The nightmare blues before the D day

I know I should have written this way too many days back, but Procrastination is my middle name; better late than the memory erase permanently from my head.
It's the story of the night before the D day, the day when the IIM results were supposed to be out. For the people who don't know or who haven't read my earlier posts, I had managed to get calls from IIM B, I & L. And I was expecting B & L to call me for their coveted program after satisfactory GD/PI. (Indore being a disastrous experience for me)
That very weekend I was out of town and more importantly devoid of a PC and Internet connection. So I had to rely on my friends to see my results and inform me back. As it happens so regularly in India, the results generally get published hours before the supposed-to-be time. Quite naturally, everyone was expecting the same this time around. "You don't know when the results will be out" make the wait more agonising :( I had told my friend, yaar agar na bhi hua to bata dena hogaya hai, don't spoil my vacation :)
ASA the clock started ticking 12 midnight, the wait became more difficult and difficult. Called friends few times to find out, but not yet! The process continued till 3, when friends (read: I didn't) ran out of patience and I had no other go but to wait till the kuku-du-ku happens. Yaar, sabse jyada fatti hai with the thoughts of "your nice friends will cordially say the result hasn't come when they see you are not selected" huh! (I am a complicated thinker, ain't I?)
Called up bacha to find out about the results, wo to sala ghoda bechke so raha tha n finally the news came, "beta IIM L ka results aa gaya hai n tera hogaya hai". 
I can't describe that feeling, that was so fucking awesome; worth of the whole night spent in nothing-short-of-nightmares :) 
Well the rest two results also came and both of them were surprises; No convert from B and Converted I. The later part of my B story will follow in the future posts :) Till then cya!
