10 days to Live !!!

Beginning tomorrow I will be in IIM for the last 10 days. I guess now that I am free from any academic burden, I can think more.....think about life, friends, career, love and much more.....In my ethics exam this week, we were given the Steve Jobs speech to Stanford's graduating students....He talked about living each day as if it was your last....looking at it in a different way.....none of us ( I mean people I know have ever been able to do that...atleast for long)....Today as I sit down in my bed with boxes and bags to be packed....I have taken a silent pledge....To live these 10 days to the most....To make these 10 days memorable so that when I grow old and think about these days... I think of a blissful state which might not come back....

I want to smile when I think about these days to come...I want to feel the cold February breeze on my face...the sun playing hide and seek in the clouds...the pine trees....the church carol being sung in a distance....

I am an emotional person...a few friends often say....and I say yes I know...but I am emotional for people not places where I lived....But I guess living alone for the last 6 years has had an effect on me...I may not love this far flung remote town but I will surely miss it when I will not be here....

In a few days many people who shared these 20 months at IIM will be gone....few will be left in the days to come...I do not know if we all will be ever able to meet again...But I guess when ever we meet we will all remember the small rainy town of Shillong where we shared bitter sweet memories...memories of all sort....birthdays to farewells...dance sequences to case presentations....class discussions to bakar sessions...

In the following 10 days I would like to recapture those moments through my blog...

"10 days to waste....10 days to learn... 10 days in a far off hilly town... 10 days as a grad student... let me make these 10 days the most memorable 10 days..."
