Umm

Come to think of it, in my last post I ran the risk of sounding frustrated and depressed. The truth is... I am not!

In my 1st year exams at Gujarat University, I was awarded pass marks in two subjects - Economics and Advance Accounts - which were supposed to be my specialties.

Specialties, because 1) Due to a CBSE background, I had already studied these subjects in 12th and 2) I had prepared adequately for these subjects, written my papers well and expected good marks too, as a result.

Interestingly, I was offered the paper for the Business Management exam during the same term. For a petty sum of 200. I didn't take it because at that time I thought it would be unethical. (Sure... laugh your butts off!) And secondly, I was prepared well enough to do without any external help. The result in BM turned out to be a decent one eventually. 49/70.

But the results in Economics and Accounts were eye openers. 25/70 in both. 35%. That's pass marks. I realised it's not a perfect world out there. Extremely unfortunate things may happen to you even though you aren't at fault.

The TYB.Com University exams are round the corner. If someone comes to me tomorrow and offers me a paper, my hands won't shiver anymore. I would take it. The conscience is dead.

Like I said, at times you do have to look out for yourself. I have my own interests on stake. Selfish ones, nonetheless. Very selfish.
