The SPELL That WORKED

          I was just Excited to reach there a bit before, just to avoid any delay as the day was much awaiting one for my life. Looking at the crowd there I was happy that I got the address right. There is enough time left now for me to throw something in my stomach so I went for it. Of course I ate a bit less than usual just to avoid any drowsiness any further and was back to the place. It was time then to enter the arena and I saw people walking in and I followed them now its time for me to check the room I was allotted. I was just shocked my number was not in the list. Ran towards the management asking them "Where the hell is my no in the list????" the only answer I could get from them is "The exam center for the Coal India Examination is changed to Yerragadda.... better go fast...." the immediate question was "Y ????" The immediate answer was the state had given the same center for the Group II examination to the same center and there is no place for accommodating both.

        It was 9:35 then just 5 min passing the reporting time and the point now is where on earth is Yerragadda and adding an insult to an injury its not less than 45 min by bus. I was just pitying at my luck... what else do I better deserve... temme????? Lucky chap I am... as the exam starts at 10:00 and the maximum delay allowed is 15 min.

             I called my brother some 10times hoping he drops me a little earlier than bus by bike and Lucky me he picked it at my 10 try and came to my place at 9:45. I explained the situation and we were on the start and all I was counting were the number of minutes left. As explained earlier how lucky I often am, he started and took strait into the petrol bunk. How cool it was to loose 5 more min there, I guess you can understand better than my words would explain. Now all we were doing is racing to the destination and you well knew races are not entertained on Indian Roads the police stopped us looking at our speed. Now I told him the cause in 15 seconds and just found my voice was shivering. All I could notice the moment I got on the bike was my eyes had been wet. Its now 10:05 and it takes at least 15 min more.

           Now all I was chanting was "ALL IZ WELL". It was 10:20 when I reached the examination center and I was running and my heart was pounding. It took 5 more minutes to know the exam hall  thanks to the invigilator he finally gave me the OMR sheet and the question paper at 10:25 when at just a mare glance explained me many of the other contenders are 30 bits of time ahead of me. Yet mere allowing me was a happy thing to me since I had been waiting for the day since the time of notification. The way I started was relaxing for 5 more min thanking the universe for giving me "The SPELL That WORKED".
