I am back!

Now that my endterms are over, hopefully I will get my dream B. Tech. Degree in computer science and engineering from IIT Kanpur. Its definitely a time to look back and realize that indeed something has been achieved! My best days of life has been the IIT JEE preparation days when I used to dream of a single digit JEE rank...I worked hard, missed the target by a whisker but I was a contented man. I got the most coveted department in arguably the best IIT :) Four years into my B. Tech. I am not a satisfied person. The sense of achievement and satisfaction that I used to derive out of my work has gone away. Today, I feel I could have used IIT a lot better to shape my career. Am I getting uselessly worried? Perhaps not! When a person enters IIT with the desire to be among the best and now if he is satisfied with a pass grade, something must have gone terribly wrong. The reasons can be many...Perhaps, his aptitude lies somewhere else. Perhaps, it was a case of burnout....Perhaps, .....
I always thought that these are lame excuses for failures. Now, I use them! The time has come to open a new chapter in my life i.e. IIMA. IITK has taught me some lessons the hard way. My father always used to say that if you fail, you learn more. Today, I know that one can never bask in past glory. Every milestone achieved is temporary. 99% of successful people reach their goal because of their hard labour and not because of being an oversmart chap.
I know I am not going to have my stay at IIMA a bad spot in my academic career. I am definitely going to rock this place, come what may!
