This used to be one of the best threads on PG...but now its the best !!!

Now i can say i always believed u will crack it and blah blah..but how does it matter now ...

personally i feel the journety to CAT is much more fulfilling...people who have cracked it...look positively and those who dont, do learn something out of it..i think its a win win situation...cos u crack CAT or u dont, u make some great friends and make relationships for life...ONLY IF you are on PG

just wish that gleam never dies...whatever be the result of our efforts..

Joy and tears compound me.. another Brett Lee puncho..!!

Is this infectious too?! *sobbing*

Awesome post buddy! Really inspirational. We (U, Aarav, Rohit, myself, et all) had all dreamt being together, but seems that fate has something else in store for us. Neverthless, I vow to return back with Vengeance in CAT06.

I knew this post was coming but never expected it to be THE POST on this thread Kudos. Feels great to have lived that dream with you, I am sure Aarav would vouch for that. Those endless group discussions, strategy sessions, mock CAT analysis. You made it a great learning experience pal. Just two words to sum up that odyssey - Perseverance and Passion.

I am sure your post is going to fuel many more "returns", seldom does one see that level of disciplined effort and a fight back attitude and it would immensely benefit all future aspirants. Enjoy your two years at B and yes our discussions dont cease

I would like to mention one more return here - Vinamara aka vinz. Even though I know him for a short span of time, CAT05 was a similar journey for him. I admire his tenacity and dude this thread is looking forward to your post

I guess the post is too long a one to quote...so me writin this one as a separate post - great series of posts Anupam...truly deserves the line of posts which followed praising them...I havent personally met any of the guys you have mentioned in the post, but wud seriously like to...

The post serves as a big inspiration to forthcoming CAT takers...

Congrats neway Anupam on gettin thru IIMB...I hope to see u in Bangalore soon...

Dear Anupam,

I have always believed the highest mark in a man is not to what heights he reaches but how many people he can actually inspire to reach such similar heights. You truly have given the spark needed and have set many-an-aspirations on fire. You truly are an inspiration man.

The days anand you and me spent together preparing were easily the most memorable days of my preparation. I miss them! *sighs*. We have learnt a lot from you and I wish to thank you for everything.

Here is to a certain Mr. Hollywood (as someone aptly called him) who is sure to win the hearts of people wherever he goes.

@anupam
great post sire..it has elevated the respect i had for you since long..best of luck for IIMB and it was fun reading every word of your experience..i always thought this was your second attempt and you are one of those gifted individuals who study for two weeks and crack cat but through your post what i came to know was certainly diffrent and clearly highlighted the substance which rests inside you..the persevearance ,dedication,commitment and above all the power to chase your dreams that rests inside you is inspirational to say the least.
best of luck at IIMB.

Nice post Anupam!

Without you and HAHA , Hyderabad CAT prep would have been very boring!

I still remember how I met you for the 1st time after an AIMCAT..Both of us were talking to each other in a radius of 2 meters!

THe journey since then has been scintillating!

Btw if somebody wants to know how to solve complete mock in 90 min..contact HAHAHA
if somebody wants to know how to solve 5 Rcs in 25 minutes..then contact

ANd if you want both the qualities..contact anupam

I must admit.. writing this post was a shade easier. Replying to all your posts is extremely difficult as I find myself crippled ..
There are at times when we feel good things should be felt and not expressed.. this being such an occasion.

@anupam: mmm..that was indeed one of the most 'straight-from-the-heart' brilliant narratives I have ever read. Words have the magic of inspiring a generation...and this one has all the potential of being one. Nothing could have elicited so striking an encomium if not for the 'human element' you had succeeded in adding to the post. I would be very much surprised if that doesnt set many a fire alight..

To add 'you deserved it..','the journey has just begun..' etc etc would be redundant and being a 'veteran' myself I know how little it captures...and I know ,inspite of what we would like to believe and advocate, 'CAT' is more than an exam....

@The Raven : I loved your matter-of-fact post too.. It was pretty much reminiscent of what type of person 'you are' and there would be one surprised man this side of the vindhyas if you had written anything as 'narrative' as Anupam . Different people different styles....

I like reading this posts for a totally different reason..gives a lot of insight regarding the kind of person one is.
Wish more people take their time to key in their thoughts....

Girish...!
