You have a settled practice, own clinics and good corporate hospitals attachment. Above all the label of Professor and Head of Department is something which not many achieve.&lt;br /&gt;     I have only one reply- ye dil mange more!!  Since I have all these things with me I crave for more. Any further education is not going to harm me anyway. A chance of interacting with people from different fields does not come often in routine life.&lt;br /&gt;From the day I started filling up my applications for B-schools, I started making several contacts -sometimes seeking help and advice, sometimes interacting about interviews and so-on. This is the magic of B-schools- I could interact with several people from the fraternity and outside it just at the beginning of the admission procedure. Needless to say rejects from some institutions disappointed me but I have few friends in each of these institutions who have got selected and are still in touch with me, thus increasing my friends circle.&lt;br /&gt;Now that I have paid my acceptance fee to XLRI as the first intallment, I am happy. I am a part of one of the topmost institutions in India. This is the oldest institution but never believe in too much of overt advertising. Its name speaks for itself.  I am happy intearacting with the prospective colleagues and have a great respect for each one of them as they are the over-achievers of their respective fields and deserve to be the part of the community (senior managers).&lt;br /&gt;Preparations have started in various forms as  resigning, reserving seats, selling car, settling loan papers, etc etc. It seems like a new life is beginning. I am eager to plunge in this new world as a student again, the only difference is this time I have much more responsibilities back home than they ever used to be.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5299473579775032740-2929228844992293848?l=drmilindk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drmilindk.blogspot.com/feeds/2929228844992293848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://drmilindk.blogspot.com/2009/04/why-mba.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5299473579775032740/posts/default/2929228844992293848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5299473579775032740/posts/default/2929228844992293848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drmilindk.blogspot.com/2009/04/why-mba.html' title='Why MBA'/><author><name>Milind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02662391149172040596</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
