CAT-woman

History is replete with articles indicating how difficult it is to win the affections of a woman. I'm going to add one more. Why do I think that cracking CAT is easier than cracking through that wall put up by women? Here are a few reasons

For women: I need to understand when a no means no and a no means "maybe if you try harder"... and there is no way for you to deduce it...you should just know when to stop, when to try harder or when not to try at all.
For CAT: No ambiguities.

For women: Need to be charming, witty, intelligent, have a good sense of humor, need to be tall (DAMN!!!!), need to be rich (not always, but it helps in many ways)
For CAT: You just need some common sense, which can be acquired with a little practice. You could crack it even if your sense of humour is as dry and shrivelled up as a dehydrated plum, even if your wit and charm merits the kind of attention cacophonyx gets for his singing. Intelligence....just a little but more importantly one needs some presence of mind.

For women: Need to remember dates, events, occurences which sometimes go back to the jurassic era. Many of them have no written record and thus left solely to their discretion on whether they're right or wrong, or whether they exist or not.
CAT: Need to remember what you studied in high school. That too only up until the exam gets over.

For women: The 'yes' or 'no ' seems to be pre determined. But you still have to go through the entire rigmarole before you let her know what you feel. Anything done before that simply disqualifies you.
For cat: Yes, you have to work hard. But the yes or no is not pre determined.

For Women: If a woman ( of your dreams) falls for you, man you're one lucky sonofabitch. I'm not lucky...and I find being lucky about as hard as growing tall or fat.
CAT: You don't have to be lucky to crack it.

So there you go. About the only common things needed are some intelligence and lots of hard work. But believe me, in case of women, its not as simple as it sounds. Lots of guys can vouch for that. And I find cracking CAT hard enough.

Devdas Johnny

Thats what I feel happened to Johnny. I never asked him why, with all his brilliance and with all the success he initally had, did he decide to remain unmarried and drown himself in slow poison. No one to talk to? Or no one to understand? I wish you could tell me now.

I am Hannibal Lecter

Thats what I thought while I was eating my masala dosa today. While tearing apart the dosa the potato bhaji appeared just as it would if you tear up the belly of a person. An I savoured the innards. Makes me sound yuck I know...

Wierd Dream

Uncle johnny expired years ago. However, one bright day, at the place where he was staying, I saw uncle johnny near the well. He was singing happily. All of a sudden, he falls into the well and I hear the glug glug sounds of a person drowning. I didn't go to save him because he was already dead years ago. Or should I have saved him?

Lost in the ocean

Dear me,
Preparation is not enough. I get the feeling that I have joined classes a tad too late. But I mustn't give up. Chodans success story is inspiring. I have to improve my memory. It mustn't fail me. Target is to quit cogni after CAT. No other option. Cannot afford to spend more time here. Quant speed is slow. English has to improve. Next week is the SIMCAT. Not expecting too much but I hope I get somewhere. I musn't give up. I have to make a new beginning. I feel left out of the race. Work at office is drab and is killing me mentally. So far all pagal guy's questions have either not been answered at all or answered wrongly. Need to go a long way. Its a battle for 15oo seats with 3 lakh people vying for it. I have to beat that google guy.

All the best

A new beginning

Joined CAT classes today. Hoping to quit the company by the beginning of next year. Hope things come through. I've got a tempororary mission. I need a long term goal. Unfortunately I've also been put into this ESOA project which makes me do some kind of work. Happy that i have work. But deep down i feel i should've started cat preparation much earlier. Better late than never. Just hope I can quit the company after november.
