I know India got freedom at this hour.The freedom is in real sense or not is still a debatable issue. But I am not talking of that I am talking of this midnight hour when we are in a transit between January 2007 and February. At the stroke of this midnight hour I look back at the past one week. What a week it was, a life time experience in true sense. I got a chance to visit the mecca of Indian B-schools,IIM-Ahmedabad.Its a place where you see how dreams look with eyes opened.The IIM-A is very right when it says "Don't say sky is the limit,there are footprints on the Moon".
I also was one of those lucky people who saw there dream materializing in front of there eyes. An experience you can cherish till the last breath of your life. I will always remember those rocking DJ nights ,those live shows of junoon, silk route, remo and many.I would remember those winning celebrations,those practices till midnights,the camaraderie our whole batch shared. Above all I would remember those words of the judge,who said "The first prize obviously goes to Saurabh Roy"
And now here I am in my hostel room no 11 with my room partners,who quite unusually have slept,with my eyes closed and mind opened.That cheering crowd,those clapping still rings in my ears.The sense of happiness when you are appreciated for a quality you always tried hard to inculcate,the sense of a hard earned victory fills my heart and soul with a unusual sense of calmness and gratification.Though the pain of loosing out in Dramatics and group song still hurts, but I've no regrets, we gave our full. I always believed winning is very important,no one remembers the second,but its not the ultimate. The ultimate is participating with your full might and capacities,which I firmly believe we did.
Thanks to LBSIM and friends for such a wonderful experience.
At last I would say At the stroke of midnight hour when the world dreams I lay here in my room no 11 thinking about the dreams I saw coming true in front of my eyes.Now I won't say that sky is the limit because I have left my footprints on Moon....
