It was funny when it started. Going to classes seemed like going to school. After almost four years of regular full time job, when I finally decided to pursue M.B.A., the best thing to do was to join some coaching classes for GMAT..
The first thing I did was get myself two notebooks, a pen and a writing board.It was funny when before giving me the board the shopkeeper asked “mam kausa exam hai?” I got annoyed and just said yaar koi exam nahi hai …aap bas koi bada sa writing board de do”. He finally gave me a big writing board with 4 big smileys painted over it. I could nt resist but smile.The very thought of dealing with paper and pen was exciting.It was the day for my first class. I got the notebooks and pen in my bag. Wore thick sweater, socks, shoes and a muffler. It was a chill morning of December. For the first time in Gurgaon I thought of taking an auto rickshaw. It was already loaded with six people at the backside and three hanging in the front area. I got inside the back seats and almost hanging covered this distance till class.
In the class I found my three other classmates. All three were also a working lot. And then there was a Maths Teacher, whose brilliant strategy and love for mathematics overruled mine and contended me. It was a pleasure to discover the other three classmates were equally delighted and had an equal interests in mathematics. It seemed like my school days. All of us striving to get the solution first.Age is no barrier I thought … and at last happy to spend my time in the best possible way.
So this how it started . Maths had always been of my interest and it is what I am busy in right now. So going to classes has become a regular practice now. On my weekends, I don’t waste my time sleeping till late afternoons…. and wake up only to realize that I have nothing to do but sleep more. Instead run for my classes with my backpack behind to just attend those wonderful maths classes. The pleasant morning with sunrise seems so freshening. Though my roommates sometimes tease me saying the kid is going to school yet I am really happy. Touchwood!!
