My First day of MBA
July 26th 2004.
My First day of MBA
My only reason to join MBA was because there was no reason !
I entered the classroom , this was the very moment I was waiting for.I was back in College, the feeling was amazing and I felt a lot more energetic and enthused.I reassured myself that I am going to make the best out of these two years and make it as memorable as I can.
The class room was pretty big and was like an amphitheatre. It had excellent lighting and accoustics.The room had a seating capacity of 120 and was in fact very colorful, filled with students roughly of my age , hue and size. I was searching for a decent place to sit and inevitably found the last seat the most exciting & appealing and I occupied it. I enjoy the last bench because it keeps me engaged in people-watching. It is really fun to watch people on the first day in a MBA class because there are these constant arguments and power struggle where people try to guage and make hasty judgements to arrive at a fairly right or wrong opinion about individuals.
Lets Focus on Me
I sit tight, waiting for some beautiful or okay ,reasonably beautiful or okay ,pretty or okay ,reasonably pretty or A GIRL for that matter, to sit next to me, for heaven's sake what do you expect me to do !
I was overwhelmed when this pretty girl came and sat next to me. She Introduced herself and started chatting about the obvious. I got carried away in the conversation and i felt like I knew her very well.My Heart was pounding and was about to ask her , whether she would like to join me for a cup of coffee !!!
The Prof entered the room with a BANG ! and My COFFEE spilled all over.
The prof was in her late 30's and surprisingly was looking a lot younger for her age or I dunno if it was just me. She eulogised a lot about the school and why it was so important to be a part of this school and blah blah blah !!!
For the next 2 hours I went into hibernation . I later came to know through my Friends that she kicked two guys out of the class and was one real Bitch.
I found this girl very friendly and our conversation kept going , It went on to the next level , we started exchanging pieces of paper with crisp messages and little smileys on them.
I guess I started flirting with her and realized that she was flirting too!
I felt now I should ask her out for a coffee and just did that ! My heart skipped a beat when she accepted it. My happiness knew no bounds , I was basking in the pleasant feeling surrounding me.I considered myself very lucky and started planning out the evening. I started to think about the possibilities , which were numerous and narrowed it down to those which were realistic. I had a PLAN 'A' and if that went wrong due to unavoidable circumsatnces ,I had a PLAN 'B' and finally a contigency plan ready if i really screwed up the evening.
I am a way bit crazy , amn't I.
So as the evening approached , I took her to the nearest coffee Day and spent the entire evening with her. We had a nice time and discussed everything under the SUN. she seemed to like my company and was hinting on goin out again.
Finally it was time to say goodbye.I dropped her back at her home, bid her goodbye and was about to do the Obvious or the not so obvious.
I heard a loud ring !!!!!!!!!!!!! No No No , Not what you are thinking !!
The wretched noise did not stop. I tried my best to avoid it , but it became louder and louder. What on Earth was that !!!!
It was my alarm for the morning class at 8:30. Oh crap. Was it a Dream ! Yes Indeed !! I got up late for my first class dreaming about my first class. The class was at 8:30 and it was already 8:30. I quickly got up and finished my ablutions. I didn't want to be late on the very first class of my course.I rushed downstairs but the college bus had left. I tried for an auto and in fact tried to wave my hand at a Tractor which was carrying grass, No luck. It was already 8:55 and I had to run all the way to the class. The class room was in the third floor and as lady luck would like to play her pranks with me , the lift was not available.I had to climb the stairs and in the process missed a couple of them and hurt myself badly.
What a way to begin !!!
I finally reached the class at 9:05 and that is exactly 35 minutes late. I was trying to think of an Intelligent reason to justify why i came late.I realized that I could not find a reason intelligent enough. I wanted to take my chances and to experience my first class. I knocked at the door and peeped in to have a glimpse of the class,in case she drove me out , i might still be happy to have got a glimpse of the class.
I asked her to excuse me for coming late , she acknowledged and asked if i belonged to her class. I told her that there was some confusion with the course and the location and that , i had wandered off searching for the classroom.
She asked me to get in and I had no choice but take the last seat. The entire last row was empty.
The classroom did not even come close to what I had dreamt of !!
The prof was indeed in her late 30s or early 40s but looked a lot older than her age.She was not good looking and was too cocky.
The classroom was not colorful as i had dreamt. It was in 16 bit color or more
appropriately MONOCHROME.
I kept waiting for that pretty girl but realized only a guy (read: fool) like me could come to the class half an hour late on the very first day of his course.
I felt very ashamed and sorry for what had happened. I felt like apologising and decided I would do that after the class was over.I went again into hibernation as always , and woke up after two hours. The class was over and people were begining to leave the premises. I waited for everybody to leave. I went over to the prof and apologised profusely for what had happened and promised her that it would never happen again.she acknowledged it and gave me some Gyan on that, How she used to be
late to her class and how she changed her habits with an incident similar to mine , and blah blah blah blah !!
FINALLY the ordeal was over ,
I had learnt a lesson.
I decided that henceforth
" I WILL NOT ALLOW SUCH AN INCIDENT TO HAPPEN AGAIN ".
From then onwards there was no looking back.
"I WAS NEVER ON TIME FOR ANY OF THE CLASSES " !!!
Thats
I , Me , Myself
