No need to say good bye

We 30 "Trendsetter" or as Sunny called us 30 beads of necklace are parting ways after one year of fighting, night outs, sweat and blood and above all friendship for life. Its a season of saying bye to each other. Some of us are elated that they are joining the corporate world while some of us are still in the process of finding the job. While it has already started one by one people are leaving this place and carrying on with life and saying "GOODBYE" to each other . I feel "No need to say Good bye" as we are not parting for ever we are and we will be together for ever , not necessarily physically but emotionally. In this moment of parting season a beautiful poem from "The Chronicles of Narnia " (movie)

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye..

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye.


so friends keep in touch , luv you all

Trendsetters

Here we are, at Mumbai Business School - I already feel the burn out, it has been 3 weeks, I have 10 months to go... Financial Management is a bouncer... so was our first test - but it has been an experience to remember - as i had expected an experiece i will cherish for a life time... There were eyebrows raised on our initial trip to Dabhosa - we left at Mumbai to Dabhosa - at 5 in the morning... I dont even remember the last time when i saw what 5 AM looks like. Trust me - this was the ice breaker - we got to know our batch well.... we did the Rappling, River Crossing, we jumped from trees, trekking, mountain climbing... and guess what.. we all did it well... though we stretched our limits, we did it... No wonder we are called the TRENDSETTERS.

Since then, its been a grind - we ve been studying studyin and studying- Shiv Sagar is our second home ( the hotel below), college is our first - we sleep 4 hours a night on average, never knew we would hit the sack so late so soon - group studies, assignments, presentations, classes, tests... its all happening its all fun...

Info on MBS...

Plenty has been spoken about MBS on all forums – amidst all confusion and perplexity, I would want to write this post for all students who are keen on joining MBS.

· There have been a lot of questions raised about MBS and its fee structure – as a student today, I would want to state that the fees charged by MBS is nominal. Don’t look at 8 lakhs as a figure – weigh it against the quality of teaching, value of staff and the worth of exposure provided to students. MBS student would be taught by world class staff and faculty – it includes exposure at industries both in India and Abroad. MBS students would also study and intern in the middle east and Europe. Putting all these aspects into consideration – I guess the fees is nominal.
· The fees is by and large considered to be nominal when the returns are satisfactory. MBS would definitely provide good placements – keeping in mind the high profile board and faculty. For any details on placement – students can speak to Nidhi Rawool who is the program coordinator at MBS.
· Since the school is new, it is quite apparent that a lot of questions will be raised against its credibility – MBS is a school for students who believe in themselves, and would use the exposure provided by the college to grow… Students who expect the school to take them forward without putting in any effort – this would not be a school for them. As long as you have the purpose and the focus to study and excel – the school would definitely change the destiny of its students.
· Bearing in mind the seriousness of the program – students would need to have extreme amount of self belief, and confidence… believe me , those who are the best – don’t get bothered by factors like recession – to state an example – my boss at work is an MBA from a university is Nashik – but he is better than the best. MBS is here to create managers of confidence….
· Please feel free to get in touch with me at +919833414740 for any more questions to be answered. Cheers!!

The Voyage beckons!

Here I am, today being the 9th of March, exactly 2 months away from a journey that I will remember for lifetime. I still remember the day, when I first walked into MBS to give my interview… I met Nidhi Rawool the program coordinator, who got me well settled for my interview. I was interviewed by two exceptional personalities, Prof. G.S.Vasan, and Prof. Girish – I wouldn’t want to write much about them – anything said about them is too little. Once I had received the offer to Admission, little did I know that I would be meeting the CEO – Dr. Sunil Rai in a couple of days time. He is one person, who all MBA aspirants should meet. I don’t have words to express what I feel about the whole adventure so far.

By then I was already a part of a family, my new family called MBS. Mumbai Business School – which is located in Malad in Mumbai is my new home – my new center for education and learning. I would be joining this school in 2 months time, which is more of a formality – I already feel attached and associated with it. I already have innumerable experiences which I can recollect… I was a part of the video shoot, where I had awesome fun with a couple of my to be batch mates, I also met Mr. Bharat Dabholkar over lunch who is an amazing person by himself… Ever since then I have been interacting with fellow students and the support staff at school – the school very much feels like my home – I feel comforted and composed with every visit to MBS. I cannot wait to start off with the course… I can’t wait to meet more students…. I can’t wait to spend the next one year at MBS J
