ahhh.....smells like success...

Ever had that feeling of having hit a jackpot overnight??........
........i'll bet u have..... ........ but first the current affairs.........
..............VIII term (sem) is like a grindmill where you can neither enjoy studies (who ever did anyway !), nor the holidays (and believe me, it's nearly been one long vacation for the last month)......
.....anyway, the success story goes like this -- after a remarkably drastic experience in the PSM (that is Preventive and Social Medicine, for the uninitiated) theory exams, the outcome looked bleak... very bleak after the practicals...
......mentioning the date of results was a taboo........ hell! yeah, we were worried -- some for the fear of failing (at least I was !) .... some for the fear of losing those distinctions...

So, they came out, the results .... and I passed!! (thank goodness!!) ... no wait! got an under-20 rank .............. only the second time after Ist year !.......... and a distinction in Ophthalmology (notwithstanding the fact that at least 80 others got that too)......well that's something to rejoice i guess!
.........I'm happy, folks -- not because of the performance itself ( you know i'm not of that type, right ;-) )
-- but because now i get a genuine shot at getting PC............. what's that ? .... that's for another time
