Bye bye 2009...welcome 2010 :)

There were many ups and downs which occurred in the year 2009. Actually, this year made me much stronger in how to face different circumstances.

So, the year began with the toughest exam of the season- XAT, 2009 which was on 4^th January. As usual, it was a disaster for me. Again, I lost my confidence and trust on God. Then came 9^th January when CAT results were declared and I was completely shattered when I came to know that I missed the calls by just 1 mark. But still I had some hope from NITIE. So I joined GD/PI classes in Lajpat nagar by Mr. Malay Ray who is an amazing personality from IIMA. I took coaching for around 1 and ½ months. The learning experience was really awesome but the experience for attending classes was really pathetic as I use to meet people with IIM calls and I was the only one attending classes with a hope of getting a call from NITIE. I don’t want to name but some of them even mocked at me.

On one side, I was waiting for NITIE call and on the other I couldn’t concentrate on my final year BE project. Actually I was screwing my project big time. I was the same person who once told my fellow classmates that “final year project is the biggest thing in the engineering degree and one should do it very sincerely”.  I was so tensed that I even fought with P. People say it right that true test of your friends come when you are in your difficult times. No one was there with me except Panks who always gave me strength, who was always there to wipe off my tears, to hug me, to help me, to motivate me and to say me before interview that “don’t think about those bastards and give your best”. Along with panks, I also want to mention vids and vibs who were also there to support me.

Like this, I went Mumbai. Not to visit the most happening city of India but to test my fortune for NITIE. All went well and on 8^th may, when result came, I was in. The very first person I informed was Panks who was always there with me in my KHUSHI AND GHAM.

In all this, golden days of college were also coming to an end and I did not like it. On our farewell, we went for a night out. It was fun, probably for the last time. My heart was aching because now I had to leave the best part of my life-NSIT. The pain of leaving NSIT was really much more than the joy of getting admission in NITIE. Finally on 4^th june, I left NSIT and moved to my place. I stayed there for around 10 days and in all those days I used to talk to V, panks and N daily. On 17^th june, I left for Mumbai and then started another phase of life with some different taste.

I indulged very badly in academics in NITIE. I could hardly get time to talk to all of my friends.

Then in august, I don’t know the exact date, but adi was going USA for MS/PhD programme and I called him while he was on his way to Delhi Airport. I talked to him and felt really bad as now we would be meeting in December, 2010.I still feel bad as it’s been a long time we met last in November,2008. Then on 11^th September, V was going UCLA for MS and as usual I called her. It was my statistics exam on 12^th and I was feeling bad that a friend was going far away. I talked to her at 6pm and thereafter couldn’t study. That’s another thing that I completed my whole course before that :P.

In October came the summer placement week i.e. 5^th to 9^th. Again I faced failures. But this time many work ex guys accompanied me and boosted my confidence that I didn’t feel bad being unplaced. On 15^th October, I left for my place with A to celebrate diwali. On my way to home, I met a person P who is now my very good friend as sometimes good things also happen to me too. In NITIE, I discovered about myself that whatever bad may happen to me in the short run but in the long run AAL IZZ WELL :)

V came here for 15 days but we couldn’t meet as she left last night and we are planning our reunion on 2^nd January. As usual I talked to her with a hope that we would meet next time.

And now it’s time for a new year. I hope all ends well this year too.

HAPPY NEW YEAR....
