12th May 2010. The day, everything will stop finally and officially for XL GMP. For some of us, it is the day on which freedom will be achieved and for others it is the day, freedom will be lost again! Every thing will stop for 96 odd guys and gals. No more 9 to 9 back to back classes, no more class participation, no more before class participation, no more after class participation, no more assignments, no more last minuit preparation for presentation, no more 11:59:59 project submission, no more fight over task allocation, no more attandance, no more proxy for attandance, no more HBS case studies, no more GE or Xerox example, no more latenight parotha, no more teas at dadoo's, no more spat over mess food, no more controversies, no more midnight birthday celebration,no more sleep during gas sessions, no more "get my point",no more mimicry,no more gassssss, no more "I mean that way", no more DC++, no more garam masala press ....The list is endless. The 96 years investment of life will end on that day. The brave guys and gals who took the decision to leave their jobs to do MBA from XL in one of most tumultous times of history will bid adieu to XL on that day. It is the day we have waited for so long. But when that day is too near how are we feeling ? We are managers taught as the smartest of the breed. We are the professionals. But some where inside at one corner of our heart, we are feeling bad and really bad.
