It was 7th of December 2009 when it all started. Today was Gau’s (sandeep) Birthday, and i was not in a mood to call him, reason!! He haven’t greeted me on mine either which was on 3rd of December. But dun know why i called him....shayad this is an elegant example of destiny...i greeted him....after doing some balderdash , he asked me how my prep of M.B.A was going on. I told him that i was much optimistic about IRMA and XIMB, as i am targeting for rural management, and i m putting my 100% effort for it. He then asked me had i filled form of XISS-Ranchi. I asked what that is. Then he told me, this college is also a champion of Rural management. Carelessly i told him okey ll pay heed over your information.
Results of IRMA was out and i missed it by 1 marks. CAT was disastrous. XAT was average. Only two things were infront of me, one was call of XIMB, another CET-MAH exam. In short i was HOPELESS!!! Then I remembered about XISS. Opened its site and the very 1st thing i found was :-
“WE DON’T ACCEPT ANY DONATIONS. PLEASE DONT GIVE DONATIONS TO ANYONE”
I laughed a lot and was feeling very skeptic about this college. I called my friend, he assured me that dun worry, xiss takes donations but I’ll manage in your case, I have got huge contacts...blah blah!!!! Then I checked for its last date, and found only 4 dayz are left. Draft worth rs. 650 was required. I downloaded the application form and called my home sweet home for monetary assistance. They told me okey we will send you money tomorrow. I had to fill form immediately because if I wait for money to come then I would not be able to send the draft @ right time., so I borrowed money from a friend and made draft. Fortunately Draft was with me @ 12o’clock. Now I filled all the forms and went post-office to submit it. Post office personnel Refused to take the post for speed post because in the address of XISS, P.O box number was given. They told me to just mail it simply. I rushed towards courier office , they also refused to accept it. Condition was very bad. I Was thinking what to do. Then i don’t know what made me call to @ xiss office . I called there and blurted my dilemma. They told me just send it without P.O box number. At first i was scared then i thought leave it yaar.. if accepted good good .. if not vry good. So, i mailed my form without po box no.
Now it was time of getting shortlisted students for G.D/P.I. lo!! my name was not there in the list. I was more or less fucked up. I thought what the hell was happening with me!!!! i called to xiss office nd told about it. They told me not to worry as a second list of 15 ppl is also coming. If your name is not there in that list then assume that your form was rejected for XYZ reasons.Fortunately, my name was there in the second list.
Now it was my g.d/pi time when i reached college i found a girl from I.M.S (ankita natal) was there. As i had never talked to her, I preferred not to talk. When i reached the hall i found approx 70 ppl were there. Then i did the stuff which i usually do @ every examinations. I started scanning out that who can compete me, i found every1 here can compete me coz they all were looking great and speaking beautifully. After waiting for 5 hours my turn of G.D came. I was exhausted and hungry too. When we were made sit in a room for G.D then i was not knowing that one trouble was egarly waiting for me. My form was absent!!! It was not with the instructor. After 25 min 1 staff came with my form then i was relived. Anant sir and Sanjay Verma sir were there in the panel. All was well in G.D. Now, when P.I started Bhagat sir and Panda sir was there for it.It was satisfactory.
As my interview was over i asked chances of getting admission from gau. He again assured me not to worry, he is there.
After some dayz i found i was kicked off from XIMB. I thought everything is over. I called gau and now, he told me that no contacts are working. If you want to take admission then you have to give approx 3.5 lakhs. I told him that my parents are not going to give a single rupee in the name of donation, so is there any chances for meritorious students @ xiss. He simply told me only 10% students are meritorious here. I told him to forget about it as i am not going to take admission there. It was very disappointing to be betrayed like this!!!! I was very depressed actually not able to think, and was planning to commit suicide. In this period two of my friends helped me a lot. One was Niraj, and other was Raj shekhar who is currently @ LBS,Delhi.
Then after few dayz CET-MAH results were out and i scored good percentile(~98) and was very sure of getting a good college through it. My G.D/P.I center was @ Mumbai. So, 1 day I went to cyber cafe for reservation. I called my home that incoming for Bombay was available but outgoing was in waiting. In between i thought to check XISS web site to see final results, already i was two dayz late. At first glance i didn't found my name so, i closed the document and started checking for logistics. Don’t know what happened i reopened the document to see how many girls they have selected for rural development course. Suddenly i found my name @ 26th place.th position......
I AM NOT SURE THAT WAS IT MERELY A LUCK OR I WAS DESTINED TO COME AT THIS PLACE BUT 1 THING IS FOR SURE:-
"When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream"
