GRE series - II

......contd

Day: -1 (Tuesday)
Time: 1:30 pm
Venue: D-Top-West,Nehru Hall
After having the lunch, i was discussing with Nitesh and DamRao (urf Appa Rao) in my wing. Dam, as he had experience of GRE twice, was giving me fundas, which apparently i wasnt aware of. Nitesh was trying to console me that i ll score good in the final exam no matter what i was getting in the practice tests. I was in a horrible condition then. Never touched the score of 1200 which is the minimum for getting into any grad schools. So, in a way, i was frust.

Then came the question of going to cal and giving the test. Dam suggested me to go the same day when the exam was, thats wednesday morning. He did the same thing twice. So, its decided that i ll leave kgp on wednesday morning 5 am and by10:30 i wud be at my destination. As the matter settled down, i went back to muggai. After alll i m giving a respectable exam, not like our semester exams that a day before study would do the job.

As soon as i went to studies, i mind was somewhere else. What if the train in which i ll go tomm will be late, late by 5 hrs. What if there occurs and accident. What if the rain god feels happy and pours down all his tears. I would be lost in the big city Kolkata in the rain and it would be very difficult for me to find the examination center. No, i have to go now. Packed my bag in a hurry and put the required documents and bid goodbye to my wingmates.

Time: 3:20 pm
Venue: Kharagpur Railway Station
The howrah local was about to come at 1530 hrs. It took me some time to decipher what this time format means. Hadnt seen this for so many days. When i did it, i realized that in the next 10 min train wud be here. Rushed to the ticket counter and took one. Luckily i met some friends of mine who were going to cal too. 5 of us ran to the platform no 6. The train was standing there. It was about to leave. All of us got inside one of the boggies. Yukk!!! It was first local train journey. There were no seats to sit. We kept standing for an hr or so. As our legs were revolting us, we sat on the floor itself. I took out my frequent word list and mugged a bit. Finally, reached Kolkatta station at 6:15 pm, around 3 hrs of tiring journey it was.

time to go for a haircut.....will continue after that.....cya
