THE THREE DAYS- That changed Life

Hello Readers. I know it’s been quite a time since my last post. But then, I was very busy with my comprehensive examinations this month. I sincerely hope that you are doing well with your preparations for JEE-ADVANCED 2016. No, don’t expect any sort of tonic or magic from my side!!! Infact, there is something much more than that, something which will prepare you for the worst while helping you to remain optimistic  more often than not.

The memories of 24th-26th May 2015 are still fresh in my mind. Those three days changed my life completely and steered my boat in a direction I had never imagined in my wildest of dreams!! The first day was no less than a tragedy to me, something which could have easily led to depression while the last of these three served as icing on the cake- the cake which I cut on 27th May( my birth-date ).

While entering the examination hall on 24 May, I was pretty confident of securing under 500 AIR in JEE and the way Paper-I went, expectations rose even higher. But, probably the scorching heat, broken window, warm air loo and the burden of expectations ruined Paper-II and shattered my dreams. But who knew that everything was pre-planned by the Almighty.

Though I could not even sleep that night, the day after turned out to be the best day of my life. With Board Examinations Results declared on 25^th afternoon, I was on seventh sky and with journalists and reporters taking photographs and interviews, I had almost forgotten of what happened to me 24 hours ago! I had finally achieved what my school teachers and Principal expected from a DOMINICAN….

Then came 26th May, THE BITSAT DAY. Being completely non-serious about BITSAT, I even thought of skipping the same. But, then eventually decided to give the exam to prove myself that I am worth it and 24th May was just one bad day. With least of fear, I literally nailed BITSAT exam. Even after killing it in BITSAT, I might have not chosen to be a BITSian had I not been guided by my teacher cum friend Mr. Yogesh Pathak, the only reason of mine being in BITS!!!

Finally after two years, it was party time and the occasion could have been nothing better than my birthday on 27th May. As I said, everything is pre-planned. We just need to grab the opportunity laid before us and then, we will have a hell of a story to reveal to our juniors!!

P.S.: People are often motivated by their seniors. But, what if their juniors start off with something that  sets a benchmark for them. Yes!! Yes!! Before I even started blogging, the benchmark had already been set by a group of juniors. I will be sharing more about it in my next post.
