Mixed Emotions

Its 22nd August which means in 3 days from now, I’ll be on a flight to Barcelona. I’m actually not sure what I’m feeling right now and as a matter of fact I never was for the past several days. I’m overjoyed at the prospect of starting my MBA journey, meeting all the wonderful people there and visiting a new city/country. But at the same time I’m starting to feel sad at the thought of leaving behind my wife, parents and my brother. It’ll be the first time in the past 5 years that I’ll be living away from her (wife) and the thought of it is very depressing. But as she says I guess I’ll have to do this to get myself an MBA and a 100K+ job to finance her shopping list. Jokes apart, I know the move is going to be tough and I know I’m going to miss her dearly!

Anyways lemme not invite any tears here! Coming to my pre-MBA preparations, I have been very very busy lately with my financial accounting pre-course, which i hope to finish by tomorrow, and with my packing. You know what I realized, packing is not only uninteresting but also one of the most laborious tasks – take it from a GMAT three timer! You need to have the right set of skill and planning to fit in a cupboard, a pantry, half of the washroom and a mobile Circuit City inside a single baggage and still make it weigh 23 kgs. Lucky for me, my mom is a packing-genius!!

I hope to squeeze in one more post before I say adios to India. Till then take it easy!
