met a guy at my iim rohtak interview today

I was at my Rohtak interview in Bangalore today, assigned to Panel 11, just waiting for my turn and trying to stay calm. The whole place felt tense, and I was just another candidate sitting there, hoping things would go well.

I was really stressed, and I know it showed on my face. I kept tapping my foot on the floor and flipping my hair back without even realizing it. I wasn’t the prettiest girl in the room, but I was just being myself in that moment. At one point, I felt like someone was looking at me. When I glanced up, I saw a guy who looked just as nervous. He seemed familiar somehow, even though I know we have never met.

We never spoke, and he probably thinks I never noticed him. But in that crowded room, it felt like we were both silently trying to survive the same situation. If he ever remembers me, I hope he takes it as something simple and kind. I hope he gets his admission. And if not, maybe we will cross paths again in another life.
