The crazy week followed by the best day of my life till date! 
7th Jan’2011!

Well true. This year 1st January wasn’t like all party, it was more of what happens next! Full of anticipation and a weird feeling…I don’t know how to describe that feeling in words. Honestly, I never thought getting a job or for that matter cracking an interview process is like the biggest deal ever, yes it’s huge but not like the end of life; but somehow unconsciously it got into me like hell. It’s not like I dig myself into the books 24X7, but a constant something went on pinching me. No I don’t know what that is! And I’m sure every one of us goes through this at some point of their life.

It became crazy when I felt this whole thing is getting on my nerves. Even my parents would vouch for it. Never ever in my life I got so tensed! I know I needed to keep calm but without count I ended up shouting at my parents more often than ever, getting confused and making silly mistakes! Just as an example, I had to take print out of my CV for three times, once getting the scores wrong, once getting some typing mistake, once format was screwed…felt like a confused mess of me! It was like getting to know the new me!!
There are certain experiences or situations when you get to discover the unknown you. The first time it happened when I got this silly crush on someone and it crashed, unveiling the hidden self for me! And then this campus drive was another of that kind. The former experience got me withdrawn with subdued emotions, matured much like a cold person if I can say and this one got me hyper, freak like an immature child! Stark contrast…interesting I tell you! ;)
And even more interesting was that on the D-day I was the coolest person I have ever seen in me! Well I think, that is the key to crack campus processes…holding your nerves. Some of my friends, who dint get through, even being much more intelligent than me, is due to this one reason. They freaked out.  Honestly guys, don’t lose your confidence. You are far better than many of us. And it’s just that you are getting ready to backfire in a stronger way :)

The two day marathon was a life time experience. The stomach wrenching waits after aptitude tests, before the final call of interview…and the final result declaration on the second day! The long waits in the fields, on the back benches, in the side rows of the seminar…followed by the moment when I heard my name being called and subsequent murmurs of soft prayers for friends to get through…all added up to biiigg bear hugs and loudest screams! Yes a day never to be forgotten!

This day comes to everyone’s life…sooner or later! Guys who have already had this day in their life, well you know what I mean J and for all those who are yet to experience this, trust me, you are just awaiting the biggest day of your life ^_^

u r ryt .... it is during adversities that u uncover traits in ur personality, u nevr knew existed .. traits buried deep, hidden beneath ur ( wat shd I say ?) outer, more prominent self ... however these traits r the truest, since there is no room 4 faking them, in some way they portray the real you ... that said , u summed up the situations and feelings nicely.... i'd just like 2 add that the interim between the final interview and the declaration of results, was one of the most memorable moments of my life.... the anticipation , the tense feeling in the stomach, yet trying 2 put up a brave front and fooling around wit frnds, the cold january night adding to the shivers, and yet there was smtng else in the night, smthng hard to put down in words, yet there, a mixture of opposite feelings, of apprehension and excitement, of comprehension and ignorance .... and then as u put it, the wait, the hammer in the chest as every name except urs is being called, and then finally THE MOMENT ..... well the rest is as u said ....
