Learning

Learning - very profound word.
When I joined IIM I was sure that I'll learn few things that would hold me in good stead in life. I found that I was reading beyond my comprehending capabilities and at one point of time I gave up all effort to even understand what I was reading.
Whatever I learnt (or I think I learnt) is through experiences in the campus, rather than through reading. I am surprised at my own capabilities of going through the academic rigor rather mechanically. I thought that the academic process was a participatory one. There are quite a few myths that were broken (especially about my own capabilities). Life has the habit of teaching you lessons when you least expect them.
I am not going to make a list of things that I learnt here and bore you. But yes surely I would share an important thing that I learnt here:
There are opportunities to learn everywhere if only you can keep your mind open and embrace life fully as it comes. And who knows where and how you will use these invaluable lessons.


PS: Another lesson learnt: don't wait for ideas to write long blogs. That way you lose out on short and useful ones.
