Meoow!

The day of deliverance is here! On Nov 20 almost 2 Lakh are going to write the toughest management entrance examination in the world. I am one of them. Hopes are pinned on me by my parents and I am responsible for nurturing it in order to escape from other failures I had encountered. Well, am i prepared for it?
The short answer is NO. I don't know the long answer but it will also border on some shade of no as well. The prep for thequantitative section of the paper has been abysmal to say the least. I just lost my drive mid way through the preparations. I cannot pin why, though. The data analysis and logic part is also pretty ill-prepared and my logic never seems to find rest with the real answers :-(. I always thought I could score on verbal section, but the recent performance is not very promising. Earlier I used to score some 36-38 marks and out of it 30 used to be verbal alone! Needless to say quant would be a perfect anda. Nowadays, the score remains the same but I tend to score some 25 on the verbal part. Not good!
I heard from reliable sources that Nitin is working damn hard these days and giving 150% on the preparation. Here I am giving in a "third" of that effort. ( i meant the third number :-0)
Tomorrow we are leaving at 6:30 PM, Nitin, Santhi, Divakar and myself. Everything has been arranged and only thing left is to find the centres beforehanded.
My expectations? Well, I hope to score some decent percentile so I can qualify for atleast some low ranked institutions in TIME's list as a last straw.
I am expecting to do better in XAT, since it has more emphasis on verbal and there is an essay part and a GK section too. But the institution count is low :-(. Hope I can put my head straight by then. ( well not by then MUCH before then!)
I thank all my friends who have encouraged me and supported me. You people have done your part in playing the cheerleaders but now its up to me!
Pray for me people!
I say good bye till 21st with these lines from my favourite song Estranged by Guns N Roses...

"Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out"

"When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time"

Sigh!

Why is the beer bottle so slender? I think its a deconstruction of the fact that you get a pot belly after a few beers over a period of time. Ah well, I should be taking a few sit ups! Ciao. P.S: I should be remembering the following cartoon before I start a fight with someone. Ciao again. (toon courtesy: xkcd )

Get ready for Shyamaprasad's Rithu

His new film, Rithu (Seasons), is a buddy tale that blooms in the changing social and emotional landscape of a small south Indian town. Three childhood friends, who grew up in the same neighborhood and went to same school and college, weave up their dreams about life together. Sarat, Varsha, and Sunny were inseparable in their love, bonding, and innocence. Sarat and Varsha grew fond of each other, in a more internal and less physical manner. Sunny is more like a brother to Sarat. To raise money to achieve their dreams, Sarat leaves for California to live and work. The other two take up jobs in Bangalore. Three years later, they return to the throes of their changing hometown. After an emotional reunion and a sweet build-up of hopes, each finds that beneath their camaraderie, they had actually outgrown their old selves.  via movies.rediff.com My cousin is working on the post production of this movie and he is raving about it. His ravings and my tastes sometimes co...

Amused

Just went through the movie Shatranj Ke Khiladi ( Satyajit Ray ) came upon the following dialogue. Very Amusing and Educational to say the least! :-P Some British Officer: Also dresses up like a Hindu God, I'm told. His Junior: Yes, sir. He also composes his own operas. SBO: Doesn't leave him much time for his concubines......not to speak of the affairs of state. Does he really have 400 concubines? HJ: I believe that's the count, sir. SBO: And 29 muta wives. What the hell are muta wives? HJ: Muta wives, sir. SBO: That's temporary wives. HJ: Temporary wives. - Yes, sir. A muta marriage can last for 3 days, 3 months or 3 years. Muta is an Arabic word. SBO: -And it means temporary. HJ: No, sir. SBO: - No? HJ: It means, enjoyment, sir. SBO: Oh! Oh, yes. I see. Most instructive. Powered by ScribeFire .
