It is tough. It is arduous. It might be the most difficult time you’ve ever faced in your life. But you are baptized by fire. There’s no end to how much one can learn from these demanding times, about oneself, about the world, before one realises it sets you up for the future. Corporate competitions, business challenges, mind-bending case studies, presentations, projects, the list is endless. The watch never stops ticking. But these experiences and the soft skills one develops over the course of the same propels one towards excellence. It is this doggedness to never give in, it is this malleability to adapt to trying circumstances and deadlines, which are seldom ungodly, and this immunity towards unconstructiveness that shapes a SIBM student, differentiating him or her from the chaff, catapulting one during the internships. This is the period where theory meets practicals, and you understand that everything you’ve learnt so far stands for not! These learnings from the internship give one a real feeler of what the world awaits and expects. And in a way, it hastens up some neurons in the brain that one may never have discovered before.

And one realizes the true power of collaboration. And before you know it, Vritaanta | March 2018 you’re cracking competition after competition, and reveling in short-lived gusto and glory as season 2.0 is fast approaching. But this winter isn’t as cold and dreary as the last one. Perhaps you’re a year older, but a decade wiser. Submissions at the ghost’s hour? 4-hour sleep cycle? I sure can handle it. As the season ends, you realize that you’re finally free, and probably free for the last time, as the real-world beckons. Making new memories every day, rejoicing and indulging in fitness, cricket, sports, food, and the city. The options are limitless, the time isn’t. As I walk past the Aqua Point after almost two years since my first day on campus, I can’t help but be overwhelmed with emotion. The silent breeze, the whistling leaves, the solace of the green, it’s been like a dream. I look up with the same teary eyes as I did on my first day, and I see the sparkly stars. And I can’t help but wonder: “ ” Vritaanta | March 2018
