A quatrain that...

A quatrain that simply emerged in my mind out of nowhere. It portrays the thoughts that are etched deep within my mind as I near the end of college life and embark on my journey of professional life.

Leagues to fly before I sleep
--in peace, scores of promises to keep
--I have; I long my neck and look afar,
I m paused,nay, poised. I am my brother
learning the sky, before flying high...

Truth locked up, but for how long


2 more days and I'll be there. Taking the famous exam that millions of students have registered for. Taking the exam that a few millions have already given up hopes for. Taking the exam that only a few thousands will crack. And taking the exam, that only a few hundred students will get the fruit of.
So am I really interested in that exam, or do I belong to the multitude that has laid its weapons down. To be honest I am not serious about CAT this year. Although I prepared for more than an year attending almost every class I could. But here I am, right at the kick off moment and SHAZAM!!!! I decide not to play. I decide, to join Bajaj and not to involve in this MBA stuff for an year or so.
The dictionary defines this attitude of mine as that of a defeatist. My neighbor thinks I am a quitter, a few of my friends think I am a quitter and God knows who else does so. And rest of them... They blame Bajaj for this. I try to wade off this discussion by crafting some lame theory or some lame logic, those which hardly sound sane. But the fact is that the truth shall remain deep within myself, deep within my heart.
Finally I have the truth locked up, but for how long?
