And When it finally Happened

The wait for the results was a killing one to say the least. The first interview was held on 1st Feb and here we were on 1st May hopeful of seeing the results after 20 days(Original schedule said 11th April) of uncertainty and delays courtesy our HRD Minister Arjun Singh.
Anyways, I just happened to check IIMB's site for one last time before sleeping at around 12:30 am and I was in for a big surprise. Yes, the results were out. I had decided not to see the results myself and thus ran to the other room to call my brother to ask him to check. He asked my registration number searched for it in the pdf and said "ya, its there". But dude in which list? There is a waiting list as well was my response. He verified that its in List 1, the list for admission offers and he said its done, you are in and that we should wake up everyone. I was too surprised and shocked to say anything. We went to our parents and slowly said papa, iska IIMB mein ho gaya. And my father hugged me straightaway and I wanted to remain clutched for it was in pursuit of this heavenly feeling that I was slogging for an year. There is no better feeling than seeing your parents being proud of you. Next day my father, mother,sister and brother all were busy telling their friends about the feat, I could see the happiness in their eyes, the happiness which made an year's effort worth.
