So it all comes down to this. All the toil; the research done to strengthen my application; the hours spent on GRE preparation; the whole drama of that unfolded before my TOEFL exam; spending hours in preparing applications and refining personal statements. The outcome of all this would be decided over a 5 minute interview. And all this would account to more or less nothing if I am not able to be convincing in the space of those 5 minutes. I wonder how I feel, or rather should be feeling about the whole scenario. Maybe I should prepare; form countless arguments and counter arguments in my head that may cover any given scenario. But maybe that would be wrong. I do not know where it would get me, but I hope to be honest above all else. I have done all the preparation I need. I have worked a whole year in the preparation for this. And now, it’s only the final sprint……which in my opinion should be instinctive. I leave it to God’s designs….. 

The air has started getting cooler now. It has become much more forgiving in its nature; much more open. You can almost feel the anticipation of winter. Sort of like a slight calmness in the general outlook of things; a sort of sluggishness which can only be associated with extreme summer or the eve of winter. As for me; I cant wait to live again in the silent nights, strolling and dreaming while being curiously aware of every sound within a block’s distance.
