A thing called IIFT..

This is my last day at IIFT; MBA(Mediocre but Arrogant) is done.. 2 years rushed by like a reverie.. lots and lots of stories unfolded..photographers pined for that one picture of their favorite actor/actress whom they had adored for a while.. the floor did elevate itself with the sheer presence of the histrions.. life and emotions oozed out lucidly for a while.. there was a certain unexpressed numbness.. then there was a complex Silence.......... and a soft smile down the corner.

I discussed 'Walden' again with my juniors. Manoj had gifted this thought a year ago.I remember we shared ideas till the wee hours of the morning.I did meet some friends whom I wanted to meet. I bid adieus to some people which I somehow yearned to..winks..I spirited my spirits for a while...mixed feelings did crop up.. One full year of IMF was finally over...... ah.... such a relief!! And a drop of tear fell off the cheek... & I guess I wanted that....

Reminded me of the paradoxical commandments which I picked up from Mother Teresa: & I wanted to preserve it somewhere...

'People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight.
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis
it is between you and God;
it was never between you and them anyway.'

I hope I stick to my path..n I hope I am the same!!
