@Ketan.. No Ketan, I am not preparing for civil services now.. bt yeah, i hav joined a J-school :)

@Nidhi.. I blive i'v made it look too mundane.. evn i roamed around and played during tht time..the room symbolises not js tht physical boundary bt also the mental boundary :)
Keep visiting..

thnx 4 appreciating the post :)

@Enchanta.. u r only scnd prsn who hs mentiond the detailed imagery.. i m happy i was succesful in my attempt at descriptive writing :D
In long run, it is js about shifting frm one phase of life to anothr.. frankly, cn v evr get free??

@Animesh.. welcome to this blog buddy.. i m sure, v all have been thru sch phases in life.. thnx 4 empathising.. keep reflecting :)

@Vikram.. u r spot on dude.. evry xpirience in life shud add 2 ur confidence and not dent it.. failure is needed in life 2 learn d real meaning of life :)

@D2.. thnx buddy.. gud 2 b back :)
maybe evn i was not tht hard on myslf as i made it look or i wud have given the remaining couple of attempts too :p
thnx 4 noticing the detailing.. this in fact was my attempt at descriptive writing :)

@Ashish.. thnx a lot.. keep reflecting :)

@BS.. Aap aaye humare blog par, khuda ki kudrat hai.. kabhi hum aapke comment ko, to kabhi aapki ganj ko dekhte hain.

Shayad aap sahi keh rahe ho ya shayad humne sahi kiya ho.. kya pata, kya hota.. zindagi to chalne ka naam hai, aur theek hi chal rahi hai :)

@CRD.. i js didnt gt the doze bt i blive i actually got spondilitis or sum lesser cousin of it :p
Keep reflecting :)

@The Fool.. Good 2 c u back on my blog.. well, i blive its evryones tale bt preparation for civil services is bit more unnerving thn IIT because as age catches up, many othr tensions strt creeping in.. like ur frnd who strts working and having dinners at costly restaurants and u hv 2 chk ur pockets while accompanying him :)

@Aludram.. very nice comment..short,sweet and crisp... :p
welcum 2 my blog and keep reflecting :)

@Sadiya.. Naah, its alright.. importnt thing 4 me was to atleast giv an attempt.. unlike many othrs who js steer clear bcoz of the fear of failure.. i am happy tht i m not tht kind of failure who fail without trying :)
thnx for 'empathising'.. thts what my blog is all about :p

2011-08-21T22:26:47.207+05:30

@Savitaji.. yup, as they say, what happens, happens 4 good :)

@Saravana.. But sometimes the will succumbs and beyond tht evry attempt trns futile.. its gud 2 step back at the right time :)

@Binzy.. Well, i cant say tht those two years got wasted.. tht journey definitely taught me a lot.. thnx 4 appreciating the post :)

@Pri.. True, in my case fruit of success just eluded me.. nevertheless, freedom was sweet in the end :)

2011-08-21T10:45:47.823+05:30

No doubts many of us have been through this phase, I can recall the time when I was preparing for IIT-JEE when I thought working in solitude would enhance my focus and there would be less divergence. Hehe, glad that you are free now.

2011-08-18T23:41:34.777+05:30

Now that I would call the true taste of freedom!
That freedom that you yourself let into yourself, that freedom when there is no bondage of responsibility and duty.

I loved the detailed imagery.

Kya baat hai Marshallji !

Aapne Bhartiya Prashasnik Seva ka imtehaan diya hai?
Yeh to bahut achchi baat hai, par afsos bas itna hai ki aapne azaadi kuch jaldi maang li nahin to aap zaroor utteern hotey.

Aap itne samay ke baad fir se likh rahein hain, padh kar achcha laga.
Asha hai ke yeh guftagu aur chalegi,jab aap hamare jaise tuchch praneeyon ke liye kuch samay nikaal payenge.

Abhi ke liye ijaazat deejiye
Seva mein,
Aapke aabhaari

Nice to have you back, Marshall. I could totally relate to this from my own IIT-JEE preparation days. Of course, I was never as hard on myself as you seemed to be.
But yeah, life in a room can be quite terrible. Excellent read. Loved the detail that you put in so meticulously.

2011-08-16T00:53:29.596+05:30

I can totally relate to this. From my own experience I can tell that on the one hand letting the ambition go can be a liberating experience, but on the other, it can really dent your confidence.
But I guess that's where the attitude and "ability to bounce back" matters.

A very good read !!!

aww. i feel really bad dat u had to let go of ur ambition :(
in fact i wrote d entrance exm too bt dat was jus cos my frn pushed me into it. n it really aint a cakewalk dats fr sure!
nw i find it ironic dat sumthin i took so lightly cud mean so much to sum1 els.

ur version of free was more d compromise, n less d feel gud kind. or maybe its jus me. uhh nt sure! :-)

Welcome back to Blog-a-ton, Marshall. Feels funny welcoming you to your own site. Nice post. Could relate closely with it. My IIT JEE preparation times were very much like your civil services preparations. Except that no cimputers those days. Otherwise it was all the same.

Hey...you study lying on the bed? Me too :P And yeah...not just my dad, but my mom too rebuked me for the heavenly posture. I got some doze about spondilitis or something like that.

All the best for the contest. :)

2011-08-15T06:51:09.048+05:30

To me, chasing an ambition sets you free. The excitement, novelty and challenges it poses on its journey is exhilirating. It allows to live passionately in every moment of chasing those ambition. It doesn't matter whether one achieve or not, it's the journey which sets you free. Vipul, I'm sure you must have felt free in your spirits in those two years even though you were trapped in your deoxygenated dark room. I like your description of room and the simile you have used "moth trapped in the cobwebs". Excellent post !!

2011-08-15T00:48:44.770+05:30

Let to your ambitions? It is a good decision because at the end of the day we need a job but at the same time try as many times as possible to achieve your ambition.. Good luck for Blog-a-Ton. Free... are we?
