Who Am I?? - II

.......A long pause. And then the outer facade broke loose and told the inner voice about all the vagaries of nature ( The software major and its Visa policies and the long maintainability of the systems it deployed at clients' sites....), and the societieal pressures to go to US!!. But the major reason still remained hidden in the graveard of my much-cherished dreams to....He tried his best to not to opened the pandora's box...but with whom he was juggling?? The inner voice, which knew about the deepest inners of my heart, soul and mind!

The question came as a bolt from the blue! "What about the much-torn-yet-not-extinct dream of yours?". And I played again the much old trick.....with a too naive face " Which one? I dont know what you are talking about?"

HAHAHAHA......a huge laughter broke the silence. "Good try! But i am too old for that....what about CAT and IIMS and an MBA??". Its difficult to stand such a too-dare-bare question. It creates the picture of a person who read The Alchemist but still couldnt follow his personal legend because......hid did a compromise with his dream! Compromise to go to US thanks to the fact diary he had...2 serious attempts at CAT with no outcome; filling up of the CAT form for last 5 years like a family tradition and yes parental pressure!

And the verdict was that i couldnt play a Howard Roark denying all those onsite offers......to appear in yet another CAT....But he wasnt the much revered character of Ayn Rand's Fountainhead........He was a mere mortal....Nitin!!

Enough scracthing of yesteryears' broken(s)!Lets move on.........!Will write a positive one on 19*th March i guess!

*Morpheous to Neo - There is a difference in knowing the path and .............walking the path!! 19th march is first-n-last shot at GMAT!! Hmmmmmmmmmm
