GAGANDEEP SINGH
CHADHA, PGDM,
2015-17, ISME
Introduction:
I joined ISME with a simple goal. Get a corporate
job. The goal was as simple as the English in
this write-up. I thought I would give my best in
studies, have fun whenever possible, and end up
getting a job.
Little did I know, life never goes as you think!
Induction Week:
July 19th, 2015 was my first day in hostel. I met
a bunch of new people. Around 40 boys from all
over the country. We did an introductory session
that night.
The induction week was quite boring. The only
thing good about it was Wonder La trip.
Term 1 & 2:
I was very active in almost everything. Answering
all the questions, being the CR in all the subjects,
talking to all the students, and by talking I mean
being over-friendly, etc. were the things I was
seen doing. Even in the hostel, would go to every
room and talk to people. I also started learning
languages. At one point of time I was learning
Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Marathi and
Konkani. I also started improving my command
on Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. In short, I was
doing everything. I became a recognized face very
quickly. Everyone was appreciating whatever I
was doing. I hosted Independence Day event.
Everything was going amazing. Perfect, isn’t it?
But this had a darker side. In doing all the stuff, I
made a lot of mistakes. I was being talked about.
And no good talk at all. I was being considered
highly immature, irritating character, outspoken,
etc. I successfully became the KID of the batch.
Everyone would talk to me, but I didn’t even have
a single friend. People would not show their dislike
but they would have loved it if I went missing.
I became a lonely boy in both hostel and college.
No friends. At all.
