My experience with my MAT score

The 24th of December 2006. A day when my life was to be decided. My MAT result, The last hope to get addmission to MBA was to come. I was at Bangalore and decided not to check the the MAT result before coming back to Roorkee. I was not sure of it and I wanted to enjoy the last day of my holidays at Bangalore.My flight to Delhi was at around 7:30 in the evening. Akshat and I had lunch at my masi`s place.Then we both had some fun at Akshat`s place. Later we went to the airport. We reached there around 5:30Pm. We decided to have a cup of coffee at CCD. After that Akshat asked me to enter the airport. In the mean time I checked the flight time. My mind was all the time in the result which could change my life. I was so tensed but did not show it on my face. I found my flight was late by 2 hours. Akshat accompanied me inside the airport. I was really tensed. We had another cup of coffee and sandwich. Finally I headed towards the security check. Akshat left later we bid bye to each other. I was looking around while entering the security gate immediately the police men asked me to keep my mobile and other things to pass through the X ray. I went for the check. After the check I collected my mobile and other articles and settled down. My mobile started to ring. It was Anju`s call. I could analyze that MAT result is out. She told me what I knew. She told me she has got 550.50. She also informed me some other people’s score which I could not register. Anyhow I was tensed and just started looking for cyber café. I could find TATA`s wifi which was very expensive, still I purchased it. I was soon on my lap top checking result. The page appeared asking for stupid questions like roll numbers, form number, etc. I called papa asking the answers of all these stupid questions. He came up with the answers in just a few seconds as a jinn of Aladdin. I punched the number and other details. My heart beat going too high and soon the processing was over. The result was displayed. I was just shocked to see 687.50 with 91.88 percentile. I checked all possible things which could verify that it was my result like my name, date of birth, fathers name, etc. I called papa then I called ma and then Akshat and in 20 mins I made more than 15 calls. The list went on and in another 1 hour I made calls to all the number on my phone book. I kept explaining people that around 92% people out of the total number of people appearing in MAT are below me. I was very happy. Ma called me and told me that they had sweets I also purchased a chocolate and ate it. I was really happy. Everyone I called was happy. I had sacrificed several things for this day and the day was here.

Soon the boarding for flight started. I was in the aircraft and then again a tension triggered my mind "weather I will get admission with this score or not". I think this tension is a part of life. It will continue as life goes on. We have to find happiness from all this.
With the end of the day I realised that this was a true experience with life.

Thank you everyone who helped me achieve this day of success.
