The Quintessential MBA: Pregnant with Ideas

The last week has been so tumultuous with such ups and downs that it seems my life has become a roller coaster ride of Walt Disney World. Fresh from a B-School, harbouring a full rainbow spectrum of Dreams (or shall I say Day Dreams), with all those vigour, passion, energy and above all Pregnant with Ideas type, joined a reputed organization with a plum profile or at least it seemed so in my initial days at the organization but suddenly as expected my life took full circle just like a roller coaster ride and I landed up in another famous vertical or notoriously infamous vertical, The Collections Department, infamously known as Recoveries section of the organization.

The transition from a plum profile to a rather low key profile was not that easy for me but let me be honest I enjoyed the second Honeymoon even more !!! because again there was a lull period in between the transition from one vertical to another vertical. Honeymoon as usual was a great time again and I was lucky that I got to go for a second Honeymoon in just Six Months of Time, which shows the Irony that in just six months you are thrown from one profile to another, on the contrary I was just starting to get the feel of the first profile and lo ! there came the dictum that your department has been merged and you have to move on !!!!!

The Unfortunate me was thrown to Collections, it was a sea change for me and yes of course was a shattering experience, just like the Mirror Breaking Scene of Hindi Cinema; "Is Dil ke tukde hazaar hue, koi yahaan gira koi vahaan gira". Well after all the desperate attempts to move into some relevant department and the developments thereupon, i.e. the imbroglio with super bosses and all, I finally gave up and joined my new assignment, new Boss - new people, I knew I had to start afresh !!! Furthermore no need to mention that all the work, I did in my previous profile got washed away and literally went down the drain.

It was a new day, a new dawn for me again, I joined despite repeated admonitions from my friends and colleagues. Initial two days were good as I was trying to adjust and relocate from one location to another, was in the process of getting a hint on what exactly am I supposed to do ??? My real ordeal started when I was asked to start the work and set roaring on full throttle !!! at this moment I came to understand that what actually I have to do. My JD (Job Description, not Jack Daniels re.... you tippler !!!) involves Calling up people and reminding them that they have to pay back the money they have taken (a shattering experience, just was thinking a MBA doing this calling thing, Naaaaaahh !!!), sending legal notices to them (am I a Law Graduate, I am the Quintessential MBA with Rainbow coloured Dreams, Naaaaaahh !!!) and lastly comes the Recovery part, visiting people's house and demanding the payback !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a typical recoveries agent as portrayed by our Fourth Pillar (which now desperately needs another pillar to support themselves, the TRPs) the same fearsome, ghoulish guy, who can involve in any type of skull drudgery to whip out money or your skin (the choice is yours type !!!). My current assignment is to call up people and remind them about the payback, as I have not graduated to that level where I become the spine chilling, fear inducing recoveries man, but even this is a task which I don't consider a MBA should be doing because my dreams are different and very colourful on top of that !!! I am the one who passed out from a mediocre B-School and cherish the dreams of becoming a CEO, one day; so I feel Calling is not my Cuppo' Tea. Treading and steering ahead on my path, some day I will reach the third level and graduate to become the recoveries man.

A passing thought crossed my mind that I will be the first person to go and watch the new Sanju Baba movie "EMI"; who else can connect to the movie in much better way than me !!!!

With so much things happening at one go, and the Helpless and Hapless me feels that I have to comply and compromise with the situations and again struggle for a new beginning; be it the new profile or the search for a new nest, means a new organization !!!

Today, sitting at home I feel there is a stark difference between Real life and the Utopian world in which we lived in our college days !!!!!!

Well today is X-MAS and I am enjoying it by lazying around in Home

MERRY X-MAS !!!!!!!!!!!
