My birthday in a lone campus at Cranfield

Hey its my bday today. I am celebrating it far away from home in the Cranfield campus.But yet,I dont feel so sad..cos I'm fulfiling one of my big dreams in life..that's being an MBA and I think all of us are 25% MBA already after our first term. The campus seems pretty deserted without the heart of SOM i.e we busy 'MBAs'.Most of the people have gone home,some have been on tours to different places just to come back refreshed to begin one more term of hard work and fun. One term has passed by..we are richer with so much knowledge and insight..the doors and windows of our mind have been opened to let us see the world in a new perspective. I feel as if I have suddenly become so much aware of all that's happening around me in the world and can relate to it much more meaningfully..it trully justifies my blog name...an awakening in its process.

Couple of old friends and family called up to give me wishes for the day.Surprisingly,many of my batchmates called up and sent me wishes..James,Jason,Bikram,Charles and Tosin to name a few.Spent the afternoon cooking an Indian lunch and had it with Bikram,went out for a drink with Jason to the socials in the evening. Though the day lacked its lustre and colour as all other years..but perhaps there was an inner fulfilment which filled my heart..the gift which I had given myself this year...i.e the decision to do an MBA and be at Cranfield..which marked my 29th b'day and made it so special.
