It takes 6 hrs to reach Ahmedabad from Gondal, but for me , it took 3 years. It was a big dream of a small town girl to live and study in a metropolitan city like Ahmedabad. When I was in FY BBA, I decided to go to Ahmedabad for my further studies. I was an average student, not so good but not too bad. So when I was in 3rd year of my graduation, I joined coaching classes of GCET for preparation of Competitive exams. I worked hard for GCET and MAT to get good score, and I got it. My mentor in the coaching class suggested me to apply in N R Institute of Business Management (NRIBM) for Post Graduation Programme (PGDM) because it is a very well known institute of Ahmedabad. I was very excited because I was going to visit Ahmadabad for the first time and if I got selected in NRIBM my dream will come true. I was excited about everything like my first time interview in institute, new city, meeting new people etc.
It was too hot that day I entered in Ahemadabad. It was totally different and mesmerizing experience for me because Ahmedabad is totally different from Gondal. I saw big roads, five star hotels, malls, from the window of bus and of course there was Mc. Donald’s. My uncle came to receive me at Paldi and that day only I had the experience of AMTS bus also.
I can’t forget that day when my lectures started 6th august 2011. I got new friends which are helpful, faculties who teach me new things, new concepts and new ideas. Journey from Gondal to Ahmedabad is really an important part of my life. I hope thesee days never passes.
