Tomorrow is when the grind begins...

Had a taste of the job on friday, walking all day in the sun, looking around for the 8 shops i was supposed to visit that day...the heat,dust, pollution, and the hustle-bustle that's typical of a day in Mumbai...really gets to you. Needless to say, the experience was humbling...Talking to retailers, you realise that not everything is hunky-dory on the frontlines as in made out in the corporate office....

MBAs in general dream of sitting in air-conditioned corporate offices, glassy buildings with plush interiors, a laptop and few good looking colleagues for company...

Absolutely nothing wrong with that...everyone wants to live the good life...but I personally feel, that there's this growth path one should follow.....going through some hardships initially, before settling in comfortably....Most companies (especially fmcg's) i know, follow this path for its new recruits...


I know what i've written, sounds pretty old...even cliched maybe.....but's its good to be reminded once in a while......it keeps you going through some tough times....like what i'll be going through over the next 5 weeks....
