The Great Leap...

Classroom beckoned after an excruciating wait of 91 months. What looked like a never-ending hiatus with studies was finally bridged last week when I found myself slouched uncomfortably among a heap of intimidating, high-sounding fat books, and a bunch of enthusiastic people drawn from all corners of the country.

Leaving behind the security of a decent paying job, cosy confines of home and care of family, I landed at IIM Lucknow Noida campus welcomed by a surprise shower. And yes I didn’t miss the evening pakoda-chai, which as I feared has become a regular feature at our mess.
