Why I Decided to Blog?

Dear Friends,

Blogging is not new to most of you I guess, but as you would see the purpose of this blog is different. A few more days and I will become an alumni of GITAM. The last 4 years have been enthralling, it has changed my life and my outlook towards it. Perhaps that's what life is all about. You meet people, get an insight into their psychology and learn from them. Perhaps the best ability of a human is to learn from experience and the one who makes good use of this, beyond the shambles of uncertainty, attains success. And that's a personal observation. As I gear up to start afresh in this wide, fiercely competitive and challenging world I feel I can give back something to GITAM; to my friends and juniors and to the department in particular. As a junior I have always appreciated the value addition that a senior's guidance can provide and have found it quite pleasing to accost them. However, I don't know how helpful I have been to my juniors so I decided to offer myself another chance. And this was the best option to start with.

What this platform would provide you is a discussion portal to voice your views, your concerns about anything which bothers, concerns or interests you. From final year projects to industrial trainings; from industrial tour to final placements; from Lalit Modis to Barack Obamas; from Kapil Sibals to Jaswant Singhs; from academics to extra curriculars. May be I will be able to advice you over some of these issues, others will be taken care of by other alumnis like me and some others will sort themselves out. This brings me to specific areas of interest: what future plans do you have friends? Let me guess:
  • Mulling over MBA(CAT & Co...I mean MAT, JMET, SNAP et. al)
  • Planning to leave the country(GRE)
  • Take up public administration(UPSC)
  • Start earning
  • Get more technical(M.Tech, research et. al)
Well, whatever it is guys realize one thing in life:

Its you and only you who has the right to define your success.


And once you do that never ever change it, unless of course you attain it. Hopefully I will find time to upload plenty of articles, prepare my own analysis and write ups of varied issues and keep posting. Please do tell me what type of discussions you wish to have. Help me make myself better. Any questions, suggestions or comments on any topic is of utmost importance to me. Please do tell me the topics you would like to discuss.



Cheers and may all of us rest in peace.

Very soon I will post my first write up on Satyam scam.


To all those who approached me for any sort of advice.

With lots of love
Atul Mishra
