New Begining....

This post is truely dedicated to people who never stopped thinking good about me and hoped for better things even when I have achieved my objectives so far....A week go things in my life were really smooth and well crafted and satisfactory & I was totally ready to embrace Bengaluru on 6th July. My family and I were very happy and contended with my future.....But there was some other plans for me made by my God...and probably he was not happy with my future and B'lore. Just few days back I got a call from IMT saying that my name was shortlisted for Nagpur campus. I was shocked..!! I mean getting IMT Nagpur in a not-so-good CAT score was next to impossible. The interview was to be held in IMT Ghaziabad (which was within my reach easily), 1 of the dream campuses of every MBA aspirant. I thought 'why not give a try?'. And so i went there, There were approx 65 aspirants....all shocked like me....all hopeful to give their best shot and enter in Nagpur. We had a written test where we needed to prepare a write up of approx 250 words in 30 minutes as per a business situation given and analyse the best decision to be taken according to the scenario. I made sure that atleast my word limit doesn't exceed, the writing is good throughout and most importantly the write up is sensible and mature. I was happy aftr that test but still in a favour of Alliance B'lor. Then came the interview time.........once again we all geared up to face the panel of 2 faculties. My name was called up aftr an hour of interview commencement. I had clearly nothing in my mind, was just ready to answer their multiple question banks. I asked permission to come in, sat on the chair right in front of them. Their 1st question was....as expected (as i already gave 2  really bad interviews), "TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF". I thought i would only say that much which i wrote while filling up my form and I did exactly that. But then they asked me what hobby I had apart from the listed hobbies- hmmm.....A tricky question..! I Coolly replied 'Travelling'. I was sure they would ask related to my newly said hobby, & yes...they did ask for which I was already ready and gave them names of variety of places so that they get a good picture of my choice. After that they asked to explain some commerce-related terms wherein I knew the answer of only 1 out of 3 correctly. Not a problem...mere saath aisa hi ho raha thaa previously...I was amazed at the time they asked me the Finance minister and HR minister of India and I gave them the correct names at 1 go...!!! I mean I was so proud of myself at that time bcoz I always tried to remember minister's names and many a times I failed miserably. Since i have done Prabhakar in Vocal classical music, a panel member asked the some details about Raag Malkos, I took a while remembering that but I could do it...anyways...but from the blue, the best question asked to me was of my favourite topic...Geography (precisely the political map). ! of the male member asked me to name the countries od Latin America....wowww...I was so fluent while answering this that actually they were so impressed that I had a good knowledge of it...I was, totally satisfied still in favour of B'lor. The result had to come that evening and when i checked my mail, there was a message unread by IMT. I opened it having sooo many emotions running inside my mind. But, as I told, it was a God-send decision...., I converted the call and was invited for PGDM course at IMT Nagpur. It was a totally WOW experience yaar.....I felt like climbing Mount Everest without oxygen masks.... hehe..!
That time I was really proud of myself and my ablities....what i gained from this was "even more faith from my family on me". My parent's head held high when I got through this and now they say it soo proudly that 'my daughter is going to IMT'. Thank you God, Thank you maa n papa n Ankurraa....and Thank you life for giving such a splendid opportunity. God bless everyone. :) :)
