I woke up in the morning, feeling extremely elated - cos this was the day my 2 months of waiting were gonna bear fruit. Yes, I am talking of my SP results. Today was D-DAY, and the results were gonna be announced.
I was one of the several sincere aspirants, who wanted a break-through MBA career. My one and only call for the season was an SP Jain call. It was a DO or DIE situation for me, and I prepared decently well for an interview that could have brought a new dimension to my life. After my January 29th interview, I was confident. Very confident, cos in my perception I had a kick-ass interview . I have NOT seen a failure in life, and believed, my success graph WILL go up. The confidence reigned in me day and night. I dreamt of residing in Mumbai as an SP-ite. I started thinking of what I would do for my DOCC project. I started thinking of how I would fund my education. I had a clear-cut plan in mind. I agree, there were times I thought, I ll give another shot at CAT, but, somehow, in the back of my mind, I knew I wanted it - Cos I know the trauma and pressure of preparing for CAT for another year.
Anyways, I was at office, refreshing http://www.spjimr.org time and again - hoping that my dreams will come true. Believe me, I spent the whole day at office refreshing http://www.spjimr.org. And, finally, when I saw the results, i couldnt find my name. I was so sure, something went wrong that I kept reading every name in the list. It took me ten minutes to digest that I've not been selected. Wierd, but, I couldnt cry. I wanted to, but I couldn't. I wish I did.
Confident as I was, the moment I saw my name wasnt there, my mind ran towards CAT 2008. Its gonna be a tough journey, but I always believe that hard work and sincerity pays , no matter what. I guess, the feeling is yet to sink into me currently, but I soooo hope, that, when it does, I remain as confident as ever!
Its a different story, my CAT 2007 journey ended in a tragedy - But, I had a beautiful time going through it - Be it the Saturday-Sunday mocks with friends, the Byju's CAT classes, Analysis of mocks, or the combined studies - I had a rocking time.
It would be unfair, if I dont thank my good friends Pratima and Harsha - I've shared with them my every emotion , and they were as excited for me as I was in the morning. I was so touched to see Pratima refreshing the results page every now and then to check my results. I'm blessed to have friends like them !
One day after work.

Hey!
don't be sad !! Challenges are always part of life . Your "failure" as you put it makes you stronger and more determined to achieve something bigger and better ! Don't worry. Destiny has something BIG coming your way . Leave this SP thingy and move forward !!!! All the very best!!!
Remember: A failure is defined by what criteria you measure it against and since you set yourself real high standards , this can happen sometime , but doesn't mean you come down from your high standards !! Keep working ... and as you say sincerity and hard work definitely doesn't go unrewarded !
