Go for the Glory or Go bust

Last few days have been quite eventful. Lotsa good things happenin in a week.
One of the events has been simply worth the mention.
The event that kick started it all was the big bang interview invite from one of the "Ivy" league Colleges. I know, I know..... its just the first step and the most important hurdle lies ahead. More so because now there will be atleast 1000 great minds who will be competing for those few seats. But, lemme take a pause n just let this moment sink in. Actually I couldn't believe they actually gave me an invite. As soon as i saw the e-mail.......instantaneous reaction was "Oh shit".......( never even realised when my boss from adjacent seat threw a furtive glance at me to check out what i was upto) . Next few moments were dedicated for making phone calls and writing mails.....a) to my sis b) to one of my closest buddies Ranjith c) to Min -----cos it was she who actually thought i had a chance even when i didn't even contemplate apping to the Ivys.Thanx Min, for being there for me.
Also hats off to Ajay and Yugita, who after knowing that i had appd to such a good school always hoped that i wud get into it. Ajay has been helping me through out. Buddy this post is for u. Infact, When i was clueless bout what to do next this guy has been a phenom with his info and research. I can stick my neck out n say, Ajay Simha is an HBS material. If he settles for anything less ......its a mighty loss.....not for him but to an institution like HBS.Yugita, on the other hand, went out of her way to reply to my queries(however silly they might have been). She has given the valuable insider's view on it....n can still remember her magical words which concluded with---- "hope to see u in Aug"
As i grapple with theWhys and Why nows that will be fired at me .....I just know that this is it..... . The hours of cribbing bout lack of opportunity n the bickerings on this particular "rejected" scenario, which had almost been the routine with so many of my colleagues in domestic b-school apping game, almost made me think that i was gonna go the same way this year. Maybe this is not the only aspect thats gonna see whether iam gonna get that coveted admit. But then....I am gonna go at it with the attitude that reads.......
