No Good Friday

I was kept awake all night by my screwed up biological clock and constant fiddling with internet in expectation of results. By 9:30 I was rejected by Kozhikode and at 10:30 I got the golden words on Indore’s site :

Sorry, your name does not figure in the list.

The first thought that struck my mind was how to make a wordplay on my sad situation to write on my g-talk status message. I know its sick but that’s how my mind works. So here I am fielding pings from people asking about results, telling them I didn’t make it and at the same time prowling the net for the Joker’s sad expression photo.

Have you ever pinged a guy asking for his results only to be told he didn’t make it. I haven’t but I can imagine how awkwardly stupid the situation becomes. Let me illustrate with a few eg.

Guy1 : hey results ka kya hua ??

Me: nahi hua yaar , no K no I not even waitlisted

sent at 10:35 am

Guy1 (wondering on his comp) : fuck!! what am i suppossed to write now ??

—————

Guy2 : oye result aya ?

me: aa gaya… nahi hua. if i had a call i would be gloating right now man

Guy2: k

Guy2(wondering on his comp): why did he use the smiley???!!!

me (wondering on my comp): why did i use the smiley???!!!

That’s why you should always check the status message before pinging somebody. Guy3 went one step further, he called me up , I told him I didn’t get through and then he decided to go silent on the phone. After 15 seconds in silence I decided to break the tension and told him I would talk to him later. Of course all these incidents look more funny when you are not in a foul mood.

By this time I was too overcome by exhausation that failure brings with itself in plenty and I decided to do the unthinkable. I selected the busy option on my g-talk for the first time and fell asleep. When I woke up I saw this status message on someone : Nothing good about this Friday. Amen to that…

Update: Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse there came two first years to my room today asking tips for CAT. Talk about timing. Between contemplating to punch their stupid juvenile faces and kicking their underdeveloped balls I finally decided on a noble course of action. I motivated them for GRE.
