It was around 10 o clock in morning when I got up and I saw that everyone in my home is engaged in some or the other activity. I was shocked because everyone in my home is so lazy that anyone hardly gets up before 10 o clock in morning. So I asked my grandmother what is going to happen today. And she said “delhi se koi ladke vale aa rahe hai”.ME”what? kiske liye ma?...she said “tumahre liye”..me( shocked )what? Ab ye kesi musibat aayi hai muje bina bataye….dadi ma atleast mujhe inform to kar dete..
Grandma .”your dadaji fixed it on phone. Last night I don’t know anything…….. he told to us last night about it that they are coming today…and you were sleeping at that time, So we did not inform you…".
Me: per abhi to papa nahi hai…na……papa ke bina hi………. well while I was talking to her I heard the horn of car, so I went to open the door….and I saw 5 people coming out of it…among them one was a middle aged lady, three man were of around 50, and one was of 24-25(but I did not get the chance to see him. I just had a glance when he was sitting in his car….)…..i was asked to get inside and get ready but as I wasn’t happy with my dadaji decision so I refused to do so. …but my mom told me --nothing will happen if you will create a scene here….ultimately it will be your decision so don’t worry, now dadaji has fixed it and you should respect his decision as we can’t send them back now…..
Well I was forcefully asked to wear a sari though I was not comfortable in it…moreover I was so nervous that I was just trembling….after some time I was called to give my aptitude test for SB( sasural buisness management school). Where my paper was designed by Chairman (father- in- law) and the Vice-Chairman (mother -in -law) of the SB school, it was pretty easy for me. I sailed through and scored whooping 99.99% percentile.
Which gave me the confidence to perform well in gd.
GD: this round was conducted by other two uncles who were the staff representatives of SB management school, and the GD was beyond my imagination…..it was pretty easy for me to clear this round. Which again gave me some confidence to face personal interview……….
PI (personal interview)..it was this round for which I was nervous, and trembling as I never had any experience of this kind of interview…..i was not willing to go through this round but then (Principal …mere..Hone…aap samaj hi gaye hoge… ) want to conduct this round as it will decide my willingness to get into this B SCHOOL…so I had to give this …but as I was so nervous, I was almost sweating and worrying as what is going to happen? What kind of question is he going to ask me? What and how should I be answering?...well my aunt wished me good luck and gave some tips(tips to behave well with the principal of the b school)..so I just entered ….well after entering into the room I forgot all those tips……my heart beat was around 500 pulse per minute…my mind was filled with lot of thoughts that I dint realize if the Principal had come in…
Me( gaping at the floor )
He: hmm hmmmmm…..hello
Me: (slurring due to nervousness)…he….l………..l….o….o
He: how are you?

He: now that’s fine……so preeti, u must have got some idea that why I called you to meet me personally …. Before our parents decide something let me know something about you….

He: apke dad nahi hai, kya lagta hai aapko…
Me: dad ka kya karna jab miya bibi raji to kya karege pitaji)..well ha vo to hai
He: well ab chalte hai final decision aapke papa ko lena hai
Me: ha.(.i came happily as my pi went well and I was sure that I will get admission into this SCHOOL.)
But at the end papa said that I am too young to get into this b school, and told me that there are many such branches of this B SCHOOL…I can get into anyone of them…once i get some work experience it will be easy for me to understand the basic nuances of SB management.
