Thunders
in the sky…everybody is running to shelters to protect themselves from the
rain. I have also found one shed in front of a small tea shop. I have bought a
cup of tea and while standing over there, thoughts started flowing in my mind.
I see the rain drops waking up the flowers around. I see the plants smiling and
enjoying the rain. Meanwhile when I turn around, I see a small girl playing
with the rain drops falling at the corner of the shed. Her father tries to warn
her not to play in the rain. But she keeps on playing and enjoys with her heart
full of joy. While everyone is running to protect themselves from the rain,
this girl enjoys it. What a different perception! I realize that we don’t see
the happiness involved in the small things around us. We are all running for
something that is materialistic. But we forget the present happiness in what we
have. We forget that there is beautiful nature around us, people moving around
us, to smile at our peers, to rejoice every second, to thank God every second
for what he has given us. We live in our own world, our own mind, make things
complex, relationships complex and lose all the joy in the present. Life is not
just about achieving the goals in terms of material things but also living your
life happily. Relive the joy…awaken the child inside you…feel the rain…feel the
nature…smile at people…Have a good sleep…Have a healthy lifestyle…Live happily…Live
the Life. :)

LIFE AT GREAT LAKES
"Oh my God!!!hurrayyyyyyyyyyyyyy....." this was my scream when I saw the mail "Great Lakes-Welcome aboard". It was 16th May,2014 . Celebrations all over India because NAMO got elected as the Prime minister of India. I was also enjoying the crackers sounds. Then I received the mail and I felt that it was not only the change for India, but also a big change in my life also.
Being from an Engineering background, I have joined the IT sector and worked for 14 months.Life used to be good. 5 digit salary pay every month, corporate culture, weekend freaks etc,. But deep inside the heart, there has always been a strong zeal to do something more;something which I really want to do.My passion for Management work has motivated me to give CAT and fortunately I got into Great Lakes.
I have experienced some of the "First days" of my life.The First day of my Engineering, first day of an interview,first day of first job.But the "First day at Great Lakes" has been something different.Of course,the same butterflies in my stomach but yet this first day has something special to experience with. I have experienced peace of mind when I entered the college.The awesome greenery of the campus gives a feel of being in the nature,which we miss in our routine city life.The "Tower of Reflection" inside the campus, the Buddha statue, Lord Ganesha temple and a wonderful green campus near the beach;all these things have given me an unknown feeling of excitement like someone inside me started saying "You are at the right place to secure your dream future and all your passions". That is the soul of Great Lakes campus.There is some divinity in the campus which gives you a feel of confidence on your future.
It has all started with a handshake friendship with the peers.People have come from different parts of the country.A mixture of different cultures, different languages, different groups.But gradually,we all have become friends and started loving the fun at the campus.Late night birthday parties, team work for submission of assignments,discussion of case studies, participation in campus events have made us closer not only in personal life but also taught us the team work.
The most inspiring part of the college apart from academics is, the concept of "Karma Yoga",a unique feature of Great Lakes. Great Lakes has adopted 20 villages nearby the college.Every year, students are divided into groups and are assigned to each village to work with.We are supposed to spot out the concerns of the villagers and figure out the solution for it.What a wonderful thought it is!Thanks to Uncle Bala for giving us such an opportunity like "Karma Yoga" which helps us to transform ourselves into a better soul and lead a better life.
With all such wonderful academics,infrastructure and human values, Life at Great Lakes is a life time experience. It is not just pursuing an MBA in a top B-School.It is all about transforming oneself to a complete human being in all the aspects for a better you,better family,better nation and a better world.That is our legacy and it all starts right here now!
