It was around 9 o'clock or something and i was struggling to prepare (others rehearse the answers at this point of time for the 50th time may be and try to reproduce it in a manner which doesn't sound mugged up and all) the B-SCHOOL patented questions starting from an innocent killer "INTRODUCE YOURSELF" and going way deep into what even they can't imagine beforehand. So anyways i was trying to frame out answers which would sound farthest from the truth as only this deed done successfuly could possibly fetch me a seat i thought! So i tried to nullify each and every pinch of truth that could possibly show up in any of the deciding answers tomorrow! It was then that i got tired (happens a lot... am too lazy to work for 30 min straight !) and said "WTF ! i have one more left out ! Lets take a chance in this one and if i fail badly in this i will try and do better in the upcoming one (SP JAIN),totally a false promise that i made to myself, but it's a thing that comes naturally to any lethargic mind. That being said, the very next moment i saw myself pouncing towards the computer (my GF since may be 7th or 8th class and i can assure u it will be for many more years to come ;)) So anyways i reached the destination within a fraction of a second i.e. the most comforting chair in the universe with a gr8 back rest and like a PANDORA's BOX in front of it ready to be opened and get amused. Signed up on Orkut (no new scraps :(), tried to open up some conversation with some of my really OLD FRIENDS (God i miss them so much) but after failing to do so, browsed back to the EPL site that i had opened already. It's a general theory that i believe in. Generally i have noticed that the position of ManU (1st Fav) and Liverpool (2nd Fav) on the Standings table has always had a close resemblance to my FATE too. Silly as it is (i accept) but i have found this OUT OF THE BOX to be drastically true to a large extent during my whole life. Looking at the way both of them were rocking gave me an assurance that "K yaar ! Will see tmrw !" (asif if they would have been in bottom 2 or sth and even if they would have been so low on the table,i would have closed everything immediately and went back to prepare my crucial answers) Anyways being OPTIMISTIC (as it supported my laziness that time ;)) i then went on looking at various team profiles and managers in UEFA and EPL. Saw various NEWS on these sites and then thought of atleast scraping through the Political NEWS also. But the very few ones i read on the headlines again reminded me of the Hopeless Politcians and their terrible Blame Games. Browsing thru some of my favourite site (which by the way whouldn't have helped me in the GD/PI even to the rarest of Possibilites) i happened to gaze at a wall clock which was constantly trying to tell me that "SLEEP MY DEAR ! It's already 2 A.M. and moreover you are already on the edge, ready to fall off it ofcourse". Urged by it's (clock's) altruistic suggestion i decided to go to bed. Set the temp to 18 deg C (thought of having a cool night to smooth out the rough day ahead that was waiting to pounce upon me and tear me apart (atleast then i felt this). However my assumptions proved to be wrong and i had to wake up all the way amidst my sleep to interfere with the cool night (i dreamt of) which was otherwise turning out to be a FROZEN one! I guess 4 years in TN has made me prone and vulnerable to the PAST DARLING of mine, the "COLD WEATHER".Anyways i switched on the light and the very first thing i saw was my LAPPY, pleading to be placed at the TOP of my LAP. It would have been a cold day in Hell if i would have turned my back towards it. Quickly browsing thru the Folders, the icon kinda started drooling automatically over the "MOSCOW UCL FINAL". The apparent coaxing proved influential and i saw the penalty shootouts of 2008 and 2005 UCL finals (these are the only two videos which really lead to GOOSEBUMPS for me atleast). Filled with determination and satisfaction i closed my eyes (only this time it was the last one of the night) to prepare it to see the consequences of the D-DAY ahead and help me walk past IT !
A REALLY PEACEFUL ALTHOUGHT NOT A LONG SLEEP !
