hiaaaa...........well long time since i came to goiit.......gud to b back.......
well getting back to point........
last year around the same time as ur now in......
i was in a similar situation.......though i wud say the expectations were not from ma teachers instead they were from frnds........
i had never prepared for boards.......still they wud come to me nd say
"bhai kvs tu tho board phod dega yaar...........97%(imagine 97.....i dont know how the hell in the name of heaven they came up with such huge numbers)se kam tho maarni nahi hai tujhe..........blah blah"
all i wud like to say is give a damn sh** to these expectations.........u dont live for others(i hope u dont!!!!!).........u live for urself.........and if ur aim is to crack jee.........concentrate on that without wasting ur time thinking about wat the world will think if you dont top boards nd stuff..........
and once u clear jee.........no one gives a second thought to ur board percentage......NO ONE.....board marks are just like a lipstick on a gals lips........if u got them its fine.........if u dont.....better still......
nd mind u..........if u hav put in hard work........none other than god himself(in the name of destiny)can stop u from getting into iit..........he didnt stop me..........and im sure he will not stop u......
and on the other side..........u will surely do well in borads.......rest assured.........i got some 94% in boards(im not proud of it).....im just mentioning this because its bhery easy to score in boards.......so common "aap tho mujse jaada hi laa doge"..........
so just dont traumatise ur mind with all this "high expectations" stuff..........
keep ur cool......
enjoy ur exam.........
ya do enjoy ur exams..........
hav fun in the boards(i started orkutting on ma board days........and before ma boards completed i had some 1000 scraps)
and ya.......go nd crack jee..........
ur an iitian.......nd no one dare stop u from being one..........
besties and c ya soon in iit.........
luv
kvs@iitg
ps.......sorry for the long reply..........hope after reading this boring reply.......u wont bore urself with such pessimistic thoughts..........
