CRACKED !

Whoa… Finally.. Itz over! GMAT is past and I am not sure how I should feel bout it.. je jus na sais pas…. Well do you remember the 2003 World Cup final at Lords…who would forget that! That’s exactly what happened today.. a debacle.

I entered the test room as Sachin Tendulkar would… looking at the roof… trying to say my last minute prayers…walking with my head down… concentrating hard…. flexing my neurons…Wait a sec.. did I follow all the rules of sentence correction.. Parallelism, As/Like idiom, Comparison…. Duh... Does that matter anymore! The important thing is I didn’t want to ruin the only live telecast that I was getting… (They do video recording at the test center...he he he).

Done with all the formalities, I sat in front of my monitor and adjusted my screen… yeah we’ve got the same problem, Sachin n me… itz our height… so what… we’re the best… ah! At least hez THE BEST for sure :-D

The first section was the essay section, with absolutely no field restrictions (no answer choices). The first one was an argument that I had already gone through and had no second thoughts and directly went for a perfect copy book straight drive… with no one to applaud but me during the last 5min while I was doing some proof reading… The second one, an issue, was horrible…I dint know which way to go… agree or disagree… in the end I tried to do both and ended up looking like Ganguly when he faces high pitched deliveries, ends up either being caught by the keeper or by the fielder at gully.

It was break time… (I miss lemon tea… Jeez…am I addicted!). I was trying to tell myself to concentrate on the first 10, try and avoid the loose shots (guesses), and once I am set, things would go by smoothly…

Play resumed… the middle overs are always crucial and often turn out to be the turning points in a match. It was no different for me… it was googly time right from the word go… (Oh how much I missed google!) I have to agree that GMATz sure got some variety… it started with a yorker followed by a leg break which was followed by an in swinger… I did try and make all the adjustments with each coming question and did a Dravid! I must have surely messed up a few of them…

Finally it was slog overs… with 5min remaining and 6 more questions to go… it was Dhoni time! I could be clean bowled or might even hit a six…my policy was to just hit it! and move on…..

BUT…Itz all over! n I am totally cracked up rite now…

FYI…. Got a 610 ;-(
At this point of time I really don’t know, if I would take it up again… who knows if I do do it could turn out to be my Sharjah tourney :-D
