I had two options. Either I have to stay back and fight or to choose my own course of action. I hev never beleived in politicking and fighting rather I have always worked for positive results. But being positive in a weeked environment has no use. many of my friends and relatives suggested me that I should fight back. But I asked a question: for whom should I fight? Nobody came to my rescue at this point of time. The world is divided into different set of people viz. those who are against me; those who always depended on me and took all the benefits and then never looked back and those who are good friends and never cared for me saying that this is my problem. Those who are against me are happy because I am not there to fight with them or complain against their misdeeds; those who took benefit from me and were like rats in the ship, ran away by seeing how others are fighting with me and those who are silent, I have no comments on them.
One thing I am sure that IIMIndore is a nasty place to work. The polictics is so high that you feel like vomiting sometime. I should have left immediately after Prof Parashar and joined elsewhere but stayed back thinking that I have brought a change to the work culture of IIMIndore. It seems I am the first casualty of my assumption. Anyway I worked in IIM system for so many years and contrbuted so much but at the end of the day, the experience has been really bad. Instead of looking back and mourning, the life is meaningful when it moves forward and thats what has occupied my mind at this point of time. Life should go one, come whatsoever may in life.
I think I can resurrect and do well in the next job and my resignation from IIMIndore would have something interesting on store for me in life. It may give new things and bring new success for me. Let my detractors be happy and enjoy. Its time to say good bye and good luck to IIMIndore

Dear my Teacher,
ReplyDeleteIt's really a loss for the student community at large. I have learned lot of practical lessons from you apart from marketing basics, during my course at IIMI. I had also witnessed the results of changeds that you have brought into IIMI culture.
I am really disappointed with the happenings at IIMI. It should not happen, but as you have said life is life. I also learnt from your experience that anything can happen at any point of time. And it is difficule to read people's mind.
Hope to see your postings with details of your new engagement, at the earliest. I am sure, Person like you, will definitely reach greater heights.
