Almost Two Years Ago………. (19th July’2011)………. (Mumbai)
(08:15 AM, Boriwali Station) I was waiting for the Local Train of 08:28 AM …..ohhh…sorry actually today I was standing at the platform but I was not waiting for train, I was waiting for my CA Final result…..
Sun was shining bright as it always does at this time of the year……Local trains were running as per their routine….people were in rush to reach their office on time….It was a normal morning for every one apart from me. I was also trying to look normal but anyone could have read tension/excitement of my face…..only I knew how fast my heart was beating that morning…… “dhak” “dhak” “dhak” “dhak”….I guess it must be striking at the run rate of 200 per minute or may be faster.
I was constantly refreshing the Institute’s result website (caresults.nic.in) on my phone. Every time I was refreshing the page it was taking 5-6 seconds and during these 5-6 seconds I could feel that my heart had stopped beating.
08:28 AM, Local train arrived exactly on time; everyone was rushing on the train so that they could get a seat. Unlike other days, today I was not in a hurry, may be I was the last one to board the train.
Train started moving, and the sound of moving train was adding more thrill to my excitement/nervousness. (09:04 AM) Train was about to reach Andheri Station and for last 10min I had stopped refreshing the website…………..then suddenly I heard one of my co-passenger (around 45-50 years of age) was congratulating his son for passing CPT Exam…….NOW…..I knew that results of CA final is also out because both CPT and CA Final Results are declared at the same time of Institute’s website.
Train stopped at Andheri Station, people were trying to enter in the train and I was trying to enter in the website, it was taking longer time to open the page then it normally takes……I entered my roll no…….and then……………………………………..
………………………………….
I closed my eyes for last prayer…….. I felt my inner soul had touched the feet of my parents who were more than 1400 Kms away from me….
Result page was open but due to small screen size of my Nokia C3, I could see only Subject names…..and the marks of individual subjects were on the right-hand side of the screen which I was not able to see…….Instead of scrolling toward right-hand side…..I scrolled screen toward bottom of the page……….and I saw………………………………

Can’t explain…………………but I was ………………………..my eyes were full of tears…………………first time I realised ki khushi k aansu kya hote h..
I called my DAD……I don’t know why but I was shivering……………………finding it difficult to speak….. “papa mein pass ho gaya” these were the only words which came out of my mouth………and he was like……….. “Sachiiiii”……………………..
“ha ha mein pass ho gaya” this time with more joy in my voice……………….and then…………….
Can’t explain the situation…………,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,…………………………………………………………………………… I think this is among one of the best gift a child could give to their parents…….
