Life post the MBA..

You know how everyone tells you that your life during the MBA is a bubble ? Well, that is so true. It is a year long bubble - one that is exciting, amazing, fulfilling in so many ways and in all probability the best time of your life. And this - you understand and value a lot more once its done!

So its been a few weeks since graduation and a few months since I moved back from Barcelona. In many ways, it feels good to be back in Mumbai. It is home, familiar ground, busy and bustling as always. But one thing remains, a part of me will always love and miss what I had in Barcelona - that weather, those beaches, the clubs, the coffee shops and those friends!

Another thing I seem to have brought back with me from the last year  is all the travel. In the last three months, the airport has come to be my second home and the flight my source of entertainment (I have caught up on so many movies and Big Bang Theory episodes thanks to in flight entertainment :)). I am not complaining at all (okay sometimes, but I secretly hope this continues)

I've been meeting a lot of new people for work and otherwise since I have moved back. Some people ask me with that wide eyed look 'What was it like to live in Spain?" (Thank you very much - Zindagi na Milegi Dobara) and then there are some who question - Why did you choose Spain? Its not the most common destination for higher education, is it (And thanks to the million Indians who diligently continue to move to the States every year). Was it worth it? And then there are those who ask why I chose to move back to India?

I catch myself saying it was completely worth it and it was! I have made some amazing friends who I know I will be in touch with for the rest of my life. I have people to visit no matter what country I go to and memories that will truly last a lifetime. And lastly, working at Google is probably my biggest dream come true till date. Its only been a month here, but I gotta good feeling about this :)

So yes, it was every bit worth it!
