What a year it was... and experience worth having. At first it seemed like life came at stand-still... we were running at the peak speed and suddenly got in a slow train!!!
I had a 2 months break from April to May before I joined Aditya Birla Group from June 1st in their leadership programme. All the planning was in place for visiting to Kutch, then going to Thane for attending KP’s wedding for couple of days, then heading to a silo in Vipassana, post that going to Koregaon – Mahabaleshwar – Thoseghar, finally going to Nageshwar. Wanted to go to Shirdi but that did not happen as Moulik was not well.
Felt like writing about each journey but skipped that idea as it would be too boring. But certainly felt great after ISB. The first change was no internet, no email and no work. What a relief it feels when you have all the time at your disposal. At times you also feel that internet and email have done more harm than benefit. I really felt at bliss not checking emails except when it came from ABG (and that too courtesy Aditya Satpute who informed me whenever there was a mail). But certainly we missed ISB, more than me Jinal missed it a lot. You get addicted to the atmosphere at ISB and is a bit difficult to come to reality after a year there.
A standard question after ISB was should you do MBA after doing CA and having five years of work experience? The answer would be a bit long and hence I have made a separate post.
All in all ISB was a refreshing break for one year.
