Back to my blog after ages. Since my last post I didn't get time for myself, hence couldn't come back with a new post. Today, sitting in my balcony on a Sunday evening with no interest in sports this weekend (Arsenal drew y'day and I was very disappointed and IPL anyway sucks), I feel like spending some time with myself. Last month was a happening one. All unexpected things unfolded one after the other. To start with, I cracked CAT......(was dying to write these three words together "I cracked CAT") and that too without studying. It was unexpected because after the last year's toil for this exam, I couldn't even garner a single call. But this year, the unexpected started unfolding on the day the CAT results were announced. I found my number in the shortlisted candidates for IIM-S. I was surprised but happy at the same time. I felt like my last year's diligence was paid off. I may or may not convert the call, I may or may not do MBA this year but atleast I can tell the world that "I cracked CAT".
A couple of days later, I found myself short listed in IIM-K and that added to the satisfaction. But the real shock came a few days later...........IIM-B............man, I was stunned.............getting a call from one of the three biggies was a dream come true for me. I don't know how well will I cash upon this opportunity, but "a call from IIM-B " was more of an achievement rather than opportunity.
I am writing this post after my essay and interview of IIM-B. I seriously cannot judge my performance in the interview. Neither did the interviewers give any sign nor was I in my senses to judge myself (I was toooooo nervous). I don't know what the future holds for me - IIM-B or an year ahead in Cisco. But so far, this "belling the CAT" journey which began in early 2008 has been interesting. Right now, it's time to halt for a month or two before the further travel plan is revealed.
