Bacho!!! Shant ho jao!!!

My experience of more than 50 mocks and 2 CATs says that at the end of the day nothing matters. The difficulty level of the paper doesn't matter at all. If it was difficult for you, it would have been difficult for others as well.
I too gave the paper in the evening slot today and i would agree that the paper was very standard as it what should be. 40 correct of this paper and 40 correct of initial slots are not the same. It would all be taken care of.
And i was personally happy to see a paper slightly on the tougher side. It was fun taking the paper. The problem these days is that we get so much occupied with the result that we forget enjoying preps. How does it matter if i don't go to an IIM but some other college. I know 100s of people in IIMs and as many in other colleges and their isn't much difference honestly.
So just stay calm and trust yourself. Wherever you go, carve out a niche.

Why should one vote for abhishek_sharma (PURATE):

1. Pirates of Caribbean - 4 is releasing soon and that reminded me of my loyalties towards PUYRATE.

2. Somehow this guy cannot take PUYS out of his mind, which shows in his name as well.

3. Abhishek was also the name of my DT'09 captain and hence the fascination.

4. Sharma was the surname of my childhood fantasy and hence the fascination.

5. One should always prefer to be on the safer side and the safer side always belongs to the eventual winner, that is PUYRATE.

6. BMR gives 500 Rs. to everyone who votes for PUYRATE and also a free beer if you post as well.

7. Because of the above 6 points

8. Because the above 7 points were typed by after an effort of few mins.

All the best guys.

You all will definitely rock. If not CAT '10, then surely in life. Don't let all this hype affect the sanity of your mind. Keep your cool; it's just an exam and not the end of the world.

And, i won't mind a few 100%ilers this time. Last time we had none.

Happy b'day kalika

Ok, so we are ready with a team once again. A team full of enthusiasm, wanting to solve the mystery behind online CAT. Wish LUCK to all of you.
You will definitely have a good time. It'll be the time when you'll make new friends and your name would be talked about in different zones of the country. That's enough to make a mortal appear lost.
There might be periods of low but remember that the fact that you are in this team is enough indicator that you have TALENT. And talent can take you miles.
Here you'll meet and interact with wonderful people. I still can't forget the conversations that i had with MY CAPTAIN Abby. He has had a great impact on my life for reasons that can't be put in words. And i'm more than sure that Shashank will have the same impact.
Good Luck once again.

A long Bye from my side to PG. It was worth being here.

Ok, so Dream Team time once again.

Now, i'm in that nostalgic state once again. Giving mocks, cracking them good, sometimes not so good. Then the endless discussion. Those great conferences where yours truly was always the nuisance creator, but gladly not the only one.
And then the CAT demon, where your dear DT'09 got kicked in ass.
Doesn't matter much though. Everyone will get what he deserves. Read this somewhere, "By the age of fifty you have made yourself what you are, and if it is good, it is better than your youth."

Things will always get even out in the long run. So don't think much about the future. Just live these moments.
You'll have a nice time in the coming months and nicer times thereafter irrespective of performance in exams.
Just enjoy the journey you are about to begin.

BEST LUCK

contemplating these days on what life should be. felt like sharing this amazing poem.

WHAT is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?
- No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

Dream Team Kahaan gaye sab log?? :shocked:

Would like to post a new question for 10th May 2010....


Name the 5 best and the 5 worst books you have ever read....

had to answer this one.
my favourite ones:
1. The story of Philosophy
2. 1984
3. Games People Play - Eric Berne
4. The kite Runner
5. The Fountain Head
6. It's not about the Bike

as for worst ones being asked, i don't think there exists a thing called a worst book. i agree that i have read some books which i didn't like but that doesn't make the book bad. it either means that the book is not meant for me or i need to mature more in order to understand the essence of the book. categorizing any book as worst is probably getting judgmental, in my opinion.


p.s.- i guess my personal opinion is judgmental only. but again it's tax free
