On the other side: MBA school update

Couple days ago I finished first year in the MBA program. Before starting the B-school, I was nervous and afraid that I won't be able to cope being a full time student. Voices in my head screamed that I am just setting myself for failure. Self doubt roared that I am being a fool, going back to school after a gap of ten years. Being out of job for a year and dealing with my medical situation, I started school with an overwhelming sense that I will never survive. But, as the course progressed, I discovered myself. I found strength and self-belief. Perhaps, things are different this time compare to undergrad, because this time, I am truly interested in learning. I finished the first year with a personal best GPA, an internship in my area of interest, and few real friends. From my experience, I would like to share that it is never too late to have new dreams, aspirations, and to crave out new paths.

I want to be...

I want to be a successful business owner, make millions and buy an apartment in upper west side Manhattan. a horse farm in Colorado. I don't want to be a conformist. I don't want to do things because my family or society expects it from me. I want to live for myself and do what is right for me. I want to be financially independent. I want to grow every day- as a person, read more books, travel to new places and experience new adventure. I don't want to be a hoarder. I am perfectly happy with my limited wardrobe, shoes and one bag. I want a right size house. I don't want to live in an overly large or overly cramped house. I want to own one sports car- BMW Z4 some Merc I want to write one amazing book that becomes a New York Times bestseller. inspires someone to be a better person

Shape of Happiness

Happiness is a house full of books, winter evenings laced with slow snowfall, fireplace burning bright and a glass of wine. It is summer evenings paired with cold coffee, and rainy days to race paper boats. No TV to suck the life out, a steady paycheck, a vocation in which I can take pride, money to travel, an opportunity to make a difference in the world, and a love and home to come back to.

Year 2014

Year 2014- Lived in: India (33%), Kentucky (25%) and Tennessee (42%), US Juxtaposed, that's how this year passed. I transcended from being miserable to ecstatic before finally accepting, that in this precious life of mine, I will outlive both- happy and sad times. I started this year (Feb) by creating www.wonderfulthingshappen.com The primary motivation for building this platform is to find love for those who love differently. Through this project, I have met some really nice women and some real drama queens. It gave me an opportunity to peek into the life-struggles, heartaches, and highs of complete strangers. I realize everyone is hung on this idea of love, real love in the end is going to save us from the life’s storms. April, May, June, and July were spent in India, fighting my infertility. I underwent laparoscopy, followed by IVF treatment. Those months were the most painful times that almost broke me. I learned the complete hopelessness of the situation. But hope
