After the results ....

Results are out. Me joining IIM A . No words to describe the happiness of my family members. Me went to share the news and sweets with the neighbours

Scene1
Me with sweets in hand - knocked the door
Me: Hi , please have the sweets. I am joining IIM A.
He: Congrats, where is that company?
Me: (Shocked for a moment...) Company? It is a B-School aka MBA College in Ahmedabad.
He: Oh! OK why are you going so far? Didn't you get anywhere near by?
Me : It is a good college so I am joining it.

Left the place ... pretty disappointing ... He is a student of a local MBA College... If he is not aware of IIMA who else would be?

Scene2
Me with sweets in hand - This time I will explain them in detail
Me: Hi Uncle , please have the sweets. I have got admitted India's best MBA program - IIM Ahmedabad.
Uncle: Oh Congrats ! What was your rank?
Me: (Feeling Better ...) I got 99.84% in written test which means arnd 300 among the 2lakh students who wrote it . This one was followed by group discussion and interview
Uncle: OK . So you have to leave your job here and go to Ahmedabad. When are you going there?
Me : June 21st uncle.
Uncle: What is the fees?
Me : It costs around 5 lakhs for the two year program
Uncle: So you have to pay so much even if you get a good rank.
Me : Yes Uncle. In other colleges it is even costlier.

Moved on ...

Scene3
Me - Thinking Just give them the sweets , tell them and get out
Me : Hello Uncle . Please have the sweets . I am joining IIMA. Got the final results yesterday.
Uncle : Wah beta ... Good stuff . Ab tho life ban gaya tera . This definitely deserves a bigger treat.
Me : Oh sure uncle !!! (Felt happy for it)


Hmmm... At last someone know about it. But this experience left me with lots of thoughts!!!
