IIM Bangalore beckons :)

If you have read my previous post, then you must be knowing, the big "B" rejected me and I had started my ride on a highway to hell. I was not even in the wait list the B had put in their website. And the dream of to-be-at-B  got shattered in no time. But, picture abhi baki hai mere dost.

There came the twist in the tale, a phonecall from a stranger :o (filmy!!!) An unknown BSNL local landline number flashed on my screen. In normal circumstances I wouldn't have picked up the call but I am so vella these days, I had nothing better to do. Tada, it was the call from the IIM B admission office. 

B: May I speak to Ashis Nayak?

Me: Yes you are. phew! phir se koi credit card wala hoga!

B: I am calling from IIM B admission office

Me: Yes sir (excited by now, but why!!!)

B: Your waitlist is cleared...Interrupted!

Me: Wait a second, but I don't think I was wait listed even...(doubt hone laga, kahin ye mere koi kamine dost ka bhasadbazi to nahi hai)

B: Well your waitlist number was 66 and we had posted the waitlist till 65 (phew! so near yet so far) and our 1st waitlist is exhausted, so we are offering you the seat @B

Me: (speechless, Is it happening for real!) So, you mean you are confirming my admission or just informing me about my waiting status? (Silly me!)

B: We will confirm once you accpept;

Me: Accepted, kar lo kar lo :P :D 

Few more info and thank yous exchanged :)

The first thing I did was "checking the caller number with the IIMB Admission office number" hurrah! it was the same :)

That moment reminds me precisely of the Vodafone ad; I was looking around to explode my excitement; I punched the air with all might; Ran all the way to give the news to someone very important who was craving for this piece of news ;)

All these years, I have been feeling proud in saying others that my this friend is in IIM A or that friend is in IIM B etc; Now time has come to feel proud of myself; Well done dude, Pat on the back :)

I am running sort of words to really express my elation in words :( But trust me, it's a cloud 9 feeling :)

Surely, things can't get any better, any sweeter.

IIM B beckons, or as they say "B" is the place to be :)
