POST STEP 3

Blogging is really addicting, today morning i got up at 7 am and started to blog. As one of my friends put it that life will feel kinda empty post step 3, i started to get that feeling & it sucks, So i have decided to utilize my free time to BLOG. :-) .

USMLE STEP 3 is done, finally.............I really dunno how the exams(2 days; 8 hours at a stretch- phew, happy that its over) went, will have to wait for the results to see if i did ok (<80),good(>80) or very good (>90). I personally feel my scores will be good, but i would be more than happy to settle for very good scores[:P]. I guess praying to God might do the trick for very good scores. Other's please pray for me as well [:)]. I know, I am being selfish, but itna toh chalta hain na..... [:P]

Well Interviews(prime reason why i am in USA) is also the thing I am looking forward to now. As of now i have 4 in my kitty.

Reading & Surfing the net for information on the programs and interview skills is my latest past time. Come Monday and I will be busy with observership at a private Cardiologist. I am looking forward to that as well. Its better to be pre-occupied with work and learn something new and exciting than idle away the time staring at MY ERAS Inbox for Interview calls.

Anyways its the weekend 2day, and I am excited to go for DANDIYA, first time in USA. Also its been more than 8 yrs since I played Dandiya. My Colony in Mumbai Central used to organize it in the 90's with gr8 pomp and enthusiasm.

Adios,
Keep Smiling Always,

STEP 3 - Countdown 4 days left

I always motivate & inspire myself before the exams. This is the first time i am using my blog to do so. I am having mixed feelings for the exam........I am excited (the last hurdle towards my dream), scared(its tough), anxious(wanna do my best- though the scores don't matter), feeling lonely(dunno y- though i have the support of my brothers), missing my dad's constant comment - Chaduko (Study in telugu) Xxxxx (my pet name- don't wanna reveal it), missing mom's pampering of getting everything i need to me before i even need it.
The countdown has begun & i am only 4 days away from my Step 3. My heart, mind & hands are still constantly on the look out for that elusive 1st Interview Call of the Match Season. Thats the reason I am online most of the times. But i am thankful to my friends for having the faith in me, counselling me SOS & motivating me to do my best for step 3. 
I have started listening to a lot of songs lately......which I always do when i am stressed out & tensed. My mom used to love them & here my lovely bhabhi is giving me company. Even now as i am writing this blog, my fav songs are giving me company in the background.
I guess its time to get back to my studies. 
Will write more after my step 3. 

Take care,
Keep smiling always,

I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door - or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present. 

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
