We live in anticipation of something to happen. The actual something, when and if it happens, does not actually give the pleasure the process of waiting and anticipating gives. I have almost spent one long year planning and waiting for the admission offer from ISB. Now that ISB admit is a fait accompli, it no longer gives the thrill the waiting used to give. Today, i paid INR 1 lac to the school to reserve a place in the class of 2006. Now, i wait for the date of joining. when the date of joining happens would i be satisfied. i guess not. i will then actually look forward to the classes, then to the learning, then to the placements, et al.

Whoever said “Anticipation is half fun”. Where is the other half?
