"Who the hell is disturbing me. Who is there, damn it, stop pounding me you cold handsss..."

"Wake up bhaiya, your mom ordered me to put cold wet hands on your face."

"Leave me...leave me alone chandu i am not over yet"

"Bhaiya, its already over...you are overslept again today & by the way you have a phone call from some Sushmitaaa...of a male voice"

"Whats the time now? & its not sushmita chandu its Sush stop looking me like i am a Homosexual"

"Its 12:30pm & only 3 days are left for your CAT. & please don't call him Sush...its sushant"

"Ohh shittttt...ohh shittt...time is running time is running...i haven't even revised Quant wholly...please goddd have some patience...have some patience"

Well, chandu is our servant's son, always obeying & nevertheless mischievous.

Me on phone with Sush: Your call is on hold please stay on the line. Your call is on hold please stay on the line.

Sush: Come on you stupid i know your voice, give up now.

Me: ya whats the matter sush, stop calling me now i am a busy man.

Sush: ya i know how much you are busy...duh. I want to inform you that we haven't yet downloaded our Admit card, so if you some time call prometric & retrieve our passwords. It slipped of my mind.

Me: Ok i will do that, even i forget mine.

Sush gave me the number of Prometric. It was 1-800-xxx-9293 & i mistakenly dialed 1-800-xxx-2993 instead.

Operator: Hello Sir, how many kids do you have?

Me: I am unmarried sir. And does it have any significance with my enrollment.

Operator: Yes it does obviously.

I was wondering how come IIM were concerned about how nay kids did i have..!!!

Then after some discussion i got to know that i dialed a wrong number to some prep school for infants.

I put down the phone, checked the number & now this time it was prometric. I got our passwords & gave this to Sush & we printed our Admit Cards.

Two days before CAT.

As i was a last minute person i thought i should practice some questions to get the feel of the paper. I solved 50 odd questions of English & out of that 50, 38 went wrong. Moreover i got a message from Roy that he had scored 98%tile in a Mock Test which we gave a week before, in which i scored a dismal 92. It heightened me & my preparation fumbled. In a rush to revise everything on the last days, everything went wrong. Nothing was on the track, atleast it looked like.

A Day before my CAT.

I was on Pagalguy the whole day, practiced as much as i could & gained some momentum though. In order to revise everything, i forgot to sleep on time & went to bed at 5 in the morning, read the line again...at 5 in the morning, whereas i had to leave my house at 11:30 in the morning in order to write my paper which was scheduled on 3:30pm. So there were just 6hours left. I slept for 4 hours & woke up at 9 & got ready till 11.

22/11/2010

D-Day.

Note: Our center was at Under Construction Badarpur Metro Station & we had to put down at Sarita Vihar which was 2 stations prior to it. 

As me & Sushant had opted for the same center & same timing so i planned to meet him in Sarita Vihar Metro Station at 1:20pm. The reporting time was half past 1 & our exams was on 3:30pm. To add further, we were on NH-2, no bus nothing so we thought its just about 2 damn metro stations & so planned to take a stroll.

After 25minutes of walk.

"It seems i am gonna die walking G."

"I think we have done a blunder. We forgot to check the location on Google Maps Sush. Its our prejudice that the stations should be nearby but its not."

We talked to one of the passer by & confirmed that the distance between our venue & Sarita Vihar is of 6 kilometers. & we only had covered 2km mere.

Around 2:15pm we were there on the gate of the Delhi Business School, walked around an hour, & nobody was there outside of the Venue & it seemed that the building was closed.

The Building was Closed!!!!...
