@CROSSROADS

15th January, at twenty twenty three,
X on his bed, his future shrouded in mystery

Pre-final year,pre-final year
How I wish you never appear!

Thinking about job,CAT,GRE (read greeee)
While his peers are on a movie watching spree

His friends shouted veni,vidi,vici
He could only think of veni,vidi,vetti

Software said one; finance, flaunted the other
8 am class he went,lab report said the professor

A CAT crossed his path, the mind struck a chord
Spake one :MBA without work ex? It does sound odd

Keep your options open, said mom
Write GRE, as goes the norm

5 years for Ph.d!Its too long a time
CAT is dicey and unreliable, said T.I.M.E

Its eleven now,time for some coffee
X jumps out,decides to be tension free

Confusion and dilemma still reign supreme
The conclusion will come soon, I scream!

P.S: Hazaar thanks to Gads, Naren and Sandy for proof reading and helping me out with the title.

veni a vini a? :P

Its better not to worry too much and just put in what effort you can for GRE and CAT. And finally whatever happens, will happen for good only.

Worked well in my case.
