JOY!

After being here for nearly 4 months.. therez one thing that describes it all… JOY! The ‘attitude’ went down the drain, the helpfulness bloomed, some started to come out in their true colours, others who were slow, followed suit. Tragedies formed the bond, Faith strengthened it, selflessness nurtured it, and friendship grew. There were a few hits and misses, but there came a stage when every one was there for everyone who came asking. People listened to those who asked, people respected those who deserved, and people got those with an attitude, down to the ground (for their own good). Today it feels a different place, today it feels a place where joy abounds. Its a place, where the future is not worried about, the past is not pestered about, and the present moment is lived with complete passion. Talent finds itself on the pedestal, knowledge is shared, hobbies are perfected… (assignments, submissions, presentations come out reflecting this).. to an extent that the talent just oozes out. People wish they were back with their folks, but in their hearts they know they will miss this place, that they will remember the madness some day and laugh in their hearts. That on a sad day, they will have these happy memories to cherish themselves. That they met 173 of the most talented people, and had the pleasure of calling them by nick names that they dare not call anyone. And that they stood by them, in the most self less and the most heart warming way, when distress came calling. Perhaps this is what an MBA is, perhaps this is when you feel Joyful, when others around you are joyful, and you feel happy when others around you are happy. Whatever be the time, however high the pressure, it’s moments like these that tell you, that all is not lost. That these moments of Joy you lived will be yours forever. Hope this happiness stays all the way… touchwood!. I am only trying to paint a picture with words.. when you see the photos you will see the personification of what I said
