We are finally done with 1 term or lets say 12.5% MBA. Had a nice 5 day break, more so since the LDP for our section got cancelled at the last moment.. Made most use of the time.. Ate, slept a lot, watched 7-8 movies, did some of my pending jobs..

So, what are the takeaways/learnings from Term 1? Can’t talk about others, but for a person like, I guess, I was trying to learn to swim in the first term, thankfully, have done decent enough in that.. Now ready for taking bigger strides.. lets put it that way..

Term 2 starts tomorrow.. A lot more ground to cover in this term and not just academically.. Also, seems like this is the toughest term in ISB… But, I am not really too worried.. No, I don’t want to sound complacent or over confident, its just that the 6.5 years at Infosys has taught me one thing for sure.. After a certain level, you get immuned to the work stress and pressure and it doesn’t bother you any more.. the moment you start thinking like that, you end up with a cool head and you are bound to do better… As somebody said.."A symptom for nervous breakdown is that you are too engrossed and worried about your work"..

So, I bank on my learnings and declare.. "Bring it on!" Hope I don’t have too many surprises

Cheers!
