It started just like a normal day, but it was a special day. Though it never seemed special and with no hopes of being one. It was Holi and the celebrations were bound to be marred by the ongoing “End Terms” at the lesser well known management institute(LWKMI). Though I am an enthusiastic person when it comes to celebrating festivals, I was not sure what I was going to do on this one. Going home was out of question for the reasons mentioned above. Some of the more enthusiastic fellas of LWKMI promised a SPlash filled holi but I was spectical about the claims.
It was almost 10:00 am in the morning and nothing significant had happened, so the remaining hopes also died off. But then I heard something, some sound of celebrations. At the same time, Ashish came to room and asked if we were going down to play holi? Offcourse we were. As we went down, the more enthusiastis were already beyond recognition and we were welcomed by a Splash of golden mud. And the party began. It was short and sweet. Everyone had in the back of their minds the dreaded Business strategy end term, so it ended really fast, but not before everyone present there enjoying to the core. The cherry on the cake was the participation of the gurls from the batch, who were quite sporty and played with full enthu.
As I came back to the room, I realised that the crowd at SP was already divided into two groups. The first one, because of whatever reasons didn’t involve themselves in the celebrations (though the reason was the BPS end term) and the second one, which despite of all the reasons had good time with friends. I realised that MBA is all about this. Every day, every moment each one of us will have some or the other “ very important “ job at hand and on the other hand the little occasions of happiness. Now it’s our choice what makes the difference. I dont know for how many days I am going to remember that there was something called as BPS and the end term, but am pretty sure that when I remember these 2 years, I will surely search for the memories and the first holi will definitely be a part of it. It’s not that people who played holi didn’t care about their end terms, but more importantly they knew that this little celebration won’t affect much. These are the people who could actually clear the mental blockage.
This applies to life as well. Life is all about the choices we make and our choices are our half chance. I am not saying that people who didn’t play holi did something wrong, but I just wonder that spending 2 hours on something which will bring life long memory, I think ROI is much better here.

Hey Asim,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Blog Bandwagon bro!
A nice structured blog ( a rare one to find!)
Your taking from the Holi episode is quite true! Such small things do matter a lot, and it's all about how you manage with your work, studies etc!
Keep blogging!
Cheers,
KC
