Rendezvous !

In consonance with an indefinable wonder, nature’s arm in form of NITIE’s campus welcomed me. Awestruck! Stepping onto the clouds for the first time, I experienced - what I would love to describe as ‘weightlessness’. Politely shaking hands with the banyans, mesmerized by beaming faces, all my futuristic fears and apprehensions seem to melt away. I could feel myself being drawn into the horizon. Lovely was the moment, lovely was the experience. Flying with dreams on my outstretched wings, I prayed for the moment to last. I prayed for all of it to be true to its existence.

And true it certainly turned out to be. “Groove”, NITIE’s induction program kick-started and shook me out of my comfort zone, pulling me through the state of self imposed lethargy. It was the time when sleep became irrelevant, circadian rhythm went in for a twist and my motto got redefined for successful execution of the assigned tasks. Bombarded with late night cases studies, experiential day light undertakings, soul search for respite seemed but natural. And when that respite unveiled from the storm –“Groove” itself, the experience was nothing short of a delight! Essence of team spirit, coordination; nub of decision making, conceptualization; regard to an opinion other than our own; and respect for diverse value system, was instilled in us all. Bestowed with friends for life, moments to cherish and pearls of wisdom, I ended up being better, wealthier and groomed.

I call it luck or I call it fortune! I have been served on the platter. From a helping hand to a guiding force, I have had a backing. “Groove” – an invitation to the challenging arena yet vibrant environment was welcoming; with smooth transition being ensured and steeping stones having being laid. All these appetizers fuel my hunger for more. Looking forward to a new experience each day - every day, I tread on and on and on…
