Become your own teacher


Simply put , the title of the post means quite a bit, a thought presented to us by a visiting faculty whose profession is that of an account planner. Well anyways, came third at IIM Lucknow which ain't bad but not as good as the first 2 places. Nevertheless considering the lack of expertise in any of the domains on which we were made to compete i guess it is a good enough achievement. Back to campus classes engulfed me with full fury.

I am back to the restless mood of mine again. Feel like taking a swing at myself. One of the hardest things in life is to discipline oneself. Just cant get that right. The more i read and more i interact and the more i listen to classes the less educated i feel. Shit loads to learn and read about. Human ignorance is really a bane. Would love to be a lot more intuitive and aware. 26 days down this term. Have done a few things right and a few things very wrong. Mind still feels like a blank and do not feel that i am learning anything. Hopefully i am assimilating in some corner all that i read and hear about.

i am reading a lot more than before but upto satisfying levels. At the end of my MICA experience i am hoping it won't be just experience that i would be taking back with me. Hoping for a little bit more than that. To be aware of a lot more subjects. Not necessarily academic. It could be as regular a thing as coffee or history for that matter. The investment i am making at this place is huge. 2 years of my life. I am 23, i keep reminding myself of that, i need to get things into perspective. Need to remove the chalta hai attitude. Induce discipline in my life. By that i do not mean a military type regiment but something that keeps a person focused. Quite a struggle and am getting battered presently but will persist. Change after all does not happen overnight and i am not too late to start this as i know that i am a stubborn bastard at the end of the day.

by 2010, 7million tonnes of coffee would have been consumed by people all over the world.
