That night!!

Once a year the whole of my state goes into frantic
activity. Its the day of twelfth board exam results.
Every girl or guy you see has the looks of person who
is about to hear his final judgement. Thats what they
have been told all year long and the result that they
get is gonna be their brand name for the rest of their
lives. At the end of the day some are happy. some are
frustrated.But In reality all are fooled.

As like any other person in my country even I had my
day. It was May 31st. Year 2000. At nine in the night
rumours start spreading that results will be out in a
couple of hours in the internet. Internet was not so
popular then in my native place and not many people
had access to it. So I was running around trying to
get access to some site.. think it was
chennaionline.com. That site had never supported more
than 10 users at a time and no wonder the server was
down. Came back home disappointed for not getting to
see the results and was awake the whole night thinking
of what could the possible outcomes be.

I tried hard to evaluate myself in all aspects.. how i
had worked.. where i could lose? I was even thinking
about all the celebrations that would take place once
my results were out. I was so confident or to say that
blinded by confidence that I was sure of getting great
marks and my dream college. My plans were becoming a
long list of endless dreams.. taking friends out..
asking for a bik.. giving tips to juns on how to
study.. But it was not so to be. Destiny was
different. One of the worst nightmares was to become a
reality the next morning.

The results went so bad that my friends had to take me
out to console me. and the rest i forgot what
happened. Everyone around started their chants: we
told u this is a turning point in ur life.. and u ve
missed it.. and they literally meant that i was not
fit for anything else again..

Looking back.. i laugh at those people.. who give so
much importance to what happens in an exam.. and now
the only thing i missed by not gettin good marks was
that the girl who i was to have a crush on was sitting
in the next class.. other than that.. oopss.. dont
wanna say more...

someone ritely said.. what happens to determines 5% of
ur life.. the remaining 95% is decided by how u react
to it.. and now i doubt even that 5% part..
