There’s a lot I want to write, lot I want to tell the world about but cant! If I do, Joka would no longer be Joka. But still I would write, something atleast because today I am feeling like that 17 year-old teen who’s recently got the class hottie and cant help brag about it.
Joka is essentially an eastern campus, it has that sunderban rainforest feel to it: the 7 lakes, a declared bird sanctuary, a campus wonderfully amalgamated with nature. Even after 25 days at IIM-C I still stop by and take a look at the lakes, they look as beautiful as they did on the first day. And when it rains it casts an enchanting spell which nothing in this world can beat!
Coming to IIM Calcutta I too had my share of pre-conceived notions, of a place which was all about studies and intense competition amongst the best brains of the country, in essence each man for himself. I couldn’t have been more wrong, IIM Calcutta is not about the campus, not the profs, not the placements which incidentally are considered to be the best in the country, nothing, its about the people, about the student community, about Joka!
There’s this energy here, this will to make a difference, to charge, to shout out aloud. Its infectious, an unyielding spirit. We will we can.
To life, to Joka!
