Its time for a change to come!

I have been posting a lot these days.Frankly I dont have a lot of work to do at this point and sit on the internet a lot.Anyway two things happened in the last 2 days which have made me keen on making some changes with my life.

First of all the results for the IIMC GD-PI process came out on the 10th.The same day they came out for us last year.The date brought back memories of probably the greatest day of my life.The 2nd thing was that today while coming on the metro I heard the early days song again after a long time.And this brought a flood of memories.It just took me back to last year when after I was assured a place at Joka,how I used to listen to this song time and time again.And these 2 things just made me realize of fortunate I really am.Studying at one of the greatest places on the Earth and certainly the greatest in India,I should be counting my blessings.Cant believe it has been one year already and that now we will be welcoming our junior batch.Frankly when I look back it has really been the greatest year of my life.

This made me think to myself-Why do I still keep sulking so much?Why dont I care about the place I am at?I have seen friends who have tried for 3-4 years to reach this place,friends who have been trying for 2-3 and still havent managed to get here.And sometimes I believe that maybe I got here too easily.

But I promise myself today that I will change.I will stop feeling sorry for myself.I have been so intent on looking at the depressing things in life that I have forgotten to look at the things that should make me happy.At this point,I just dont think that I love myself enough and its time to change that.Its time to change my source of gratification to something inside myself rather than to keep looking at people to make me happy.Its time to stop thinking about what I dont have and its time to enjoy what I do have instead.Coz however hard one tries one cant get everything in life can he?

Anyway as I close this I would just like to welcome the batch of 47/17 to IIM Calcutta.Would just tell them at this point that it will be the greatest daze of your lives as we like to say it.And to all my batchmates and friends,I hope we have another fulfilling year at Joka and leave a legacy behind for other batches to follow.I hope we are able to give back to this place because frankly it has given us a lot.
