These days i am suffering from a syndrome called lack of 'drive for anything'. Every now and then, time draws a blank against you and you sit dumbfounded :). No..no its not the more-often-than-not-suggested 'Love Syndrome' as per bollywood thinkers. Its something grave. After some serious research, and the battle between the many school of thoughts inside...it was found that it is futile to do further research..as the matter is simply an unending labyrinth. Excerpts from the research about the probable culprits -
1. A constant thread of 'Why I am here?' running against all the processes in your system!
2. Opportunity Cost of being here? Is this what all i dreamt of??
3. Is it about DREAM? Do you have one? Till this point it was about to do an MBA...from an IIM (thats what you were left with)..Ok. Now what??
4. 'Who am I?' - What is the ultimate role for which i have descended on this planet and whether i want to achieve anything?(As per the syllablus of one of the courses) If yes, then what?
5. No, its not about the job! Then what? Its becomes so simple if you tag something as the 'dream job' and here you go - you got the sole idea for being here at this hill station :). But why not job??
6. If not job...Then what? Are you here for 'enlightenment'?? huh.....dude then you are the ONE!!
Conclusion??? Dude, you need to define some constraints, decision variables, objective function...if you really wanna optimise for the reason of your existence here?? (dont sleep in class..i told you!)
Neverthless one conclusion i have is that...'Everytime i do introspection i come out confused(see below)!'

I agree that if you give some goal ( in your case it might be MBA)lot of importance than both achieving and not achieving it has detrimental effect. But please try to look forward. As far as I know you dreamt of MBA because you loved something managers do and engineers dont(something creative).
Now you have time, resources and competitors to nurture and polish those skills. After all this is the reason you came to an IIM to do MBA.
Dear Anonymous,
Thanks for being my guest at my blog. I agree, that the dream is not yet fulfilled, the dream was not just about coming to an IIM and flunk there on! But it takes a while..to settle down when you are in your most-ruffled state..and i guess i will be on track..the sooner the better.
It would be great if you can mention your name with your valuable inputs. Thanks again!!
