Fast Forward to Nov 07...

Well...7 months have passed by ..After my first post...Life had been a roller coaster ride these days..Changes in my life...Lets jot them down...

1) IIM results came out in April...And as per Hon'ble Supreme court decesion, OBC quota got scrapped..So was my chances of making to a big b school...It was undoubtedly one of the worst days in my life..The day the results came out...Most of my friends who got IIM calls were overjoyed with their final converts...Everybody was asking about mine...Man it was painful...I left my office early just to avoid any eye contact with my near and dear ones....I was looking for a place to hide...from that obvious question...What happened to me ???

2) But life exists beyond IIMs...So I was again bck to normal life...I completed 4 years in IT industry in June this year..My project manager asked me again if I'll go onsite or not...Well..I have never gone onsite...Normel IT people find this somewhat strange...But then these were the toll taken by CAT !!..
Anyways, I had a word with my Dad regarding my onsite trip...Somehow this is one guy who has tremendous faith on me...And he again said not to go and try CAT again...Earlier I was apprehensive about CAT..I didn't want CAT to decide/control my life...But my ego...I found out that I am again ready to go for CAT..And I was waiting for someone to support my decesion...And it was my Dad..

3) This time the prep session was somewhat chilled...Not to give much attention to CAT...Last year my prep was good..That helped me as well....So even without studying 1 hour regularly, I was scoring above 95% in AIMCATs...Joined IMS...The least % I got there was 97%.
Finally the D Day came..My test center was same as last year...IPS Academy, Indore...And I wrote the test..For the first time without any fear and tension...
I don't know whether I'll get IIM calls or not..But this time I enjoyed the process...And that justifies my decesion of saying no to my PM for onsite trip..

Lets see what is in store for me from IIMS....Results are on first week of Jan,08..Wish me good luck !!
