I had a dream.
I had a wish
I had a desire

On the contour of these starts the journey of My MBA dream . I finally got that dream admit IIM S. which we call now as IIM ONE--> Indian Institute of Management Of North East.
As like any other person I had some initial apprehension about IIM S and its location. zillion of question were running in my head. so finally decided to pay a visit.
All packed I reached Shillong and next day .The Temporary campus is in the main city . One need to say the place name Nongthymmai and say old NEHU campus. jst dont say NEHU otherwise they will take u to new NEHU( North eastern hill University) Campus.
The Insti is on half and hr distance from the main city center.On the way it was so much crowded that I was stuck in traffic jam true!!! Traffic jam ..such is the number of taxis are there.
After a long dual with traffic. I was standing outside the gate of my alma mater. As soon I informed that I have been offered admission there . boy! I was given such a warm welcome by our dear colonel Gosh. man ! he is just one lively person. Our security in charge and such a zeal to make things happen there . I was given preferential treatment over others who were waiting to meet the Director. after few minutes I was ushered in the director's room . The kind of personality I encountered got me thrilled with every aspect of the two yrs I m gonna spend in this place. After getting all my queries answered I was allowed to take the tour of campus.
For 60 students the kind of place it is one word describes it all
"fantabulous"

The Hostels were also pretty neat. bathrooms all marble floored. I fond girls hostels better than boys there hostels were facing the valley side and what a beautiful view it has. Girls room also has been given feminine touch with all pick colour..n yeah hey have wooden flooring.. felt more like a resort room

After the campus visit and getting assured. I took the tour of other places and also went to cherapunji n Boy!! yes I was all in love. Major crowd that come there comprises of bengali . some nice beauty was and dressing was all the air is alot western
Got to discover some good food joints like city hat dhaba. There was even Vishal mega mart and all prominent bank branches like axis,icici,hdfc,vijaya et al

mesmerized I came back.
5 days to go till I become a part of these magical alphabets. I I M

There is a new wish which has started to find place in my bed time prayers. A wish to have more than 24 hrs in a day. Sometimes I look at my watch and swear y the hell i can see digit to 12 . the fourth dimension seems to b picking up speed and life length breadth and width seems to b a miniature quantity.

last Tuesday was the last day of the foundation course and I feel so sad having missed most of it Paul sir was awesome!! after the last lecture immediately we had to fight way back to audi. It was indeed a landmark day as the IIM Shillong becomes the first to enter CSR. yup we had a huge participation from NGOs of in and around shillong and I feel proud to know that m gonna part of it soon by doing a project for one of them

well that was not all of the action that happened that day ..then we had a surprise guest lecture from the industry and no other than ETV country head Mr Ayaz hussain having talk with us. whew! that was some serious media stuff.. so much inspiring to say the least I was :-O it went till 8 something in night..
