Next day on 6th....we...the first 24 people were having their GTO tasks....i.e. a set of physical tasks which comprise of group as well as individual tests....all tasks requires mind power..not the muscle power......as told by our GTO.......
Our GTO was a pilot.....what a gem of a person he was yaar....what a personality.......he made all of us comfortable about all the processes....all the rules....all the various guidelines....
Our first task was a set of three obstacle areas......our group was divided into 8 members ....
The three tasks .....we claimed to complete in 30 minutes.....we were given a plank...a balli....a rope.....a bucket load.......and we were require to cross the line by not touching the ground....the field consisted of some various benches...poles.....small supports....the colour codes were given...where to touch and where not to.......
after the 8 group task....we were made into group of 4-4....and were given a touch task to show all the capabilities we have......
after this we had our individual obstacles...in which 10 obstacles were to be completed in 3 minutes.....the obstacles have some particular points assigned to them and we have to earn 55 points......their is no any particular sequence of obstacle...we can choose where we want to start from.....
Huuuufffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.............................................a tiring day.............
After our lunch.....we were allowed to go out in the city........
We went to the Clock Tower in Dehradun........its known as the "Ghantaghar"......by the locals....we searched and found very very very.......**** *i*l* in and around the places .....no body had seen a **** in last 2-3 days......all gone mad after we saw the beauty of Dehradun.......
Me with 3 other very cool friends.......went to Barista....we were sooooo amazed to see the quality of crowd and decided that ....whenever we'll have time in these 5-6 days...we will definitely come back..........
Next day was my Interview.........was a bit nervous before but the Interviewing officer made me comfortable......he opened all the pages of my life with ease.....and I had to answer....I had already decided...no bluffs....no lies........
yaaar he asked me about Everything........really Everything..........and i mean it.......
I will dedicate a post only about my interview afterwards..........
Interview lasted for about 40-45 minutes.........
Again we were headed to Barista.......this time we were 9 in count........after this we went to the" Buddha Temple"....which is a pure Tibetan temple.......after coming in the confines of the temple...we thought we are not in India....all looked Chinese.......small eyes....small nose.......dam cute faces.......but we were not able to identify whether they are Chinese...Tibetian....Korean...or others......One thing about which I am sure is........and I know everyone will agree with me is that.....All were Humans.......all helping each other.....all were concentrating to the religious Tibetan chants.....all were offering prayers......all were greeting each other.....all were like a one family.......and offering our gratitude towards lord Buddha......
Next day was a day off and we 13 people were planning to go to Massori.......which unfortunately due to timing constraints didn't happened......
The next day we went to Sahastradhaara........a place were a type of medicated water flows from the mountains and because of it ...we are always immune to the skin diseases and if we drink ....we are immune to the stomach related problems........
I only washed my face......bahot thanda tha yaaaar..........bahot zyada..........
If someone wants to wash his or her face...contact me....I got a small can filled with the Sahastradhaara water........ :)
After this we went to the Buddha Temple again for some shopping and also to visit the temples we we left in out previous visit....
The next day was the conference..........Its a process when the whole board can see you and judge..........It is again a part of the psychological play.......yes....we are all the time tested.....the gates can confuse you.........which one to push you ...which one to pull.......but I personally think....I did all things properly.......completed all the tests....enjoyed them......had a good time.......got some very good friends......learned new things.......enjoyed the weather.......
In the final result only 8 people made it to the medicals....and unfortunately......or anything else.......I was not in the final 8..............
.....................................................................................................................
A silence broke and someone said to me....." koi gall nahi yaar.....phir se aa jaenge.....apna kaam hai 100% dena...humne diya.......iss baar nahi toh koi baat nahi......chal abb saamaan lene.....ek hi bus main jaaenge enjoy karte hue......"
and yes...he was right.......
many people were having there repeat attempts .....someone had this as their 3rd.......8th.....2nd.....SSB......they were also not the final 8.........but what they want...only they knows...........
Back to normal now......
We had our lunch and went towards the bus station.....the ISBT........catched a bus for Delhi.....and the next day I was roaming around the lanes of Delhi....the subways....the Metro......the S.N. Market....burger at the Lodhi Colony......Carrot Juice at the I.N.A Market.........enjoyed everything.......
on 11th....I was back in Indore......during the journey I met with very interesting people.......
