Finally ...I am a XIMBian!

Hi! its been over 2 &1/2 months since i had written my last blog! And I must admit that a hell lot of things have changed since then! All my friends who were a few miles or so away from me are now out of reach! The place I used to study at has started to consider me as an alumnus! A few priorities of life have changed entirely! But all these have almost happened to most of my other friends, so what’s new? Yeah! There's a unique thing that has not changed for me....I am still a student!

A student of business management at one of the institutes where I'd always wanted 2 b...XIMB! Its not even a week now that I've joined XIMB but I've had a feel of it. The three days of induction made sure that I have landed in a different world and here the focus is on us coz now the country knows about the institute and are looking forward to its performance!

The first hostel life experience till now for me has been great as I'm in the 1st floor where the entire floor is inhabited only by me! Before u start envying let me tell u the other 15 dwellers of this floor are all PGP-II students.. better known a seniors.. so after they come back maybe in a couple of days, my opinion is subject to change! Coming to the rooms and all.. the hostel rooms are freshly painted and clean, with all single rooms and a well maintained corridor and bathrooms the ambience is quite nice! The mess is also good with food that can probably never taste good( I still miss my Mom's homemade food)! There are all sort of facilities for recreation also & very little to complain with around 16 girls staying in the gents hostel in one of the floors of a block this time!

Coming to the classes, I find a great flaw in them and believe that is the only flaw noticeable .They are AC rooms ;and after lunch how can they punish the students by asking them to sit there and ask them not 2 sleep!The auditorium ,the place where we have spent most of our time barring the hostel .is one of its kind and is very comfortable ! I don’t mind it being AC coz its so large that even if u r in the 3rd or 4th row..u can manage 2 sleep evading the speaker , and I am glad to say that i've successfully done that for a couple of times.

Now coming to the most important thing- my peers .Well by now I've made quite a few new friends apart from the good old ones I had before, but the threads are still very weak ,I believe every1's waiting for the classes to begin so that the strengthening process starts soon. The thing that catches my fancy though, is the variety of backgrounds and the variety of roots of people who have joined this place! Its amazing.. I am really looking ahead to be with all sort of people from the entire country to get a feel of a lot of things about which I hardly have any idea.

Friends, joining XIMB has pumped a new enthusiasm into me in a very short period! The loss of friends and the feeling of loneliness in me is vanishing slowly but surely, thanks to ximb. I dont know about others but frankly I craved to be here and here I am! I just hope that I can get the maximum out of it and then feel proud to be a XIMBian! I'll come back soon...
