As planned by me, I got up quite early today and went to seek the blessings of the elephant headed God.We were expecting that the results would be released before the end of lunch either in the 10:45 or the 12:50 break.But the examination dept. had different plans.
After the lunch somebody told that the results will be out at 4:00 in the evening.
All of a sudden, there was a huge crowd outside the Mechanical Engg. Dept. office. Some people had already seen their results on the Net.Students started crowding at the college's central computing centre,even dept. lab PCs were used for viewing the results.With all these places already overcrowded, I and some of my classmates decided to wait for the office clerk to post the results on the notice board.The clerk came along with a lab attender holding the much feared results in his hands after 15 min.I could hear my heart pounding.I just wanted to pass.I wanted to see the words PASS and not FAIL in front of my reg. no.
But those words evaded me for a minutes which seemed like hours(how right Einstein was in his explanation of the theory of relativity!)First the second yr. results were posted, then came the Third yr. results..Reg. No. 01,02,....23,24,...56,..78,79,....
Then the sheet which had my no. was hidden by the many faces belonging to those anxious souls standing before me.I had to wait.Then when I managed to get in front..I could see 85,86,..89,90,..then 91.
What I experienced in the next few seconds was agony...The GPA as well as the PASS/FAIL comment was hidden by the brass handle of the notice board glass.I had to push through to the first row to peep into the place that had my career plans written on it...and then finally it was there..those very words that I longed to see-PASS!I wanted to jump...
I had to do more of this peeping to view my GPA ...a decent eight point seven one.Then I started seeing my marks in each subject..my friends' marks...the toppers' marks(nine point two nine)...returned to hostel shared this happy news of PASSING with my friends...heard the marks of other dept. guys..there were 2 ten pointers in ECE...more than 25 getting above nine..similar was the case in other depts. too..nine point nines and eights....
But I wasn't bothered.thanked Ganesha profusely.All I wanted was to pass...Maybe I can improve my CGPA in the remaining semesters.Till then have lots of fun..after all what is college life for!
