ISB "These are some of my favourite things"

The past 2 months since I joined HUL have been a lot of fun. I have clocked some serious air-miles over this period. I have been to Gurgaon, Mumbai, Varanasi, Balia, Jaunpur, Renukoot and Bangkok. Each of these places was an adventure. The fun of being in a FMCG marketing firm and especially HUL is that one sees all those Kotler fundas unfold real time. But that is a different subject the aim today is to write about what all I fondly remember about ISB. Come to think of it this is more to bring closure to the experience called ISB. The things that I remember from ISB are a mixture emotions and sensory experience that ISB is. So here goes, the LRC at 8 A.M with the spiral staircase bathed in the sunlight filtering through the glass dome on the top, the satisfaction after entering the last line on an assignment, watching rain drops fall in the ground outside my studio while I sipped a cup of piping hot tea, the open drapes in the class room while Prof. Rajeshwar Upadyay went over Lessons from world literature, a great sense of achievement just walking up to the Academic Centre from my quad, a sense of a welcoming home while heading from the Academic Centre to SV2 and the late night (I mean really late night) walks with Rano, the lunch group (Srav, Karthik, Jaggu dada and Sneha), the offer from HUL, the graduation day, the squash court and the twinkle in my parents' eyes when I graduated. ISB was a blast- a source of lifetime memories.
The year at ISB will keep coming back to me every time a cue gets thrown at me like the raindrops knocking at my office window right now!
