Of elitism, disappointment...and salvation!!

ok so george binoy thinks i am 'elitist'....many ppl out here at iimb think 'stephanians' are elitist...and in my summers company ppl felt 'iimb-ians' are elitist...wonderful paradox i am living in...elitism to the power 3 i guess...but then wot do ppl really mean wen they use that word?!...there is a tendency among many to just use words for the heck of it....cmon atleast giv the so called elitists a chance to defend themselves!...
on a more sombre note celebration time on campus and a time for me to sit back, reflect and plan for the future...given that the past has been a mixed bag..hope the future is more of a bonanza...but if wishes were horses then beggars would ride...or some such...
another issue which i was following with keen interest was that of the resignation of our college principal....a very sudden sort of news which took me by surprise...but now it seems things are back to where they were a few days ago..except that a girl is now SUS president...i happen to know the female a bit and in first yr she definitely didnt seem the sort who would 'ascend' to the throne of president....surprises are a part of life eh?
i will be home on sunday and will catch salaam namaste then...wow!
lastly, i am officially over with my MBA today...its been a tough 4 terms....yes i have realized how to stretch my limits...yes i have matured (tho nish has different views on the matter)..and yes i have learnt to overcome disappointment and keep smiling thru it.....
15 months ago...a starry eyed 'kid' entered the stone walls of the bannerghatta road campus...yes he was the second youngest...yes he totally didnt expect to be in this place and yes he was recuperating from a sudden virulent attack of some unknown bacteria....but 4 terms down the line the innocence still remains (or so i would like to believe)...the kid still is as sentimental as ever, gets hurt easily and sets too high standards for himself to emulate...
he still maintains his strong likes and dislikes for people and loves wasting time...despite knowing the opportunity costs can be pretty high at times...
he is pretty competitive even now and doesnt like to lose....and hopes of a better future...
is that being too cynical?..
cheerio...
