Phew!
For past 4-5 days, I am going thru some very interesting blogs of GMAT Applicants. The mist seems to be giving way to more clarity. I have been thinking of another MBA overseas...ANOTHER?.....oh yah, I already have a MBA degree from a premier Indian B-school under my belt. And now a 5 years work experience post MBA too!
I am on the information collection mode as of now. I have no clue about how to go about taking GMAT, the schools that i shall target, the specialization that I want to do, the way finances will be arrnaged.....not to forget, convincing my mom for doing another MBA....and most importantly, convincing her that I dont want to settle down now. She is the sweetest mom! And she is really worried about me....."You have done your MBA, AND have now worked for 5 years, AND you dont have any responsibilities now, AND its time for you to settle down, AND you are going to be 28 next month, AND there is always a time to do something, AND you should plan your family life now, AND.....AND....AND". Well, I dont deny what she thinks make sense. But not for me, not right now:)
I have my eyes set on something different, though I am clueless about a lot of things as of now. The decision to pursue this course of my life came rather late. I, actually, thought that all I need to do is concentrate on my work, explore new avenues in my job, improve/acquire new skills...blah blah blah. The going has been GREAT so far. Professionally, I am one of the youngest officers in middle management bands in my organization. Have been involved in various assignments spanning various functions. Personally, I have enjoyed being part of the project that I am working on. So much so that the last resume that I preapred was way back in my B-school days when we were all applying for our final placements. I dont even have a CV today!
But still....
There is a long way to go. There is a life that I want to live, the way I want to live.
As of now, I am reading people's blogs, going thru various links, adding to favorites- all the sites that I want to visit in detail, trying to get in touch with people in my city who also aspired to take GMAT. The goals will be set shortly, the target b-schools picture would be tucked nicely around the wall of my study table, early morning sessions would also start, and so will start the anxiety, phases of low-confidence, frustration, excitement, dreams, self-denial in order to have self-realization, oh...the math sums (I hate maths:() The relaxed evenings, sleepy sunday afternoons, holidays, adda-bazi, ummm....interesting dates....all will take a back seat now.
And many more things have to wait now....Mom, you too!
So, wish me luck!
I AM ON MY WAY TO HELL!
