Iam Vasudha. Vasudha MBA. Its sounds so perfect (atleast for me )! Now dont expect me from any IIM colleges i did my MBA from a normal B School .This is my first post so i was thinking what i need to say about myself which really make some sense .So my thoughts finally landed at my Education."Education" i often dont understand the literal meaning of it , for me education is not a degree nor a road to earn a fat pay cheque. Education for me is knowledge and which teaches emapthy and rationalism.(I think iam getting carried away to define things which is not my job.) So let me come to the point MY DAD LOVES MATHS i dint know whether now i should call fate or just by coincidence -i neither have any intrest nor iam i good at MATHS. I hope this is a very common problem in every household with every second child.
But this was a not a small issue in my household. My dad always want to see me as ENGINEER . I dont know if that word has some magic or pride attached to it ? The moment he pronunces it his eyes have all happiness and pride ! always in my school days dad insisted me to become one .As i said im bad with numbers and i simply HATE it , and the fact that my dad loves Maths took my hatred towards Maths to next level. In school teachers too love only students who are good at maths and science ( Funniest part is even arts and language teachers show same attitude) and beacuse of this attitude of teachers my hatred towards Maths reached extreme level where i started hating people who are good at maths.
Finally when iam done with my schooling i came of out of pretty decent percentile in which that bloody maths also had a share of its own saying aloud "ur percentage is complete only with me ".I immediatly determined for life time that i need to get rid of THIS, only to realise later that iam out of this idiotic number game only to be in a "ocean" of numbers from a "cup" of it, which already shown me enough oceans. The thought or just WORD "MPC" chills run down my spine , infact not just down, up ,sideways and all ways indeed. But intially i coulndt diassapoint my Dad who already started thinking and warning about what the percentage i need to get into a nice so called "ENGINEERING COLLEGE" so i finally landed in dirty college with a dirty group which i hated all my schooling and that letter being in first MPC . When ever i looked at maths book i felt as if it said " lol u finally need to hold me and be with me all the day and night and in both in and out of college" I had no option but thinking to make it as my friend , and being honest for my dads sake i made sincere efforts to do my best which turned futile. Lecturers in the college starts the class as if learning those stupid numbers is the ONLY MOTIVE OF OUR LIVES and people who are bad at that can immediately think of going deep underground infact if there is another underground under ground thats the place for people who who are not good at MATHS!
And the students who are good with the subject already starts wearing the hat "ATTITUDE" and its written all over the face. They feel as if they already became some great Engineers . and the worst part comes when relatives comes home. They come to my house, eat have good time and end up in giving me comparisions about different cousins and what they did in there life and what I should do to become like THEM. Bloody hell! I want to slamm the door on there face but the best i can is to just imagine doing it ! Days went on and months followed , after 2 months of trying to adjust to that subject i finnaly said to myself i have tried my best and I GIVE UP. and went staright to dad and said i want to join arts at that point of time i felt myself like LOOSER though i should feel im getting out of this SHIT. But my dad's reaction took me for suprise he simply said select a college on ur own and group as well. But he was dissapointed for sure !
Then came BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE . I selected arts group. I felt as if reunited with a long last lover whom i was desperate to meet since ages, i knw iam being more filmy but thats what i felt exacatly . And the college i selected was a strict christian and girls college. As i already missed the regular Avademic Months i just concentrated to get my name enrolled in some college and i ended up in a girls college at that point of time i dint have any thoughts about either girls or a co-ed college. THIS COLLEGE changed my life BIGTIME . There was no maths there were only things which i was best at thats -Arts, economics, Dance , Debates, Elections . My first yr i discovered a new ME , people started appreciating me for all little success i attained in the college and many treated me as a DIVA but this was all inside college gate once im out of it , bloody looks of neighbours and realtives as if i have eloped with some dirty looking wage labour , there looks make me feel ashamed for me doing nothing . They show all there pity for my Parents for the biggest mistake i have ever done changing my group, which later they realised that to be my best decison.
Later on i completeed my inter then degree and in this whole process i learn so many new things and interacted with the actual people apart from just mere books. which inclined me towards MBA . I have many friends who have inspired to do my MBA some how i ended up getting a MBA certifacate
Now after 3 yrs after completing college i have a decent job with a decent Package, here the point is not how much you earn or how well setlled in your life. The things is did you u follow ur heart and did u do things which u love most .As these days iam seeing many parents forcing there children for this kind of groups or spoiling them by getting them seats with huge donations, when they cant get seat it was damm clear that they are unfit . I mean those 2 yrs of inter are so precious and cant be replacsed so easily . Iam not trying to show the preview of "TARE ZAMMEN PAR" but when i look back iam so happy that my parents actually allowed me to do what i want .In the duecourse i understood the imp of Maths as a logic and my due respect to the subject . But what abt students who still do enginering with all those grace marks . Guys out there- chill out follow your heart , dont do things for the sake of society nor for relatives. Be the best even if you are doing the last cadre.
Now when the same old relatives come to me to suggest there kids i feel pity for them . And i say its not MBA and its not any other Master programme which defines U but in turn U who has to define that Particular education. students who are good at respective subjects dont treat others who are not good at studies as if they belong to a different species . They have there own different talents and one day u just cant help but get suprised seeing them in there TRUE ACTION .Its all zeal and passion which takes you to next levels iam on my way to reach my desitation , hey all Engineers over there no Hard feelings . I LOVE U ALL.
PS: MY father is still happy with my sucess though i dint turn up to be a engineer , which is most important to me
