Students are always eager to get a glimpse of their exam results. After all it is a testimony to one's commitment to academics. Some of my friends and I had done enough digging on the web to find out when our results will be published. Finally on 25 th of January we spotted on a website that our results will be out by the next day. As soon as we saw this announcement, we triggered a series of sms forwarding to notify our counterparts about the result declaration. This was enough to set off a cold fury amongst our college mates. Most of us spent an insomniac night owing to this announcement. Some of my friends also had nightmares over the examination results turning out negative. It was difficult for one to concentrate. Everyone felt restless. Finally the next evening, phone calls started pouring in, all inquiring the websites on which the results could be looked up. The air was chaotic. Everyone rushed to personal computers and net cafes to look out for the results. Alas! All of us were prompted that the server is down owing to the number of parallel views its serving. We sat glued to the monitor. Tapped the refresh key in succession to get a glimpse of the result. Almost an hour passed out, still we couldn't get the web page loaded. At last the site traffic was regulated and the web pages started appearing. An air of relief was sensed. Soon we typed in our registration numbers to check out our results. The browser displayed that the result page was loading. This was the most terrifying moment. We chanted the names of all known gods. Promised many offerings to god,in return of a positive result. Finally when the result page was loaded, I just sighed. I felt on top of the world to have cleared all the papers. All my friends were also in high spirits to see themselves with top scores. We then thanked god for not letting down our hopes and promised to work harder the next time. We found ourselves on the safer side after jumping down the wall of tension.
