The day I received the confirmation letter of my admission to\u00a0Full-time MBA<\/a>\u00a0course at Frankfurt school of\u00a0Finance\u00a0&\u00a0Management, there were several thoughts arising in my mind. I had a good job and was\u00a0enjoying life with a wonderful set of friends and a very supportive family. The question: should I be\u00a0content with current circumstance\u00a0or would international exposure in studies and work experience\u00a0stand in good stead for my future? I concluded \u00a0that a post graduate degree, with a comprehensive\u00a0study program, in finance and management, based on research, training and practical exercises,\u00a0would be an essential qualification\u00a0for a leadership position in any\u00a0corporate organization. And why Germany? Germany\u00a0possesses a highly developed industrial sector\u00a0and high standards of work culture. The higher\u00a0education, in many of its renowned universities, is linked and coordinates with the industry.\u00a0Frankfurt School of Finance\u00a0&\u00a0Management\u00a0is one such institution. Frankfurt, I learnt, is a city with world class\u00a0infrastructure and is home to many top financial establishments of the world. All these facts made my\u00a0decision easy.<\/p>\n

Sitting in the window seat as I took my flight to Frankfurt, apprehension took over my initial euphoria.\u00a0This would\u00a0be my first time away from home, from my parents and friends. What was in store for me\u00a0in a\u00a0foreign\u00a0country? Would I be able to adjust to the food, climate and living conditions there? Most\u00a0importantly I was unsure of how people, whom I would come across, would fraternize. But as terrified as\u00a0I was with all these thoughts, I was equally excited about living independently. About a new start!<\/p>\n

All my fears and inhibition were put to rest once I reached Frankfurt. Right from the welcome and pick\u00a0up at airport to placing me at the dorms, I felt the warmth. The room allotted to me was comfortable,\u00a0painted in red and cream. I spent my first few days exploring the city. I immediately fell in love with the\u00a0picturesque and clean surroundings. The walk ways across the city are something that I would love the\u00a0town planners back home to emulate. Most importantly I found the city very safe for women. But the\u00a0best was yet to come.<\/p>\n

The Orientation and the leadership camp were out of this world. Our MBA class is very diverse in all\u00a0aspects. Be it cultural or professional background, language or age. And working together with such a\u00a0diverse group is turning out to be an amazing experience. The team building activities, the get togethers and the discussions brought us all closer. It was a platform where different ideas, different opinions, different experiences were shared.\"10655398_398272876991941_334335559040762523_o\"
\nIt\u2019s been about 45 days since I arrived in Frankfurt and life has been a mixture of hectic, sublime and\u00a0exotic experiences. Multi tasking is a way of life here. Other than studying and preparing for the classes,\u00a0cooking, cleaning the utensils, cleaning the room, washing my clothes, shopping \u2026 (the list goes on),\u00a0tasks from which I was insulated back home, have kept me busy. Today I stand, hopeful that, in a couple\u00a0of years, I shall return home, a very confident and efficient managerial brass hat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
