I have changed. Yes I have.

I finished my class 12th from Kanpur(Singhania) and went to Pune to pursue further studies. Graduated in Commerce from Symbiosis and then again showed my loyalty to the Symbiosis family by continuing MBA from Symbiosis University. Its been four and half years in Pune.. and guys. I changed.

B.Com. Days:

I was not what I am today. I was a person full of life, joy, laughter. People used to love my company. I had great contacts. My friends used to say that I would do MBA in Dongiri. LOL. I had HUGE number of friends. I used to be on phone most of the times. I remeber my parents used to say “In the entire family Lavina must be having maximum number of contacts”. Mind it guys.. By contacts I mean some really influential ones I had a nice life. I was an average student in B.com. (but a merit holder till class 12th). I Used to wake up, go to college for fun, go to Drama practice/CS classes. Come back in evening, Sit at the adda with friends till night, Come back home, Enjoy fun at hostel (esp with my room mate and another friend.. we three were great buddies) and sleep. Ghosh.. at the end of the day I used to get tired laughing at my own jokes and on others. I was happy, satisfied and contended. Used to spend a lot of time with friends, family and loved ones. Just one thing was missing from my life: FOCUS and I never even thought seriously about my career. This stands as a glimpse of my B.com. Days.

MBA Days:

Hmmm… Well… Something happened to me when I entered MBA. With the first month of my entry to MBA I realised I did not have a goal. Where was the GOAL? And gradually I started getting inclined towards my goal.. my focus. I gained keen interest in technology and coding. I drifted away from my B.Com Days completely. Friends used to call and I did not even bother where my phone used to be (so opposite of what I was). I dont remember any one’s birthday now (I was the person who used to call every one at 12 sharp). I dont get much time to devote to my friends, family, loved ones. I listen to complains from every one. To my surprise none of the complaints or expectations effect me. My old friends say “Lavina.. you have forgotten to laugh on jokes! ”. Do I lack emotions and feelings now? Hmm.. Can’t find an answer. Today I have an AIM, a FOCUS, a GOAL. But I am not contended and not satisfied(like I was). There is hunger for more and more. I dont know how to control this hunger. I apologise to all who feel I have changed. Its not that I have forgotten anyone. Its just that priorities have changed. And in my view.. I guess each one of us enter such a phase once in the life time. Hope Life brings all of us THE BEST. GOD BLESS US ALL.

An update on 6th Feb 2011 – I happened to read this post again today (after almost 2 years !!).. And I laughed out loud !! Change is purely constant !!!
