Now this is my first attempt at blogging .. hope its easy read....
Ok.. now this is about a real life incidence.. no filmy story…one of the most important days of my life.. my GMAT exam.. Living in
As I enter the centre… I show my exam card and then my ID (PAN Card)..and she comes back…. Sir your passport.. I m like this ID is acceptable right? GMAT website said any government ID… then I heard the most annoying “NO” of my life….. she got the GMAT Manual.. and a fine print (like the smallest font it can get… like those “conditions apply” ones..) said Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis must show Passport as the Photo ID. The feeling was much worse than how u feel when u get ripped by one of those fine prints on the product offers..
Forget being nervous about the exam, I started thinking about the solutions for this mess now. Being 2 hours away from my house there was no way I could get the passport in time…. with my techie brain.. I started giving her options.. XEROX copy of the passport? Again NO… scanned copy of the original passport.. that was a new one for her … so she called the head office in
Then from somewhere, like Krishna Bhagwan in Mahabharata.. a professor from the college came to my rescue.. he gave me an extension of 2:30 and allowed me to start the exam at 1:00PM. Some ray of hope… I called up my friend in
Now I must say, he was one “JUGADU” (someone who can get work done). What he did was the riskiest but most effective solution…….
Can u think of anything……………
…………………………….
He went to the bus station in
The bus started from
Finally I had the smile of relief…… to say “YES”…..
All this mess… and now an exam for 4 hours……..an exam which was soo expensive that I could not afford to give it the next time if I failed…. Thank God… I scored decent… infact the best score out of all the mock tests I had given…..
So the end of it all gr8… but the day was one of the most adventurous...
Do you guys have any such adventurous exam day stories………….
Hope this wasn’t too long to read….

OMG, that must have been a horrifying experience for you.. and your friend is a realtime risktaker with a great presence mind ofcourse!!
An interesting story to start a blog with.. it actually made me read each and every line to fill up my curiosity for "whats next".
And one more thing.. writers should never worry about the length of an article as long as they are able to put all the interesting incidents they can(to bind the reader n make him enjoy it..)
As the reader, while reading, should feel as if this all is happening before his/her eyes..
it was not at all lengthy!!
So keep blogging!! it was great exp u shared here!! :)
i think this was hilarious!!
