'CAT' Chronicles..

Blogging has become a part of daily work these days, i have started reading lot of blogs and I guess this is a sign of addiction to the internet. As with all addiction its difficult to get over them. I am almost online for most of the time I am awake, I have not seen more of monitor even when I was a software engineer. As most software guys do I always focussed when the next break is going to be. Now i keep watching blog unmindful of the time or even the break. I guess that I was busy trying to write CAT and do my MBA that the work was more of a routine than an enjoyment.

When we look back at the events it seems that they all happen with a sequence, events one after the other unfold like the chips of a prestacked domino. With the lots of demand for H1B visas these days,the US government was forced to go for a lottery procedure for the selection of the visa. Most will wonder how this one ruling was bound to change my life, it had a big effect on my near future. What this rule effectively meant is that when ur H1B visa is filled it has to go thru a lottery which eventually decides whether you will be given a call for the Visa interview or not.

Then came the eventful day in May 2007, my company notified me that my Visa was not selected in the lottery. I was informally told that i will be sent to the USA once i get my Visa stamped, this had made my shelf my all plans for CAT. I was of the thought that I will goto USA incidentally make green money and try for my higher studies from there, I even had a valid GRE score. Now that this plan had collapsed, CAT was the only option at hand. People advised me to write GMAT and they warned me against having all my eggs in a single basket.

But I thought of trying my luck at CAT. This is one of the most hyped exams in the world I guess. Having given my CAT previous year, I was of the opinion if it was your day then cracking CAT would be possible. Decided to join a test series. The preparation started from june to the day of the test. I would say that I had to work every day for a minimum of hour to three hours. After a long days work it was difficult at first then it became a routine. Sometimes I attempted to read during the travel. I read newspapers and editorial during travel at first as it didnot make very obvious that I was preparing for CAT. Then gradually they were replaced by CAT books as the deadline for the Dday started nearing.

Abt few new songs...

I got a mail prompting to listen to new ARR song . It said ,
Movie is Jaane tu ya jaane na. It’s a very nice song :).
The song was kabhi kabhi aditi zindagi.. Listened to the song almost 15 times. Just the feel of the song is very refreshing, there are lot of ARR touches in it. I somehow feel the song is similar to the Alaipayuthe\Saathiyaa song. The song is too good to dislike. Verdict is 4.5+ on 5.

Now coming to story of another song... It was on some FM channel, first sound felt like a voice from well, then somehow I said to my sister that its some guy makin fun of Himesh Reshamiya .. as things that turned out to be, it was a song from Kamal ji's Dasavatharam. The music dir is no one else but Himesh. I guess he thinks people down south have not heard his Ooo Surrooor type songs.. Definitely the song was disappointing.. Guess Himesh is spent up with his tunes, may be he can learn from our thenisai thendral.

Future of Oil!

We all know a barrel of oil is lets say 100$, which means crude oil in the global market is available at 100$. So which is effectively 117 litres at 100$, so one litre is less than a $. And u got to purify it etc. So its difficult to provide one litre of petrol for 50 Rs, pls note crude oil is not petrol it has to be treated etc. but i guess to add on to this how can we reduce the price of petrol, this has to happen only if there is an indegenious production of oil. So oil is extracted within a country the global oil prices will not have much of a hitch.
So the reason Oil is differenetly priced in different countries is becos of the following factors
1. Indegenious production, which depends on oil availability.
2. Subsidy and taxes by government.
3. Arrangement with the global oil producing countries where u can get it cheap from them, u need not buy oil from intl market.OPEC, Oil and Petroleum exporting corporation is a set of countries which are the major oil exporting countries these determine the oil price because of demand and supply
Demand And Supply:
What Demand, as the word itself clearly states its the need for a product and supply is the availability. If the need is more and the supply is less the oil prices shoot up. Similarly u can logically think on the other permutations and combinations here. Few questions which I have got here.
1, Why during war the oil prices shoot up?
I guess this is because the supply of oil decreases and so when the supply decreases and demand is constant the prices go up, wont they?
2. Is there any possibilty for the oil prices to come down?
Logically the answer is NO. but Outright this cant be said.What are the ways it can reduce, lets come back to demand and supply
a. Demand needs to reduce.. But how?
We have to look for alternate and renewable resources.
b. Supply needs to increase... Its simple here, either we need to produce more oil and more sources of oil needs to be found.
Unga veetu well la oil kedacha eppadiirukkum, padayappa maari overnight panakaran thaaan. Haha.But with the demand for oil goin up and supply comin down the prices are bound to shoot up.
3.So Whats the opportunities and threats here?
This is a pivotal moment for a country like India to become a global giant. We need to pioneer the new sources of energy. Being a tropical country we have sunshine all through the year and we are huge land mass as well. This is a big advantage we have not leveraged and whats the next thing.. even for a country like china though the land mass is huge they have less solar energy becos of winter and rains.
Threats acute energy shortage may result in wars, arent we wittnessing wars which are fought for oil in other names. In future we may see wars in name of Oil .Oil War I , Oil War II, III etc.

Blame it on the zodiac..

A perfect libran uses a balance to judge every action of his. He indulges in this closed loop process. So why am i calling this a closed loop, haha no prizes, definitely due to the feedback of the previous decisions effect on the next one . This process continues untill either the deadline has been breached or else u get tired, the mood decides polarity of the feedback . I guess the fuzzy logic has been found by a libran, how can he manage with only binary states. The Libran should have played a part in finding the LASER, the meta stable states are a depiction of his mental state.
Appraisal is always one of the first words in his dictionary. The last word should be action.
O'libran, Why are u so mental in nature, use ur heart!
Can the heart think, it for the brain to weigh the options, says the libran...
Isnt he rite??

One month's break. Thoughts on it...

1. Sleep is the first thing that can come topmost on ones mind. Its a good thing to sleep a lot for one month. Combined with IPL, sleep can help u to fill 24 hours
2. Why not learn a new language. For all those Hindi ignorant ppl nice time to learn the national language.
3. Reduce some extra flabs. You gotto ask me abt this.Haha
4. If above doesn interest u then, Movie a day Keeps your boredom away.
5. Finally Hindu in the morning, Browsing in the day and Some walk in the evening pushes off long stretched hours...
We are not that important, we all can relax cant we?... Any Suggestions?

The ides of MArch...

In the ides of March:

There are certain happenings in our life that happen and it leaves an imprint so much
that we when reminded of it, feel a wave of happiness. Hey readers, dont runaway this
is not any sentimental stuff, but a light humor of sorts(if one).

Mid march, what else but exams where looming large and the sun was sriking heavily with its
meteorical eyes, the humidity for its sake was doing its job perfectly. Madras, march , exams what
a good combination should have been a perfect time to sleep. But not so , the boy had been presented
a cap by his father and he wanted to have a use, so he had ordered his battalion to be ready
for the mission(game of cricket @ 3). Seems a very normal day in the offing but is it, lets see.
The history had always wondered would it remain the same one, so is it to be rewritten or altered.
The pitch was the newly perfectly laid raid new road as the elections of 96 were just over.
The curator(the boy himself) was happy of it. They always played opposite to old vacant house, whatelse but
to escape from the scolding of the houseowners. As far as all had known the house was vacant for
the last 6 months. The members arrived braving the heat and their parents.

The stumps
drawn on the wall and toss been won
the jubilient boy allowed himself to bat. It was a like a platter for him to bat as the
worst bowler bowled the ball and the basman gave a wild swing at the first ball and it
landed where else but the house in front of him. He jumped the small wall that beleaguered the house
and resumed his search for the ball. As he lost the patience he ordered for reinforcemnet
to aid him in his search. As the friend was about to jump for the search, there was a some hustle
and some faint noise , which took itself a form of a canine. The whit pomeranian(dog), now started its
its loud bark was for sure after the boy. The fluids of his nose released, hanging the boy
started yelling " help" "help". Three rounds were complete and finally when the
canine was about to achieve its objective, the dog's owner rescued the boy(the dog).
Then he knew that the house had been occupied and they had ceaser the dog.The boy was none
other than me. Ceaser could ve easily rewritten the history book, by taking revenge for
the centuries of pent up anger. I felt like yelling at caeser " I am not brutus, et tu ceaser"

dESIRE

"I motor the very yearn for excistence"
Started quoth the blasphemous force,
"Waves and me are of a kind mirage
We always start again as we end"
"The mammoth hunger i leave behind
never agrees to cease or satiate"
"The raging fire which I am
Always have an appetaite for more"
"I am desire the route cause for evils"
The revire which ended jolted my senses
The vision though advised me against,
I cant stop to desire thee....
