Luck favours the Brave

Ohh My God, this has been one heaven of a journey to enter into Welingkar and then to celebrate it.
First and foremost I would like to thank Siddharth for all that he did during this entire madness trip. I mean it would not have been possible for me even to think of going to Pune at 1.30 am if it had not been for you. Those calls which v made to each other before i left and ur encouraging words about taking the train right away, really made the difference. That masala Chai at 2 am and a round around the super-duper Magarpatta city were the best things to experience after that tiring journey of 3.5 hours.
Then the best time of my life begins, we wake up at 6.15 and after having a bath and all that we leave for Pune University's PUMBA College. We left at 7.15 and reached there at around 8.10 and we see whole lot of crowd standing there outside the PUMBA College. The count of parents was almost double the count of candidates eligible. At 8.45 am the ppl were called in and thankfully no parents allowed inside. As per the first set of ppl to be called in i was the 8th one in the merit order (my actual rank was 117 but 109 ppl ahead of me did not turn up, after reading this, few of you must have exclaimed "OMG"), Well hold on your breadth the best is yet to come, now there were 4 seats in sydenham PG, 2 seats in welingkar and 1 in KJ Somaiya. While the admin staff there was busy trying to figure out how the sysyem works, first set of ppl gt chnace to discuss. N guess what, 2 out of tht 7 did nt knw JB has no seats and so there were nt eventually interested in the seats i was contending for, so i was assured tht i wud get in one of three anyways, but i wanted welingkar over the other 2. Now the main battle begins, one guy ahead of me wanted welingkar and so 1 seat and i was calmed, But there was one this wierd guy who also said that he wont take any college apart fm JB, apparently pretending to be one of those two i said earlier. But, when his turn came he took welingkar n then i was like wht the hell, n so as per the calculations i cud see wel go away frm my hand. Now the God has his role play in this drama, somehow the guy who said he will take welingkar, went to the counter and took Sydenham PG. (That was like something, isn't it?) N finally my turn came i got the last seat in Welingkar !!!
Well, after tht was series of calls and chats with the most wonderful and beautiful ppl i know on Earth. After speaking to Locales, i made calls to US without even bothering wht time it wud b there now. But Ppl were so caring and loving that they took my calls at midnight and having stamina to write 2 blogs and shouting like anything...Thank you all for being so !!!
Then, I went to Lonavla where my batch mates had planned a trip n now since i was the last one to enter the class, i went there. Met them had lunch at 3.30 and then since i cud nt meet Siddharth and Aastha, i went back to Pune and met them at 9. In the mean while Aastha, siddharth n myself were convincing Bala to come Pune so that we can Party harder, bt Bala refused to cme and then he surprises me n aastha as sidd knew he was coming, and oh mann bala, thank you fr being the part of my happiness and then our celebrations which went on till 3 am. Needless to say, everyone was in "High Spirits" with the most hilarious stories and enacted by Bala, his stories of "Crocodile", the act of "highly unstable guy in his building" and "the DX lady Neha" had us in splits. It was one hell of a time mann. At this point, i would just add that Siddharth is really lucky to have the room-mates and cool friends like Pradeep, Mathi and Hitesh, they are just so fun loving and lively folks.
At 3 we finally decide to sleep as bala n me wanted to catch bust to mumbai at 5.30. We woke up at 5.30 and in the cool climate we left frm Pune. Bala was pissed off with the Bus wala as he travelled in the same bus last night and they had put "Har Dil jo Pyaar karega" which bala was upset with and now we were in the same bus and we were watching "Raja Hindustani" and the reacions frm Bala were worth watching, all the way we kept suliking about the movie and everything tht happened in it.
Now, i am back in Mumbai n to become thoda senti n philosophical, i agree with what my friend Manasvi said in one of her post, it had been worst time ever since i took that decision of not filling up gujju quota form, found myself amidst difficult situations where in I had to defend myself in taking this Idealistic Step in the Practical World. I was ya obviously unhappy with the way things went bt never regretted my decision, i decided nt to give up n strted prep fr CAT again. But, nevertheless wht happens, happens for the best and it did. Apart from the strong sense of destiny, will power and as Bala says "Following the ethics n principles", i also personally feel that the kind of appreciation & respect u all give me for whatever i do, makes me just strengthen my beliefs.

But, after this episode of my life, i now knw wht they mean whn they say "Luck Favours the Brave."
