in life and urged us to take time out to live one's life by being contended, instead of just chasing money at the cost of not enjoying what you have on hand - the lively dinner that you have with your parents, the simple walks you go for with you spouse or the time you spend getting your child do the homework - all this bonding cannot be replaced by earning millions..the lady quoted a real-life experience of one of her students about the same in less than 10 mins address and left the entire audience spell bound with her simple speech that had such a profound meaning..Ma'am I am so glad that I took my degree from you...I will ever be thankful to god for this opportunity!
So, the dream come true caption of this post is for dual reasons - primarily for meeting Mrs. Sudha Murthy and secondly for having earned my MBA degree!:))
