The mission has been accomplished.
I got into my dream college. I had no hopes of getting through, considering my deadly GK paper and the dreadful interview. Doesn't matter anymore. They decided to look beyond my screwed up but insightful answers and took me in. YAY! It hasn't sunk in yet. So, my celebration would go a little different. Each time I realise what's happening, I go crazy and scream and laugh and blabber, thus causing irritation-which-cannot-be-expressed to my entire family who are asleep or trying to not open their eyes.
Coming to the interview.
The scene was like this:
It was a panel interview. They were 3 very old people, 1 middle aged and 1 mid 20's female.
This was how they sat, with an addition at the left hand side. They were extremely sweet and grilled me in a very sweet way as well. I had not prepared at all. I never prepare for interviews. The answers are always spontaneous.
I very confidently walked into the room, sat down and they started shooting questions. I answered all of them real quick, except for the last one. The question was, why the GDP had gone down? And I slumped. After a lot of thinking and blanking out totally I gave them a very sheepish smile saying INFLATION (that was the only remote idea I had about GDP ). The man in the middle chuckled and said what about exports. And I caught the point and said global economy has gone down and the importing countries have no money, so, the GDP has gone down. He smiled and said I'm done. And I smiled as at how I managed to answer from the blink of the black hole.
Now, a BIG Thank You to everybody who stood by me, bore my nonsense and extreme mood swings. You guys are awesome. My Mom who truly believed that I could make through when everybody said I was making a blunder and Dad for being my strongest support even though he's still not convinced with my decision. AND a big special thank you to my biggest critique and the official holder of the world's most awesome person. You are the best person I have ever known. Thank you for being there.
Its celebration time. I'm smiling from end to end and can't stop beaming. So, I get into one of Asia's premier institutions. AWESOME.
Chennai Calling.
