Destiny and Those 54 'Elites' : Part 1

DATE:- 26/11/07

Destiny scribbled an important page in few people's lives that fateful night at NH-65, Mogra. Smiles were broken on few faces and some tears were shed too. I'm not going into the details of the proceedings of the whole day, but this is what happened at the end of the day.

• Gaurav broke down even as his group stood silently by him. There were tears in the eyes of girls of the group too, as he would be the only one missing train to Hyderabad.
  

• Rohit had his moments of nervousness when his name was mispronounced, but then he never anticipated this moment to come.

• Bobby was one of the happiest of the lot. After all, he was third time lucky. He kept on hugging people.

• Fortunes didn't favor Nitin though, as he completed his hat-trick of failures. He wasn't sad but acrimonious.

• Mahaveer was perhaps the most disappointed. He had very thin thread of hope after his miserable interview, but he was destined to be on the other side of the line.

• Devendra and Hemant were the most composed. They knew they would get it. Official announcement was a mere conformation.

• JP didn't bother much, though he had failed again. He was smiling, congratulating others.

Soon all successful people were brought together as the photographer adjusted his camera to capture the expressions of bliss on their faces permanently on a photo film. These 27 persons had become proud members of a family which already boasted of 27 of their other peers.

Next morning that snap, thanks to the supplements of the newspapers, had reached hundreds of home and phones began to ring unplugged. Soon a community was to be created on orkut with an aim of connecting them together, the 54 proud members of an 'Elite' family.
