The Queen B :)

IIM Bangalore, a dream for many... I am living that dream. The Place to 'B' is everything I'd imagined, and much more...

It has been an incredibly long and eventful year, a year replete with revelation, disappointment, exhilaration, anguish, celebration, disillusionment, what not. An entire year dedicated to one cause, and its all been worth it. I have never been so emotionally charged, so satisfied and so intelligent (yea, sue me for modesty!) ever before. From the outside, it looks like a smooth ride, but I know what a roller-coaster it has been. I've seen the highest highs and the lowest lows. I've made millions of new friends, and I've lost a lot of people. I've hurt and been hurt. I've fallen and risen again. I've trusted and questioned, myself and others.

Today, I am happy. I've evolved, from an unsure graduate, fresh out of college, to a more confident, self-assured individual. I am less vulnerable today than I was a year back. As I sit in my room at IIM B and look back, I realize that this year wouldn't have been half as awesome had it not been for the people around me. My mother was my wall, my brother, my escape route.. My friends, my incessant punching bag ;). There are a lot of other people who I cannot name for reasons of my own, but who were probably more instrumental than the people I've mentioned above, in making me what I am today.

I love it here. Big words would spoil the beauty of this statement. I absolutely love it here. I, however, personify the human tendency to want more. This is just the beginning, there is so much more to do, so many more places to go to, literally and figuratively. When I was leaving Jaipur, someone very close to me told me that people love me, not for my success, but for the person that I am. And that I shouldn't ever lose touch with who I am and who I should be. I strongly believe in the power of the soul, and the need to search within, hence, the title of my blog. Concurring with what my soul twin has written here, I believe we are all here for a purpose which may not just be finding 'the one'. It could be as arbit as World Peace. The realization of that 'purpose' is the difficult part, execution is secondary. And in the process, we must not forget who we are and what we mean to people around us. I'm sure all this sounds very cliched, but this is what I live by.. And now, I am rambling :)

There's so much I wanna write.. Will be back.. xoxo
