DAAD: You are selected

Yes, with a single e-mail, I was informed that my application for the prestigious DAAD WISE Scholarship was approved. I can still remember all that running around, particularly in the Dean Academics' office, that I had to do to get here. But the fruits of labour are sweet indeed!

Although most people ask me why I'm surprised at the selection, given my CGPA, I genuinely did not have too many hopes. Somehow, I tend to miss the best things in life - Schlum, OPJEMS,YES... I was actually desperate to talk to someone in Hyderabad Metro Rail for a summer internship! Well, that will not be necessary anymore, thanks to DAAD.

Now, there's a lot to do. We need to send a confirmation letter by Jan. 25 and then run around for accommodation and visa and what not. Good things don't come easy in life. But it is definitely worth it.

My University is TU Munich. If there's anybody else going there, do drop a message here.
