Migrating for Migration – The Ending
Four months had passed. There was no time to go to Dombivli due to exams. The exams got over and there I started the process of calling the college to confirm if the principal is available for the day.
The phone bell rang but it died as I awaited somebody to pick up the phone at the other end. After trying it for several days I tried contacting my Dombivli friends to confirm if the phone is dead or the number has changed but in vain.
I could only try my luck this time. I left for Dombivli and anxiously confirmed the availability of the principal. There was a positive reply. I just had to get a signature on the photocopy of the leaving certificate.
I had to wait for about an hour but finally got the signature and with a smile left the college.
Next Tuesday I left for the university to submit the photocopy of LC and they handover to me my migration certificate. I had tears in my eyes as I took the certificate in my hand. These were “Khushi ke Aansu” after the tragic climax of “Migrating for migration” and “Still Migrating for Migration”.
Migration finally had a happy ending.

Exam Fever…
One month to go for the second trimester and it has already started gripping all of us. There are two different teams to work with one in college and the other at work place (HR concepts to be applied here 🙂 ). None of the two is less important. If there are project deliveries coming near so are presentation day.
Lecture cancelled seems to be a boon to all of us at this point of time.
There would be no books available in the library and no time to read this blog. We have to remain hooked to yahoo group for the notes and the announcements.
Exams are coming soon…
All the best for the exams to all of us…

Still Migrating for Migration
This time I was very more conscious than before considering the probabilities of events that could occur in the process of obtaining the signature of the principal on the migration form.
I planned to go to the college at 11.00 am after confirming the presence of the principal in the college. The clerk picked up the phone and he confirmed that the principal is available till 5.00 pm. I quickly packed my bag with all the necessary documents and once again started my journey to Dombivli.
I reached college by 2.00 pm after the lunch time. I directly went into the office to meet the principal but he was in a meeting. I was told to wait till he is thru with the meeting.
Before taking signature I had to take the stamp of the college having principals name on it. I requested for one from the office but they bluntly refused and directed me to the examination department. In the examination department the HOD again redirected me to the office saying that it was not their responsibility. On explaining the whole situation I was able to convince him. Finally he redirected me towards his assistant to get the stamp. I went to him but this guy again directed me to the HOD giving an excuse that he does not have sufficient rights to put the stamp. I felt as if I was a tennis ball in the tennis court. Finally I requested HOD to personally give him the permission to put the college stamp on the form.
The game was not yet ove. I had to wait for about an hour for the principal. During this one hour I had to keep track of the principal (as informed by the one of the staff member) since as soon as the meeting gets over he may leave for the day.
Finally the meeting was over and I met him in the gangway and requested for his signature on the form. He called me up in the cabin which was somewhere in the first level of the second building. I pointed out to him where his signature is required on the form. But he nodded with a disagreement and told me that the stamp should be authenticated with proper verification. Now I had to run back to the exam section for the signature of approval. But they declined with an explanation that how could they authenticate if the leaving certificate was provided by the office. I was again standing in front of the office for the signature of approval. I convinced them why signature should be authenticated from the office and they provided with one after checking out my original documents.
I ran back to the second building to the principal’s cabin to find his door locked. I could not imagine going back home without the work done. After the ‘tennis’ game I started playing ‘hide and seek’ which made me remember my school days. I asked some of the students and the professors about his where about but they could not help me out. Finally one of our electronic professors was able to help me out with his where about. And at 5.00p.m I got his signature on the form. I returned home with a content smile on my face.
The next Saturday I submitted the application form with all the attested documents to the university at the migration counter.
And they flatly rejected the application saying that they require principal’s signature on the photocopied leaving certificate too which was neither written on the notice board nor on the form. I tried convincing them showing my original documents but in vain. The university made me remember the ‘snake and the ladder game’ which was played by me during my primary school education.
I don’t know which more games I will be made to recollect during the course of getting the certificate.
And am still migrating for migration…

Inaugural Post
Welcome you all to the world of NMIMS PTMBA Systems blog. This idea has been initiated by PA and pushed forward by me and thanks all you people for joining the line by contributing.
One question that would come in minds of many is why such a name has been thought off as the URL i.e. “nmimscomingsoon”. The meaning behind such a name is very simple. “Coming soon” indicates that future managers of NMIMS are ‘coming soon’ after 3 years. It would be a motivating factor for all of us when we start writing down the URL in the address bar of the browser in an attempt to read the blog. So each time one types the url or just clicks the URL he/she is actually writing or clicking about himself/herself.
Now that we all are motivated lets start contributing to this blog so that we keep this alive. Let’s rock this world by our blog which is not a one man show. Your contribution on anything like articles related to management, views and thoughts, NMIMS events, or any class events will make this blog a success.
Happy Blogging.
And
Wish you a very Happy Diwali and a Prosperous New Year.
