The night when the dream came true!!

It had all started an year before my 3rd year, when everyone in my family started asking ‘What next?? Job or you still want to study??..blah blah blah..’. I wanted to do MBA because I didn’t want to tell it all at the very beginning. So,I got my books from my sister for MBA entrance, PGCET. People around me where more interested about me, than me.

By the time I realised coaching where available for whole year, 2 months had passed by. I wanted to do MBA but I was lazy to work hard or anything in the beginning. The days went on and I was immersed with college stuffs. Then it happened. No!! No!! Not exam or results, LOCKDOWN happened. The crash course which I had planned had to be cancelled. What would I do now??How will I Crack this exam?? How will I be placed at a college of my choice.

I cried for a day or two. I cribbed over it for a week. Then my sister shouted at me saying there is no use cribbing, but find a way to solve. Then within a week, I collected books and necessities from my seniors, searched for online videos and materials and also found few online courses conducted by colleges around.

Then the classes started, applications were out for filling online, payment for exam fee were told, I stood in queue for payment, issues regarding the payments were rectified and corrected, exam dates were released, they were postponed, they were again postponed and there you go they postponed again till October.

Finally the day before exam, the plans were made for the travel which got canceled, and then finally on the day of exam, my father and brother came all from home to my exam centre waited till the end and got me back home. That day after exam, apart from all the smart- hard work, preparations, and every work, I felt I would fail that was because of the question which appeared on the paper. I felt, I knew nothing out of it and I could see my only dream in life falling apart from me. My friends knew in which states mind I was in. This is the story of every student - When you feel you’ll fail, whether you studied or no, GOD is the only solution. He is the ultimate solution to one and all the problem.

The days passed, so did the week but my prayer kept getting stronger and stronger. I would pray everywhere, on bus, in sleep, in lunch and of course in temples and sacred places. The answer keys were released. But I had no courage to even open it and see. My friend checked her results, got to know what was the grace marks, her original marks and everything but I didn’t open. My friends kept saying that I would do good. My cousins kept telling I would do good so did my family. Those moments made me anxious because this one rank would decide my whole life, whole carrier , mainly my dreams.

Then my sister and BIL told me to make a list of colleges which I would be interested to join. Inspite of having no faith in the rank, I tried making a list where I included the colleges which would take ranks between 4,000 to around 8,000. I contacted the colleges, strike off few and finally a rough list was made. All most all my work was done and the only work which was remaining was waiting for the results.

You already know that on one weekend my cousins had visited us. If you don’t know, go check out now Chikk trip again?! That day, after everyone went I received a mail from one of my lecturer who would update us regarding every notification, saying the results were out. OHH MYYY GOOOD!!! Results were out. The results for on which my whole life stood had finally arrived. I was no numb, so much panicked that I just went and hugged my baby boo. Seeing my eyes filled, my baby was confused and suddenly she fell silent; I swear this happened. Soon I got a call from my friend asking to check for results. When I said I had no courage, she promised that I would go mad about it!

Then I went near God’s place, sat, closed my eyes and prayed for one last time. Then I got her call saying to check my results. Then I checked it!! I had prayed for my rank to be below 5,000 but my rank came as 541. My dream had come true. My path was set. My new journey had begun. My smart- hard work was paid well. Everyone were very happy!! But my thought went back to the list I had made, because I had to remake a list whole new. I saw my parents eye shining and my sister's ear to ear smile.

You know as it is famously said ‘ Kehte hain agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho ... to puri kainaat usse tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai’ which means ‘It is saying that if you really desire something from the heart ... then the whole universe will work towards getting you that’.

That was how my dream came true at night.

That is it for this week.

Cheerios!!

Until next time!!
