No guys I am not ‘that’ famous as yet…
But I recently had my 10 minutes of fame, courtesy: Yoga and NDTV.An intriguing combination indeed!
It just happened and I grabbed the opportunity with both hands :-)

As a matter of fact, I have been attending the yoga classes in EVS over the last one month or so. Partly, to stay physically fit and partly as a refreshing time-out from work. Then came the pleasant surprise: NDTV people were going to shoot our yoga session (which they did for around 30-35 minutes). We all were on TV (Wow!!). As all of us left the yoga hall one by one, I was the last man standing there. Then came my ‘moment of fame’. One of the guys politely asked me if I would oblige them with an interview on the “Benefits of yoga”! How could I refuse the irresistible offer? With an emphatic ‘Yes’ , I headed straight for the mike. They assured me that this interview would be telecasted as part of their weekly show on ‘Yoga and Health’. I was delighted, but not sure whether I would catch the show on TV (what with these horrible power-cuts in gurgaon). So I asked them a favour: Please click photos of mine during the interview!! Well, they seemed more than happy to return the favour. And then IT started:

Q. Hi Jitin.. Welcome to the ‘Yoga and Health’ show on NDTV. So how are you doing?
A. I am doing great.

Q. So can you tell all of us how does yoga help you?
A. Well it’s the perfect stress-buster for the body and then all blah blah blah…

Q. Does it help you in coping up with the workload in office?
A. Yes absolutely. Infact, in my opinion it and then blah blah blah again…

Q. So would you recommend it to people working in the corporate world?
A. Yes why not! And again all that blah blah blah…

Thanks a lot for your time Jitin.
You are welcome.
And this was ‘THE END’ of my rendezvous with NDTV.
I was on cloud no. 9
And with all those fantastic photos, that ‘top of the world’ feeling engulfed me all over.

P.S. I missed the show on TV (power-cut again!!). But those precious photos would be there always :-)

Well its that time of the year again…
And do what you may, but you can’t run away from the CAT hoopla!
I tried my level-best to stay cool and composed…
But that eerie feeling is back again…
The feeling of déjà-vu…
Not even being close this time…
The feeling of CAT cracking me again & not the other way round :-(

And being in EVS makes it all the more harder to digest this fact!
With calls pouring from all sides and people reaching the zenith of percentiles, for once you start questioning your ability amongst this elite group!
Am I not good enough? or Is it that bad luck again?

And having flat mates scoring 99.99 and 99.26 percentiles does not help either!!

I could have…
I should have…
I would have…
But I did not!!

And its next time again…

On a brighter note:

Hoping to be ‘third time lucky’ :-)
