Tyrst with MBA

MBA - Masters in Business Administration - these are the few words which have haunted me since the past three years of my life.
The series of mock tests, mock interviews, their results, mugging vocab, solving timed test papers..blah blah blah....i am sure all the MBA aspirants would be able to understand these feelings. These sentences would follow me like the puppy in the Hutch ( now vodafone ) advertisement...whereever i go, my saga of MBA preparation follows ;)
A typical cribbing conversation in one complete cycle of form filling -> preparing -> final exams -> results -> interview >- final results would be :

Me: Yaar, this is the last time i am writting the CAT exam. if this time nothing happens, i will continue in my field ( whereas i knew that CAT form filling is going to be an endless festival for me which i would be celebrating each year, hehe)

Me again: You know, XYZ has got admission into ABC (choice of words is not coincidental!), i have been preparing for so long but nothing happens. It all about Luck and no hard work!

Me again: I hate this job, this year i am gonna prepare for GMAT, enough of CAT now. CAT doesn't deserve me ( innocent me ;) )

MEe again:I will apply for executive MBA now..what is the eligibility criteria for that?

There are umpteen sentences i remember which I used to share with my noble friends ( Thanks guys for that).

But now, the story has ended. Finally i got admission into one of the reputed colleges in India and i am joining on 13th June.

As they say, it is not the destination which matters, rather the journey. My tryst with this journey has ended....have learnt a lot from it and value what i have got more so because of this journey...

Have loads of stuff to write about it, but finally ending it with the crux of what i have learnt from this - "Yes, luck does matter...but it is nothing in comparision to the hard work and conviction you put in to reach where you want to be!"
