Against All Odds

Just a couple of days into the holidays and I'm already burned out being bored. This has been a long time coming. Someone has to say it. This is about the batch of students who faced virtually every academic change of this generation for the first time. My batch (mostly with the friends of mine at Krishnaveni...). We were the most daring academics in the recent times. Let me explain why...chronologically...


First, we entered our school in the 8th standard. Our school, apparently, was not recognized by that time. We all had to take a public examination in our 8th class, just imagine, apart from the rough times of 7th and 10th, we had to endure an extra year of public exams, even if we never cared about the results, neither did the school.


Then, in our 10th standard, there was a major change in the pattern (had to take 2 papers for each subject.). Believe me, that was a major pain in the neck, having to take twice the number of papers than was required.


As we entered Intermediate, it was more changes we were about to face. I dunno about the IPE exam pattern, but there was a major change in the AIEEE and IIT(JEE) pattern. Man, did those changes change our lives!! But we all came through all these quite alive :P, we enjoyed it, I assure you.


Then there was the change of patterns and syllabi in Engineering courses. Especially, the guys from JNTU can assure you that, it was not so easy. Then, of course there is this recession which has decimated the number of prospective jobs we could've gotten otherwise.


Now, the icing on the cake. A big splash of water on our future plans and especially for those who planned and prepared for the paper and pencil CAT. Now, we have the Online CAT and hell, we are ready to face it!!


This post is not meant to generate any kind of sympathy among people, this is just gloating that we were the best and hence, we were able to succeed - Against All Odds...


I'm sure we'll be able to keep this winning streak going even with anything that we face.


Let's ROCK!!!
