FOIBLE::

**A minor weakness or failing of character.
**The weaker section of a sword blade, from the middle to the tip.
It can also mean some sort of behvioural attitudes peculiar to certain people like idiosyncracies.........But I came I across the word in the sentence...." I have been fumbling around with the foibles of the French language.......

VILE::
**wretchedly bad, offensive, repugnant, depraved, despicable, morally debased, degraded, ignominious etc. etc...
Like we can say a vile humour etc...

EPIPHANY::
** If this word starts with the first letter that is E in capital, it means a Christian festival, observed on January 6, commemorating the manifestation of Christ to the gentiles in the persons of the Magi; Twelfth-day.
**But for other cases, it means, an appearance or manifestation, esp. of a deity or
** a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience
** a literary work or section of a work presenting, usually symbolically, such a moment of revelation and insight.

Like we can say....... The art work was an epiphany showing me the true meaning of life.....

OXYMORON::
** a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect, as in "cruel kindness" or "to make haste slowly."
This is propbably self-explnatory..like a silent boom can be an oxymoron....

PERTINENT::
** pertaining or relating directly and significantly to the matter at hand; relevant: pertinent details.
Like we can say.....My boss is always piqued when I miss out on the pertinent details of the project....

Hey Devashish do not get worried about others' having a headstart or screwing your last CAT. Ultimately for CAT, its not important when u start ur preparation but how u go about it. There have been cases where ppl have prepared for just one month and have cracked the dreaded test. The important thing is to first get your basics rite and then build on them.
As far as an effective schedule to follow, what i feel is it depends from person to person. What may be a good schedule for me may not be so good for u. Try any schedule , if it works then follow it diligently otherwise change it.
