Billi Do-Shoonya-Shoonya-Nau..!

Remember "Band of Brothers". Remember the D-Day.. the day when the Allied forces landed on Normandy. Remember the Americans fighting under constant shelling, crouched in a fox hole, surrounded by enemies. Nowhere to hide. Nowhere to run. When all that stands between you and death is the accuracy of your enemies shot! Pretty dramatic... huh? Picture this: Replace D-Day with 10 days of absolute secret-service type torture. Replace the Americans with a group of students who are (in the greatest probability) going to give the exam of their life! Replace Normandy with a pretty shitty test-centre (at least that's what they wrote on the plaque... pff) where all you could here was the sound of a concrete-mixer and growling labourers from an adjoining construction site. Replace the foxhole..... well.... don't replace the fox hole because that computer was . Replace the bullets and mortars with 60 questions, of which you have no damn clue. And as far as replacing that life-death conjugate is concerned.. that backwards-running 135 minute-timer would fit perfectly.

This my friend is no battle field. This is worse. It's CAT 2009. When we pulled out 1400 bucks from our dad's pocket, we had no idea what we were getting into. Filling the form was as fun as creating a fake profile for adding strange girls on Orkut. The preparation for the exam was perhaps the most easy part. I mean, sure, it's damn easy if you don't do it! On the difficulty scale, Rank 2 was the anticipation part. 5 days to go for the exam and your peers start texting/scrapping (minus the 's') you, they call you just to make sure you're "doing fine". And that's what makes the heat go up. By now most of you might have started guessing that Rank 1 goes to the 135 minutes of the test. Well... NO. Rank 1 is to what happens after you come out of that fox-hole. Its then that your stomach starts churning. Did I do the calculations correctly? Was my understanding of the comprehension good enough? Why was the answer to that question not there in any of the options? Is C the correct answer or A is more appropriate?.... WILL I BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH???
