The Pre-Day thoughts!

Had some one told me few months back, that I would be writing a blogpost on 15^th November, a day before my CAT examination, I would have laughed at the poor guy. But such is life and such is my mind, to do something new, a day before exams gives you an amazing thrill . Anyways, it is always a delight to write a blog. Out of all the blogpost, I think this piece of mine is going to be special to me.

No matter how much I deny, my college life was high on social quotient and let me be honest enough, I loved that life, I loved to be in the eyes of the near ones around me. From that life, to taking a drop – to prepare for various exams-  and living a low profile life has been quite a difficult task. But at this very point sitting in an unknown city and going into the flashback of the year which has just passed by, I have absolutely no regrets!

There have been times when I thought, the word ‘worse’ was just an euphemism. The one thing which I learnt, out of it was persistence which ironically is my Whats App status (c’mon we live in a world dominated by Whats App and other social networking platforms). I remember one of my faculties telling me, “Life will break you, at the very moment you think you have started to get control over it”, and now I got the real meaning of it.

   

My journey to this D-Day has been nothing but a delight, having experienced the zenith and nadir of the life graph. I have been lucky to meet people at every instance of time, be it my school, college or any classes. The journey gave me an opportunity to meet people who are at a worse situation then I am, to meet people who were going through the same phase as was I, to meet those who were highly irresponsible (which to be selfish enough made me feel good). It gave me an opportunity to see eye to eye situation of what pressure does to an individual. Twelve hours before an important exam, what do I feel is the question which I have encountered a million times. ‘Nothing’ is what I say to those who ask me this, while ‘Happy, Delighted , rejuvenated’ is what I answer to myself, because in situations like this, it is more important to answer to yourself than to others.

To put icing on the cake, CAT gave me the opportunity to meet some special relatives whom I hadn’t met for ages. The lunch sessions on the staircase, the ‘Kuch Nai Hoga Apna’ vaali feeling to ‘Finally Shayad Kuch Hoga’ vaali feeling, those evening Maggie sessions after a test to those late night dinner sessions post a 7-10 test, that expression ‘Shit, I knew it. This indeed was the answer’ to ‘How the hell am I wrong’. This sums it up for me. I couldn’t have asked for more. Had someone described me this journey 7 months back, I would have gladly accepted it, but such is the human greed, you can never be satisfied with what you have! On that note it is time to bid adios, with the hope that (GOT does run in my blood) “all the gods be it the old ones or the new ones, be on my side”.
