Destination: Planet-i

A lot has happened since I last wrote. It feels rather odd to be typing out my thoughts again.
A LOT of things were happening in life, which is what prevented me from writing. In reality, all the things that happened were more or less so weird, painful, exhilarating, that it is hard to put them into words. Some of these emotions are so private, meant for solitary ruminations, that it really becomes difficult to express them, even aloud, even if it is just me in front of the mirror.
So, it all started when I got admission to IIM Indore!!! The enormity, as I once told Mihir, is yet to sink in. Unbelievable, but true. So the last 2 months have revolved around planning the minutest details of my travel and stay for 2 years at the Indian Institute of Management, Indore, India. That, and eating, sleeping, watching TV, eating, sleeping.
And now I am finally here. It is a tantalising feeling, I must say. Since noon, I had these weird feeling in my stomach. I wasn’t concentrating at things I usually do. The moment we left, there was a lump in my stomach, a burning down my intestines. The moment we turned the corner off AB Road, and glimpsed the IIM logo painted atop the water tank, I could feel myself bubbling with excitement like a 5 year old.
The location and the place is spectacular to say the least. Situated atop a hill (rather unoriginally named “Prabandh Shikhar”, which directly translates into “Management Mountain”????), it gives a breathtaking view of the entire habitation sprawled around it. In the distance are lots of mountains, in varying shades of blue, azure and grey. I first moved into the Hostel Blocks to get my room. I have been allotted B-218. Rather sad block to be in; it’s the oldest, hence the most unclean and un-cool .
I did meet a lot of the other denizens of Planet-i, as we call it. Most of them had arrived today, and had spent the larger part of the day unpacking, hanging about, finishing formalities. Now we all plan to meet for dinner, from there head to the Auditorium for the SWAC address (which probably is an excuse for ragging), and lastly the Euro Final at 12.15 AM. SO I really don’t know when I’ll be back to my room on my first day at IIM Indore.
Way to start! Cheers! Later.
