Dream Turns True !!

It was around 9:40 AM and was caught up in the daily rigmarole that I have to go through before leaving for office. This time, I had the added pressure of my IIM interview results. It has been 5 long years, since I have been nurturing this dream to get into IIMs. Even after 4 attempts, sincere attempts, I couldn't clear any of the IIMs. This time around, as I had taken my GMAT beforehand, I had planned to apply to schools outside India believing that CAT game is almost over for me. It was my Mom who forced me to take CAT just as another passing attempt as the stake was too less this time. I took it. Around two months ago, I got a score of 99.22 percentile. Was unbelievable, but it gave me a glimpse of hope. I almost had become a subject of ridicule in most of the conversations whenever the topic of CAT and MBA sprang up. Most of them took me to a point of endless frustration. But this time around it was different. It is 9:45. Even after repeated attempts, the IIMB site seems to be down and my patience is deserting me now. I called up IIMB's office and they told me that the results are up. I thanked that person and logged in again. This time around the site was up. I didn't have the courage though to check on my results. With great conviction and courage, I decided to check my reg number. The list opened and I was there. Couldn't believe it. Not that I didn't have faith in me or my abilities, just that I couldn't believe it. I yelled and danced all over my place. With no one around to share the news with, I was all into myself. I then called my parents and sister and shared the news and then shared them with my friends. It was different today. One of the best days of my life. Will write about the days post call and post job in the coming days. Bangalore, here I come !
