If the mind takes the toll so far, it is the body’s turn to get into action at 6 PM. Thanks to the excellent sports culture at IIM Rohtak, an hour is well spent in the company of a volleyball or a football. Once the cardio is out of the way, many of us hit the gym before dinner. I and my close friends follow up the dinner with a tea meet at Café Frappe (the on-campus café), which is probably the best time of the day for me.
If you thought my day is over, then you could not have been more wrong. The real day begins at 10 PM, when I list down the things to do before sleep. There is almost always a lengthy case to prepare which would consume 2 hours in the least. This, combined with an assignment to finish within a deadline that always seems unfair and impossible. It’s already 2 in the morning (or night, depending on the way you see it) by the time I complete that stuff. That is when hunger strikes again and a 15-minute break at the night canteen comes to the rescue. Since I am preparing for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam, I have to burn the midnight oil and study till I achieve day’s target. By then sleep becomes dearer to me than anything in the world and for the next few hours, I sleep like a log.
At IIM Rohtak I work harder than I’ve ever had in my life, and yet it is so much fun. Even with all the hectic schedule, there is a perfect balance between study and refreshment. More importantly, IIM Rohtak is forging me in fire and I am sure I will come out stronger than before. Proud to be a Kathor!
