Finally a call from one of the Biggies...Though, its not the call for their flagship course....
XLRI -GMP, the one year course seems to be a relief now. Lets see, whats in store. Interview is expected to be in the last week of February.
On the day of the result (17th Jan), at 7.30 PM, Krish mailed me the result link, which I could not open. Called up Harshad (my buddy) as he had checked his results by then. Gave my number & was waiting on the line...Harshad replied "Bhai, Congratsssssssssssss GMP call hai thera"..Was happy not completely though...
Anyways a call is a call & with due respect to the brand name & the faith they have on me..Gonna give my heart & blood to convert it...
Only one nagging thing is " XXL (IIM) desires, But XL only fits me (If I convert)"...............

CAT Results.........

An anticipated Debacle...
VA-94%ile
DI-95%ile
OA-93%ile
QA.............44%ile....
Now, what did I learn out of this......
*You can even fail in your strong areas in Life, accept it, admire it , learn from it rather enjoy it.....Infact more than this something else is also there....TEARS..yes, age doesn’t stop you from crying......The moment I got the percentile score, I was shattered..My mind knows that I had lost the game on 18th of November, but heart felt the jerk only that moment..I was controlling my emotions, I was reacting a little,I was smilling partly, I was bleeding inside partly...I was congratulating my friends, I was also feeling the other way,How it would have been If I would have scored in QA....I reached home very late at 12.30 am..Unable to focus at work, unable to focus on myself reached home..Didnt feel like sleeping, didn't feel like eating..Was browsing the net, then started chatting with one of my Best Buddies, Anupam (IIMB)..As my fingers were typing, tears started rolling over my cheeks.......Dont know why & what it was, but I cried for quite sometime & slept without my knowledge......"DREAM STILL REMAINS A DREAM" was/is the only feel....
