Day of Revelations

Been a while since I wrote here. Still getting adjusted to the role of a student. Moreover, forced to think on some aspects which I have been escaping long. Finally decided to face it, but not really sure if I will solve the puzzle or finally postpone things further.

At one point I thought I should go walk around the institute to get some clarity but the tightly packed schedule did not allow me that luxury. Quite unexpectedly the clutter got cleared when I attended an inaugral function at the campus, our leadership Professor was very genorous to invite us to the same. Somewhere during the session when I listened to the golden words of wisdom the Chief Guest Harsh Manglik, Chairman of NASSCOM it struck the cord. Those were the same words he shared to few girls from mumbai who did their best even in adverse conditions (this made me shameful of my own petty musings and confusions). He said these 5 points you should always remember - Sapne, Himmat, Tapasya, Hamdardi and Eemaan. I should say he gave answers to all the questions I had in my mind today.

Coming back home there was another surprise waiting in the form of a mail from one of my colleagues. He was talking about "Learning Management through Gita" sessions by one of the best professors teaching us. I immediately went and voted in favor of attending the class. This took me to another journey to which I have not done justice since long. I thought about instances of Gita in dance, the excerpts I have performed. Reminded me of my favorite Hero cum God in dance - Krishna who is also the Protagonist in Bhagvad. I have performed Krishnaleela, Dashavataaram, padam but why not Bhagvatam I thought. I went on searching in youtube, found this beautiful clipping where Dr. Padma Subramaniam is talking of Bhagvad Gita production by her http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6NKKU_1H1U . I enjoyed watching some beautiful dance, ofcourse I was inspired to dance too but keeping in mind the welfare of Ajmera residents, decided otherwise. But it gave me a revelation - probably the greatest tool for me to learn management is dance. I have always drawn my energy from art, somehow it came naturally to me and here also I have to find a way to associate. Perhaps only that can complete the journey - in the words of our OB Prof. Vasanthi, I have to mull over this.

All in all getting a feeling that today is a day of revelations. Is there more to come or is this Prof Vasanthi effect or was this just an exception .. I am yet to discover.
