Excerpts from diary -
"The journey started 1 & half
months back. From Software Engineer to parcel boy just for someone's GF, from
common man to SSB candidate, from thousands to last 121, from last 121 to best
32, from Abhinav to Chest no. 89, from Chest no. 89 to Chest no. 15 but
unfortunately didn't make it to best 7 who got recommended for medicals, my
best wishes for them. In these 45 days i enjoyed allot & it will remain one
of most memorable part of my life. Traveling 1700km for meeting someone, then
meeting his GF as parcel boy and the most funny part was everyone was lying to
their family members to spend time together. Loosing Galaxy Ace in Mumbai local
train, riding FZ at 100km/hr with distance covering more than 100km per day by
bike, clearing bank exam accidentally, getting call letter for interview for my
dream job, B'Day on train, visiting Taj Mahal for 2nd time, traveling 2700km
again, train late by 8hr so missed Shatabdi at Chennai, had to cover 6 hrs journey
standing at the gate on the train. Time came for SSB, entered SSB with much
expectation, got chest no. 89, cleared stage with 31 others, got new chest no
15, shared room with 7 people, made friends, given test after test, task after
task, GD's, lecture(worst exp.), interview, conference, result & out. So on
the 6th day of my stay at SSB stage 2 result declared & unfortunately i was
not recommended for the medicals. I was just 1 step behind the barrier when i discovered
new way of failure. Chest no. 15 returned back to his home and started shaping
his photo to get fit into the frame."
