Nothing Taste Sweeter Than a Deserving Success

12th April was be one of the memorial days of my life. The day started at 12.00 AM sharp and IIM C came up with their list of final admits. This was the first IIM to declare it’s GD/PI results also. I entered my number and congratulation message popped up. Yes I got into India’s one of the best B school. It was really a great joy. It was 1.00 AM in night and I even couldn’t call at my home so shared the joy with friends. Then I was anxiously waiting for IIM A and IIM B results to get out but these guys made me to wait further. I waited last 3 years for this day and to wait for even 3 hours was unbearable for me. I tried sleeping but all attempts were in vain.
It was not a usual morning for me. I waked up before my doodwala bhaiyya came to ring my door bell. No signs for A and B results on their sites. I know these guys will declare them in their office time which is not going to start before 9.00. So I used this time to make up my mind and also called many friends and family members and told them that I am least bother about A and B results as now I have one in top 3 with me.

But actually I was not. When you come to such stage and you are sure you deserve the best your mind fails to settle for anything else. Mine was same case.

While refreshing PG n number of times I got the IIM A results link.The page was taking time to load and my heart beats crossed 100 meanwhile. When I entered the number my hands were badly shaking. And I pressed GO what come on screen after that ……

You have been selected for admission to PGP (2006-2008 batch), IIMA.

I jumped with joy….tears roll over my cheeks and last 3 years of preparation passed in front of my eyes in that one moment.

A chap who studied in Marathi medium school up to 12th in a remote place….had already tasted what the failure is in his NTSE and IIT attempts. Whenever he talked in English people use to laugh on his ascent and funny grammar. He came to know about the CAT in his second year of engineering. He never thought he ever crack it so neglected it next 2 years. But after giving NITIE exam he thought he will surely crack the CAT one day. The day came after 3 years. Meanwhile he had been not even selected in any of the top B-School. He never wanted to settle for anything than top B-School. Every time he failed, he waked up with determination to stand there firm. And he finally had done it……

This is snapshots of my journey to IIM A but it will surely not complete without my track record and I am proud to share it with you.

I owed my success to my friends, my family members whose confidence on me always boost my moral and yes the almighty who always there to bless me.
