When am I ever gonna get a break..?

"Knock knock!! buzz, buzz!! wake up, man!! do something..!!!" - sounds funny? re-iterating?

I know, cos this is precisely what I have been experiencing since the past few days..

Got a hint of what I have been going through yet..?? i bet, you have..!!!

God!! It's just so tough maintaining your equilibrium in one side of the brain while preparing for CAT in the other. Yes, yes, you need to program your brain much more than you need to program your abilities. That is by far the the biggest truth that I have encountered since I started preparing for CAT. CAT is not about your abilities, but about the way you manoeuver the going.

Ahh.. wait, wait.. isnt it all just a capitulation of what people are taught in the MBA?

To complement it even more, here goes a series of fundas -

It is about the very day. Even if you have been faring well in the mocks, it gives you no assurance that you are going to do the same in the main test. You might just be shocked as to what you score in it. It might be very BAD and not at all upto your expectations and it may even be the best that you have ever scored. CAT is just so unpredictable that it badly enjoys taking its toll on everyone who has dared to as much as touch it.

When I used to get all this shit from people who were then preparing for CAT, I used to feel a little incredulous about it. How can a test scare the shit out of people, when all you got to do is to score just the 30% of the paper? That sounds un-believable, right? I know, but then that is what it is.

Some bloody 30-40% can decide the course of your life..!!! And then, even if you do score the most craved for 30-40%, and you are on cloud 9 , feeling like you got what you wished for, you will suddenly find the rest of the things coming in, crashing down all your hopes in a matter of seconds.. and then, you suddenly become aquainted to the fact that you still dont have a probability-1 of getting into an IIM. DAMN IT.. bloody

There is always something which comes in the way of your taking a flight to the IIMs.

WORK EX, WORK EX, WORK EX, WORK EX...!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, that is something which stands in the first place of the incessant queue of conditions that you may have to encounter just to be able to cross that barrier, the barrier which will walk you down the aisle ( sound like a marriage? :P.. i know!! but are not you actually getting married to an IIM.. :P :P ) ) to the prestigious gates of the IIMs.

And, also, this is one of the additional things that have been hovering over my mind, lurking, lying in ambush, ready to take an unexpected blow whenever they feel they can perplex me to the fullest.

You try to do the best, be calm, be patient, be all those things that you just can't be and then... BOOM!!! back to square one..!!!! You are back to where you were when you started that day. No fayda at all as to what you had been preaching yourself the whole day about..!!

And even then, the rigmarole never seems to strike the ending. Why would it, bhai? After all, it is a rigmarole, and it's your own foolishness to expect too much out of it, right?

RIGHT RIGHT.. heard dat, listened to that, tried to implement that, but to no avail. It does no good, so have stopped doing anything related to that..!!!

Just-take-it-as-it-comes should be my funda of the day, but then, i devise an absolutely new funda everyday.

So much of my frustration being poured down the pages of my bechara, be-sahara blog page.

uski to koi galti bhi nahi hai...!!!

Hehe.. I think I should call it a day by ending such an encouraging blog!!!

Have fun reading it....

Let the rain come down and wash my feet...

Rains... finally!!!!

Probably, the best of the kinds of favours god bestows on us and that too in prolificacy, but only if he happens to have a good mood. :P :P

Seems he was too pre-occupied to have one this year. Our good, old and beloved monsoon was pushed too far into the future. :( :(

With only a few scintillae of water witnessed in the past few weeks, it had gone used to coming to an abrubt end, taking away with it the evanescent happiness it promised.

Nevermind, it is better late than never...

Hope for this delusion to stay a little longer with me this time..!!

Hehe

In the Twilight hours... :)

Aahh… ‘Twilight’. My apologies for not being able to watch it earlier.

Given the kind of critic I am or tend to become even before the movie seems to end (you can ask my friends if you don’t believe me :P), I had thought that this would again be very similar to the approach I generally took while watching a movie. One of the major reasons contributing to it was the consistent, persistent and recurring nudging I had gone accustomed to by now. Just to let you know, I am not at all a movie buff. So, its very difficult for me to catch a few hours out of my busy schedule just to watch a movie :P :P ( I know, I know, an exaggeration, but keep it to yourself, please :P). Many of them suggested me to watch ‘Twilight’… “it’s supposed to be really good.”, “watch it for the scenic beauties.”, “the concept is absolutely riveting!!!!”. But none of these reasons was ever going to fetch me a chance to watch this movie except for the one which followed while i was in a class studying... :P – “Cedric Diggory is the vampire in the movie…!!!!!!”. “Excuse me, THE Cedric Diggory?!?!? He is a WHAT in the movie??!?” yup, yup.. this is what we actully do in a class when we are supposed to be studying the most. This is where I got the real enthu to watch the movie. In case, you are not familiar, which you might just not be, taking the kind of inexplicable hatred people have for the ‘Harry Potter series’, Cedric Diggory was a man/boy of an exceptional intellectual promise. He was one of the Hogrwart’s champions in the TRIWIZARD tournament (the other being Harry himself). He was brilliantly the most sought for guy throughout the book. And unfortunately, Harry’s rival in the two most important ways:

1. He was competing with Harry in the most perilous tournament of all ages, The Triwizard tournament.
2. He was paired with Cho Chang, Harry’s senior, for whom Harry had the hots.. ;)

I hope he is as clear as a crystal to all those who have read and followed the book religiously.

So, ‘Twilight’ is a story of a vampire family striving to make a place for itself amidst the commoners of today’s world. This family is immortal, by the way, and has had its share of life only too many a time. Robert Pattison, our good old “Cedric Diggory” from the Harry Potter series is a part of the family. He falls for a human girl just because he is unable to read her mind, which is quite unlikely for he has powers with which he can intrude anyone’s privacy of mind. The girl, who is also in the same position as his, tries to find out why he acts in such an abnormal fashion, and what it is that makes him so strong. Making a chain, joining all the links in their correct places, she discovers the horrifying truth that follows his life- He is a vampire. Following this, there is a perfect cascading of their beautiful relationship and the times they have together, climbing the trees (probably he is also a descendent of the monkeys for he so comfortable climbing trees at a pace even faster than them :P :P) , gliding through the air and so and so forth.

This movie has managed to escape all the criticism I might have held against any.

Based on a novel by Stephenie Meyer, this movie has got many more sequels which are yet to be released and are still in production. And for once, I am all too keen and in waiting for them to be released J J.

Probably, Ms. Stephanie wanted to voice out a story which made even the grotesque and the parlous of the creatures sound normal and civilly inhabitable. A very fabulous attempt, like our J.K Rowling, who , by all means, is the queen of all such things. She made the magic world seem all the more normal and very much similar to our own muggle world :P :P :P. hehe…

There goes a reason for you to watch the movie. ;) Have fun. :P
