My Journey..people call it life!!!

Guys, this is the first time I am writing a blog.

I will start with my journey whatever I have gone through, the mistakes I commited and my learnings.

When I was preparing for IIT JEE, I just had one dream in my life..that was just to crack IIT JEE. This exam is so much prevalent in North India that I doubt if any one was able to escape from it. I was no different. However, we doesn't get everything what we want in life. Unfortunately I found my self to be a part of the crowd bearing the loser looks. This was my first meeting with failure and disappointment. But life does not stop and one must learn to move on in life. I did the same and looked ahead with other alternatives. But I guess people who have high dreams cannot stop at any point. They look for ways to reach their destination in some way or the other.But what about people like me who represent that mass majority of people with common desires but limited means but high dreams. Each time we fail, we think is it because I am not capable to achieve this or I don't have the right to think big and change my destiny as I am born in India where to achieve what you want, either you have to be the brainiest of the person or rich enough to buy education.Unfortunatley I was none of them but still have the desire to fly high in life.

I don't remember exactly when I started fancying MBA. I think it all started when I saw one of my college senior getting through IIM Ahmedabad. What attracted me was that I could easily identify that he is no more part of the crowd. He is different, and this is what I want to be. At that time the objective was to be different and to be in the elite few and after seeing this guy, I thought this is the way to achieve this.I started preparing for MBA but not with that earnestness. In between my college placements started.

I was able to crack Wipro and thought that its a big achievement so much that I gave up my MBA plan for the time being and thought of gaining few years of experience and then go for higher studies.I thought I no more belong to that crowd and if not completely but certainly the journey has begun to be among the elite few.
However, within few months of joining Wipro I realised this is not the place where I wanted to be, so I again started preparing for MBA(this time with full vigour) hoping that will join some B-school this year to get rid of this life. I failed to crack any of the B-school exams and then I realized what a mistake I have commited by discontinuing my CAT pptn in college. But time has already flown away and I cannot continue to waste my precious years of life in just "trying" things and consoling that next year I stand a chance. I thought patiently and tried calculating my realistic chances of cracking any reputed B-school next year and realized that now I cannt afford to take chances and better look for alternatives at the same time keeping in mind my objective. With guidance from my father I thought of writing GRE and some how try to save 1 more year getting wasted. After some research I realized I am already quite late. But still thought of taking the plunge and with few days of preparation(100th fraction of what i did for CAT) I wrote GRE and got OK types score. I started applying ,in fact when ppl were getting to know their results I was applying to universities at that time. But still thought of giving it a shot. Atlast I got three admits from good universities. But now the problem was financial requirements. I belong to middle class family. Cant even think of taking 10+lacs of loan.
But then to my surprise I got a mail from one the univ, i have got admit that I have been considered for financial aid. I was elated didn't have words to express my feelings. Now I am planning to join this univ.
I think after going through all these struggling days I have realized that efforts can never go in vain.There is some one watching you and if you are ready to take few steps he will help you to take giant leaps.

I still nurture my dream to do MBA but this time I have a strong reason why i wanna do it.
