Hi everyone..
It’s been about one month since School of Petroleum Management (SPM) began, but it feels like it’s been a year. That’s how much I’ve learnt and how busy I’ve been.
2 months ago, I uprooted my life from NIRMA university and headed over to School of PETROLEUM MANAGEMENT, in pursuit of a unique, enriching and challenging
experience. I am now just 15 kilometres away from home, and my world has been turned topsy-turvy and I am constantly exhausted, but every day is new, exciting and thrilling. I knew I was seeking challenge and that I wanted to be thrown out of my comfort zone when I applied to SPM, and it has definitely delivered! Many people found my decision of joining SPM wrong.The only answer to their words is :
Service sector of India which includes banking,BPO's,Restaurant etc contributes about 48 percent to Indian Economy and for that there are huge numbers of MBA colleges available in India and OIL AND GAS sector which contributes 15 percent to indian economy there are only two management colleges.Financial crisis can be controlled in five years but wat about Energy crisis. All five Indian companies appearing on the Fortune 500 list operate in
the Oil & Gas sector.
I m not here to defend my self.Because it is not that important.The only thing important here is that i m doing wat rest are not.
First day fresh faces in class made me to ask question to myself-ARE THEY FRESH???I meant hw many of them are freshers...They were giants,big,wid moustache nd beard.I came to know later that out of 60, 44 of them are work ex guys and rest are freshers and amng 16 freshers 7 are girls.First three days we were wid NGOs,with poor children,wid migrants workers. Challenges wat poors of india are facing are lethal.Yes the challenges are lethal and m not
exaggerating anything here.It was the time wen i was feeling bad about my country.But the thing which has to be noticed here is that Kesher was actualy thinking about his country.I could see the change in me.On third day's evening GSPC(Gujarat state petroleum corporation) managing director had made us feel important by inviting us for a dinner party at TAJ RESIDENCY.Next day SHELL 's chairperson came for the expert lecture on challenges to OIL AND GAS SECTOR.Next three days We were in GSPC 's guest house in HAZIRA,SURAT.
The classes started wid a fine introduction on OPERATION MANAGEMENT.The second lecture was on ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR.And next day we were told to present a presentation.I played table tennis till 2 am nd started my vehicle for my home at 5:30 am for taking formals for the presentation and..................................................................................................................................................................................
I MET WITH AN ACCIDENT.
I have started going for college now.But the kind of pressure nd load wat i m having rite now can not be described in words.When a guy told me wat all topics have been covered and wat all i need to study.I closed my eyes nd my mind said to me-KESHER CHAR SAAL KE ENGINEERING MEIN BHI ITNA NAHI PADHA HOGA.
My life in SPM has been a roller coaster ride till date.Sleeping wid an average of 4 hours per day,its fun and exciting.
