Hi Sundar,

A great read. I am also from NITT and now at IIMA. It is very funny how we have differed and how we actually come to the same conclusions. I had max fun at NITT. I actually ended up doing all those things which you thought you should have done at NITT. I cant remember how many gang treats I was a part of at NITT. It was just bliss. Those films and gangs and vetti talks. But by the time I joined IIMA, I was a changed person. I had all this desire to succeed and stuff and hence put max fight here and have ended up in a very decent position academically. I was actually guilty that I had not studied at NITT and hence decided that at IIMA, I would be a changed person. I was very serious at IIMA, never went out much, went for one gang treat. Did not participate much in anything, things which I would have loved doing at NITT. I just decided that IIMA is the serious part of me and no NITT Bull Shit here. Now the 2 years are coming to an end and I have this feeling that there is nothing to remember from A. I regret having studied so hard. I regret not having made much friends here. I thought this great academic score would have given me happiness, but it was short lived. When I close my eyes, NITT comes to my mind and not IIMA. From a CV perspective I have cracked it. But from a life perspective, I feel I have missed something.

Sundar, nicely (or should I say, frankly) written… For sometime now, I am also having similar thoughts… When will/can I write a blog like this expressing all those?

Well, an excellent read..I guess you can become the next Chetan Bhagat writing stuffs that excite each of us who has been a part of such academia. Well, to some extent, I endorse the activities you wanna do, coz I have had a first hand experience living the kinda life u have lived till now, only exception being I am remotely as “successful” as u r (having graduated from NIT Rkl, XIMB without any ” gold medals” to my credit) but all I want to say is, God has destined us to be like this, I guess we cant do everything in life. That’s what I think, and I guess I am happy having lived the life

Hi Sundar,

I could relate to some of the things. Wish one could change the way we went about in the past. Having said that, I believe, leading a life we did is our own unique way of living and like the adage – The Grass is always Greener on the other side…. You have been an inspiration, just keep going in your own way!!!

Cheers mate and wish you a successful 2010….. Its going to be awesome

nice one.. I wonder how you can be so honest..!
Give me some mantra to be so..(i m serious)
I could relate at least some things from the article wid myself..but after listening to the ‘give sm sunshine’ song, I became very conservative about my past n don’t want to take up a chance. Maybe I m happy for whatever I did or I m not sure if I cud do them(at least) again. How do you maintain yourself when you know people gonna follow u surely? N how much of immediate future is always in your mind.. I mean how far do you see while planning to do something..? in terms of days or hours or weeks..plz do reply. Thank you. belated Happy new year!! wish you get all you need..
