Epilogue

“Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.”

- Winston Churchill

The ever winding path of MBA has just ended – 5 years of hope, sweat, dream, aspiration – all ended with the stroke of midnight on April 29th. And as if this blog has stopped breathing as well – it wants to be free, free from the shackles of mind strokes and idiosyncrasies. Now is the time to let it go, let it free.

And then begins another chapter in my life. Now what?

Another blog, another dream, another aspiration, another path…
