24th February, 2010.

This is the day. A day I would never overlook. A day full of anxiety. A day with a perfect closing shape. A day that is least susceptible to get repeated. A day with lethargic start and a picture perfect end. A Wednesday that has everything. 

Just as the usual phase, I was all ready for my college hours. Being in 6th and a crucial semester, I hardly planned to miss or bunk the lectures. I was rather regular to my college. But that day was somewhat dissimilar. Our respected fucking MSBTE was gargling the dates for our 5th semester results during that period. And suddenly, I see what ! The date was posted. It was the same date cited. So, I planned to stay at my home.

I started planning the day, because it could have been last day of my freedom. I planned to dig some junk food. Moreover, it was India versus South Africa that afternoon. A double treat to myself. I went excited as well as eager to know what my fate brings me through the results. So, I ordered the food, turned ON the TV set and fused into Neo Cricket. 

The match started by 4pm. India won the toss and elected to bat. I always had a fascination to watch India bat more than bowl. So, I was glad. Simultaneously, I sticked to the internet, with the MSBTE results' page on my monitor. The results were to be disclosed by 3pm, but as we say, MSBTE rocks \m/ and sucks, they shifted the time continuously.

The opening pair took the blessings of the Earth God and entered the ground. It was Sehwag and Tendulkar. Out of them, Mr. Viru wasn't loving the whether. So, he went back soon. Tendulkar started playing as usual, along Dinesh Karthik. Time passed by and progressed and suddenly Tendulkar came up with a century. Being normal for us Indians, I clapped and applauded him in my mind.

After that, it was a BlitzKrieg  by Tendulkar. That robust attack with the Adidas Willow, by the hands of God himself, brought Tendulkar to 192 n/o. Palpitation was obvious and that too, at the rate which was beyond measurable. Anxiousness concerning results made them amplify. And ultimately, the present spoke with a roar, that shattered history. It was Sachin Tendulkar with 200 runs not out with a humiliated grin. On the other flank, it was Saeed Anwar forecasting terrorist attacks on Tendulkar. He was traumatized like never before.

This concluded, 'God wanted to play cricket. And so he played through Sachin Tendulkar.'

I was so happy, that I almost forgot about the results for a considerable time. I started calling my friends in college in excitement to deliver the news. In turn, they asked me about the results. And so I recollected the horror. I, then, quickly entered my hall ticket number and expected the unexpected. Still, MSBTE showed up their sluggishness. 

Time was slipping as fast as 1 hour per second. Eventually, I arrived across the page and pressed the ENTER key. The result page got unbolted. I hastily dragged it down to perceive for marks. And I was exposed to  WHAT ! It was 83.87% marks, I inspected and rechecked. And was simply STTUNNEDD !

This concluded, 'God was always with me. And that made my VESIT hopes all alive.'

I was probably, the most ecstatic person on the planet earth. I witnessed an extraordinary, bizarre double hundred and an upright, high quality results(At least felt by me). I, immediately, woke my dad up and touched his feet. He congratulated, both me and Sachin. 

After, I strongly felt that I was closer to my success towards both LOVE and LIFE(Career). I was a step ahead and decided to count them further more. I owned no words to utter what I actually felt. So, I went muted, the next day in my college. Everybody was happy and so was I. I would never disregard this day in my whole life.

What A Day !
