It is still Unbelievable

It was the usual Sunday morning. The day started off with a visit to the temple. We were home by 11:30. A cup of tea and the newspaper are enough to grab my attention no matter what tries to distract me. As I glanced through the pages sipping my cu of tea, the news started pouring in on the television. The CAT results were out. To be honest, which I try to be always, I was too reluctant to check my scores. But with my parents insisting on it, I was left with no option but to open to site to check my scores. I felt a temporary relief when the site failed to open. But the IIMA and IIMS results were out. I didn't make it to either list. "If you are not into the best and the not so good then probably my scores are really bad", I said to myself. The noon went by with a good lunch. It was around 4:30 PM.I again tried to check my scores and this time the site opened. What I saw next, took me back and forth the last 4 years. I had hit the 99.22 percentile. Unbelievable!! Not because I am not worth it, but it happened when I expected it the least. They say and I completely agree purely on the basis of experience that hardwork alone is not enough. There needs to be the extra bit of luck to see you through. In the next few days I got the results from the other IIMS and I had landed an interview call from IIMK, IIML and the coveted IIMB. These days I am preparing for the Group Discussion and the interviews.I really do not know how the gdpi would turn out. All I know is, I will put in my cent percent. What happens next is unknown. Friends, I want to continue this post and I sincerely hope that the news next time is equally good.
