Cranfield Awesome Experience

Twenty Four years, MBA, Worked for more than an year and back to studies.
Honestly, I was a little skeptical initially - will I be able to adjust to assignments, examinations, new cultures, new country...

But Phew! I realized in less than an hour that I landed, that am really going to do well here. No missing home, mom, feeling scared and add to it no jet lag too!

The course am doing here is Knowledge Management for Innovation - something I wanted to do from the past 3 years. Am really glad I chose Cranfield to the only other two universities offering this course in the world. Infact, am really glad that I took this decision in the first place...

This place is awesome - it totally ROCKS!
It's fun and studious at the same time. My classmates especially, all 14 of them are amazing.

I've never been a fan of working in groups - sometimes it was irritating too. But this is the first time am realizing as to how much fun it is to work as a group, learn and share.

Europeans(wouldn't want to generalize for sure) are but incredible! They are beautiful people in and out. Am learning Spanish just to learn more about their culture and also to increase my chances of staying back in Europe!

I do not think I would want to go back to India for atleast a five years from now. Wouldn't for sure enjoy it.

And yes - my room! It's one of the largest rooms students can get in Cranfield University and offers this really incredible view. Everyday, I sleep under the stars and wake up to see the first rays of the sun. Had a huge influence my decision of joining the Astronomical Society!

The weather so far has been pleasantly cold - impatiently waiting for the first snowfall though!


Everything is great here - but (there is always a "but" ) strangely it's the Indian guys am having a problem with. Most of them are young - just passed out of their college and over time they will learn a lot of things. In the mean time, I'll just keep complaining about it!

I haven't spent the amount of time i wanted to on studies this week - mostly it was due to my sleep timings and also a lot of "gappe maarnaa". I'll improve on both of them over the next few weeks.

Impatiently waiting for my electric cooker and pan. Once they arrive, I'll have no problem cooking, eating, sleeping and studying!


That's it from me now - Adios!
