I reached Pune a few days before I had to reach my hostel at Lavale. It is my first time away from home, so my mom was even more concerned than usual. We went to Shirdi, which was quite hectic. On the way, Western Ghats, the most worn out ranges of India looked magnificent as they flirted with dying sun's last rays. Ah, well, finally the day came. As I decked on the bus which would take us from S.B.Road to Lavale, it was a different feeling. I wasn't ecstatic, nor was I low. But, it was something different. Indescribable. Soon, I was travelling to Western Ghats. The city was left far below. Cool breeze and drizzle greeted as we entered the Symbiosis Knowledge Village. This amazing place carved out of a Ghat on 800 Acres of Land is breath taking. A campus life which I always wanted. I had it now, finally. Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM), my B-School. I was waiting to be proud of something. Now, I was - and it has just been a week's journey...

There are so many pending things that are just waiting in the attic to be dusted and made to work again. One of them is the mammoth task of physical share transfer and dematerialization. Though stated in one pretty sentence, it takes months of effort and work. And of course, money! My brother has been painfully going about the motions of this work for a couple of months now and nothing much yet seems to have resulted out of it. We struck a good deal with a certain Saraswati something shares. I asked, "How much would this one fetch us?". He replied, "Enough to recover the money you spent on your MBA degree". I exclaimed, "Really! Waoh! Even after they have been dormant for like 15 years??!". He quipped, in exasperation, "Weren't they supposed to teach you all this in B-School?" I did shut up and let him do this pain...
ummmm how does it feel now?
