So here we are!! First of all that was a brilliant post Allwin <c'mon! someone call him by his name!
> Been a addict of this forum from February last year! As Lijo a.k.a Indyan mentioned came to know of this forum from the cat2k2 group...though started posting kinda regularly only from June. Should admit was more interested in the man behind the forum and have had brief chats with him at unearthly hours! And one word which describes him is PASSION..though even that doesn't do much justice! The skeptic I am I have often asked him what was the raison d'etre for the Forum..the "fanatical" service notwithstanding!
And well lot of ppl don't realize that PG is a CAT aspirant too <serious or not> and one of my classmates from IMS asked me two days back," Hey you are a member of pagalguy.com right? Can u ask someone called Pagalguy there whether I will clear the cut offs and whether my score is good enough? apparently he gives a more realistic analysis!!!! who the hell is he anyway??"
And it took me abt half an hour telling him everything.."almost" repeated PG's post!
The community feeling the forum fosters is indeed commendable and also the junta rocks big time! That is simply self evident by the number of
PG MEETS we are having! I think we have really gone "public" now going by the sheer number of ppl thronging the forum! Infact not long back there were not more than 10 regular posters....but now!!!
But the moot question is...WHAT NEXT? It would be gross underuse of the potential and great injustice to the forum and to the vision behind the forum if it turns out to be merely a virtual socializing place and a dump for all our mock cAT scores....the intellectual capital present in the forum is simply tremendous and steps must be taken to tap it and make the best of it....and this is the time where the
B-schoolers have to really rise up to the occasion...should admit in spite of being a regular in this forum for more than a year and having "interacted" with the b-schoolers via their posts I am still back to square one when given a choice between choosing between any of the IIM's or XLRI! <hypothetically speaking ofcourse...considering my dismal performance in this Recat have only a freakish chance of getting a call> So the need for the hour is more objective analysis and more objective views from the B-schoolers! after all we all know things are NEVER as rosy as they are touted out to be...so what is the REAL picture????What actually goes on behind the scenes? Why exactly is ur "dad" stronger than the other one? So to really take informed decisions abt the B-school we are gonna take...we need to hear from the Horses mouth...and considering the fact there are "horses" in almost every "stable" worth its salt in India in this forum ....B-schoolers are you listening?
The number of ppl from this forum who are eventually gonna make it to a B-school is certainly gonna be huge! Those who do must really strive to contribute to the forum in a more objective way...it's time we "do it" than merely "say it"...after all proof of the pudding is in only tasting it! Let us make use of the greatest thing to come out of the ppl...the ppl and their intellectual cpaital..something tells me THAT will be the defining moment for this forum where ppl will flock not only for a more objective and realistic analysis for cut-offs but also for joining a B-school! It might seem like a mere pie in the sky for now....but then abt 17 months back someone with a crazy URL <pun intentional> and a couple of members had a dream...and look where we are now!
Girish...!
... Party harder
....who would set up a domain name called pagalguy.
