Nostalgia hits me!!
What? The year is almost over? But why? Why so soon?
So many questions….so much discomfort…..but all inevitable. I must admit today was a sad day for me. Or rather I should say sad yet happy in a way.
This evening we had an informal get together with the Pre MBA students for the next MBA batch of 2005/06. While talking to them, I had difficulty remembering those days when I had arrived at Cranfield. The year just whizzed away, I guess. And here they are - a new set of to-be-MBA's who would start their MBA journey as we are about to end.
They had so much to ask, we had so much to share and two hours flew away. I felt sad, as time and again, I was hit by the feeling, "….I don't want to leave Cranfield!" But I guess time stops for no one. It didn't stop for those students who had welcomed us into Cranfield last year and it won't stop for us either.
The happy feeling was from the fact that I was meeting so may new people, a few even recognizing me because of my musings on this portal as well as for the other documents that some of us had prepared for them.
I remember the quote by George Eliot - "It is never too late to be what you might have been". So soon enough, we would be handing over the mantle to the incoming batch and all 126 of us would be embarking on our respective journeys, making a success of what we want to achieve and of course, remember the days at Cranfield with nostalgia and fun as well.
