Life at MICA

The only word to describe my life at mica is ROCKING.just 6 mnths in to the course and have had one of the best experiences of ma life,Met amazing people done crazy stuff and kind of discovered a side that i thought i never had.may be this is why wise people say you should travel out side ur well defined cucoon to explore life and yourself.

It all started with my hunt for media and business Pg courses.Like always i had a plan a well defined plan which is seldom executed or even if i do it doesnot turnout to be the way in which i had thought it to be,like all things in ma life good at conceptualising but horrible at executing it.Well that apart its kinda wierd and funny but a week before i had stumbled on the mica ad in th times of India,a wierd thing happened on a sunday evening i was on the terrace sitting with rohan sai and pratik,three of my close building friends enjoing the night and drinking rum.Somehow heights have always fascinated me,It always gave me the feeling of being the king.The feeling of the world being being at my feet.Its a beautiful feeling and the monsoon drizzle just made the experience all th more fascinating.These are times when i feel like lookin at the horizon and screaming SOMEDAY I WILL RULE!!its a line that is the butt of many jokes that my friends keep cracking.I bought a t-shirt with these words imprinted on it renuka whos one of my closest buddies keeps telling me "ya someday is the day between sunday and monday..thats th only day you will rule..so keep fantacising"not that i have aspirations to take over the largest democracy of the world and keep it under autocratic rule eventhough i dont think its any different now just in the name of democracy..any ways its just that its this feeling and faith that keeps me going and peps me up that someday i would be one of the few to be featured in the forbes cover page.Well its a dream that many might just laugh at or call it unrealistic,but its just the hope thatwe could acheive our ultimate dream that makes life intresting.Someday i want to be a rupert murdoch or richard branson and i dont know if i will ever be there.But it doesnt really matter coz for me its the journey thats much more intresting than the destination.Even if i was never to be there i would die with the satisfaction that i had a dream and i tried.

so it was this dream that made me take the plunge into the not so glamorous but extremly exciting volatile and back breaking field of media,inspite of oppositions from my parents and peers,I thought its a feild that keeps me happy,and also that i get bored very easily so this was the perfect field where i could work on a lot of difeerent things.

so back to the terrace with ma friends and the rum,for the first time in ma life i saw a falling star so like all yo dudes who never admit that they believe in such stupid things but will be the first ones to adopt such superstition fundas of life so there i was wishing "plzz get me into mica..the mecca of communication studies(its all hyped up and utter bullshit).not that i had any hopes of my wish turning true.It was after two weeks that i filled the MICA pgpcme an entrepreneurship couse that i wouldnt have ever thought about but somehow i did and convinced my parents..i duno hw but like paulo Cohelo says in the Alchemist wen u want something the whole world conspires for you.In my quest for acheiving my dream i believe this is natures way of showing me the path.Quiet philosophical but its true man it freaks me out sometimes.a

Well i dont think dreaming big is funny or unrealistic. Whats life when u have no dreams! And dreams should be hard to get, if you get them easily then whats the fun of dreaming. I think ur blog was really good. It says a lot about you. Ur outlook towards life and how are you as a person.keep writing such amazing blogs. its a pleasure to read.
