'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.
To be Continued.................

Blame it on the zodiac..

A perfect libran uses his mind like a balance to judge his every action. He indulges in this closed loop process that has a feedback input from the error correction of previous decisions. This process continues till it faces the constraint of a deadline or just plainly the lack of energy. The mood has an effect on the polarity of the feedback . Makes me even extrapolate that probably fuzzy logic has is the contraption of a libran, how could he possibly manage with only binary states. Are the meta-stable states in Laser science's depiction of his mental state?
Appraisal is the first words in his dictionary and the last word is action, but the word pops out when the constraints have been breached.

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 these long stretched hours...
We are not that important, we all can relax cant we?... Any Suggestions?
