Reaching Delhi for NDTV Scholar hunt

Okay, so I did qualify the Preliminary Online Test (POT). It was very very easy, but I still took a bit of help from Google and , well, completed the test in 18 mins. After the test was over, I just forgot about it... for WEEKS... until one day, I was fed up of the "Study for JEE 2008". Checked www.ndtvscholar.com and I had passed the POT. I was in the top 400 of India. But still, it wasnt much of an achievement. The achievement was yet to come.

Having passed the POT (no pun intended, please), I had to appear for a subject exam. My centre was Delhi. I had no idea what the exam would be about... would it be about general things, or would it be about making things (engineering) or would it be about *sigh* PCM. I decided to work for the worst case, PCM ;). Glanced through Brilliant's YG File, revising all major concepts and even doing some questions.

There was a lot of photocopying that day and hunting for photographs. And by the evening my father an I were ready to leave for New Delhi. It was a "tough" way to the railway station. You don't want to know that :).

Finally I was in the AC sleeper. And as always, there was also a sardarji. :) As usual, very talkative, his 2 mobiles were continuously being used until the train started. And there was another person, continuously talking on the phone... for... 3 hours... in a very "hushed" tone. ;)

Finally, everyone went off to sleep, at around 12:30. I needed some rest... I had an exam the other day. I don't remember a thing. But I remember Mr. Walia and Mr Deb (Kasam se watchers know them reeeaaallllly well!!!). Mr Walia's phone was vibrating, and Deb could feel it. Both were staring at each other. And suddenly I woke up, my phone was vibrating... I had setup an alarm... long time back... and it had to vibrate today... when I had an exam and I had had just 4 hours of sleep. :-w

Tried to go back to sleep, but couldn't. Slowly everyone woke up. Finally, we were at New delhi railway station. We went, as usual, to Rail Yatri Niwaas :D. Got a room there. Both of us got ready and got a bit of sleep. And then we were off to the center. It took 45 minutes to reach there.
