Moreover, even in this busy schedule, packed with assignments and case studies, the ability to take out time to interact, talk and communicate is something I possess now. The fast-paced life doesn’t make me more reclusive but more accommodating. I love the dark circles around my eyes because they speak of a sleepless night full of learning and knowledge through a case or maybe one with just laughter and non-sense talks, and it’s all worth it. Ever imagined when its an exam the next day, and the syllabus is a Movie? That is the kind of pedagogy an IIM exposes you to. I believe I would have worked harder if I knew what life at an IIM is like to make it here. Today, when I am here, I want you to put in your best because trust me its all great on the other side, I don’t know how great in terms of numbers but in experiences surely the richest one.
So, put your hearts out in the CAT preparations and meet me on the other side, but do remember if you don’t make it, there is a life beyond IIMs, but do try to make it through because IIMs are beyond life!

You certainly need to work on your writing skills. Hint: Start by reading about articles.

Then start working upon supressing the Grammar Nazi in you!! Don't think it's something to be proud of sorry, it's not me but the pragmatic observer in me

Hi Tanya! Your article was indeed a good read. One of the sentences read 'I believe I would have worked harder if I knew what life at an IIM is like to make it here.' I was curious to know how you would have worked harder. Since you're already there, on the other side - what would you have done differently?

Hey, reading this article made me both motivated (although i am not interested in MBA) and excited, the way you described the experience of iim made me feel like giving it all for CAT and get in there.. After all it's all worth it (as you said)... ;)

Is it very tough for an average guy(not from prestigious IIT's and NIT's to survive in the IIM?
