The Moment When I Got Into IIM Indore - Srishtie Wahie
Life never gives you things when you expect, you get them when they're least expected. 7:00pm, 27th April, 2018, the moment I was signing off from my office with a myriad of apprehensions in mind regarding the uncertainty I had dragged my life into. Practically, I had nothing at hand, results awaited and a job already over. The moment I was to punch out from the office for the last time, a message pops up on my screen 'Congratulations! I know you'd have made it.' There's this adrenaline rush in my body, the heart beats pace up and the hands tremble. A little soul terrified of one email potent enough to decide her future course was just a click away from uncovering her fate. It happened for the first time that I wanted to stay in office a little longer and know what life has brought next for me. Instead of punching out, I went back to my desk with a head full of all kinds of thoughts jostling past one another and mustered the courage to open the portal and check my results. Ultimately, as the effect of inundating emotions subsided a bit, I closed my eyes, remembered the Almighty, took charge of my own thoughts and thanked God for whatever he'd decided for me. I unlocked my phone and a sudden surge of thoughts made me recollect the expectations that rest on my shoulders and above all, I was afraid if I'll be able to confront my inner-self if I fail at making it.
