Hmm.. Right now, the time is 12:35 AM (What a beautiful time to write a blog) on 13th June 2008. I'm on hunt for the past few days for certain "Admi" reasons (get the hint). However, I don't seem to be making much use of this hunt, as is evident from the fact that I'm spending this hunt writing blogs!
Phew!! The past several months of hectic preparation FOR HSC EXAMINATION 2008 finally culminated in a nerve-wracking two and a half-hour climax last Saturday(07/06/2008). And boy, was it a cracker! This was one hell of a wild cat - tough, tricky and dangerous. I was majorly mauled, but have survived to tell the tale!
First of all, the main lesson I learnt from this exam result : Never underestimate others' intelligence and your own stupidity.
Was it tough? You bet! But then, that's the fun in it - as I keep saying - the bigger the challenge, the greater the glory. It doesn't get bigger and more challenging than this! This was surely the final frontier in terms of mental challenges after going through emotional trauma from many of my folks.
Was it possible to tame it? Possibly. Could I have fared better? Definitely yes. But then, days are rare when each and everything goes exactly as planned. So, I end up with a score that is tantalizingly close to an PODAR COLLEGE call.(Podar Closes at 83% for BMS - Bachelor of Management studies ,and i got 81%) So near, yet so far. That's when you realize the value of a single mark. A mark that could have probably made a difference of a lakh in my earnings,in my behaviour towards other people as well as in the respect which i could have got from my friends and folks. A mark that could have changed my career, my life. Just one silly, goddamned mark.
I've always felt, that marks are like money. Inspite of how much you get, you still feel like having some more. That was exactly the case here. From what I can see, my performance here has been better than most of my mock cats [:)] That gives me some kind of solace and comfort.
As for the hope of that one single PODAR call, well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed ! The suspense unravels after another 10-odd days... Till then... adios amigo and hope for the best!
Another 10 days of hunt to go, and less than 25 days before the feline finally strikes. Let's see whether I have an adequate answer this time. Every day I motivate myself with lots of inspirational thoughts and movies like "Chak De!" "Taare Zameen Par" and crap like that.. but every morning brings me crashing back to reality..
reminding me that I'm just an ordinary bloke among the crowd, who stands no chance.
I'm gonna need lots and lots of favours from a certain lady, named Miss Luck.. But right now, she seems to be in a rather grumpy mood, so I'm just gonna hope that she finally smiles on me on the D-day.. (or rather, the C-day!).
Chalo cya.. the next post on this blog will probably be after my
rendezvous with Miss Kitty, and I hope I survive to tell the tale!!!
