Done by CAT................................

12th Jan 2011

It was 2 AM, when I woke up. Picked my phone and checked the CAT result site for my score. The site was not up at that moment. Went to sleep only to woke up again at 4 AM to check the result. The site was functioning, however it wasn't showing my result. There could have been some issue. Slept again.

Woke up at 7 AM. Didn't went to gym. I was very anxious to know how I had performed in my first ever CAT appearance. To my disbelief, the site wasn't displaying my result, in other words it was taking lot of time to fetch the data from server resulting in connection time out cause of high network traffic. Thats how a geek can define things. For hours it seemed as time has stopped and I am stuck.

My friends who had seen their score were asking for mine. I had nothing to give them back. Finally I got my score card ast around 4 PM. Result was not as per my expectation. People say that CAT never cease to surprise and that's exactly what had happened. This time they came up with variable marking system based on the level of difficulty of the question. And that expains perfectly why I scored low.

I wasn't expecting to top the chart or calls from IIM. However, I would have been glad if my score would have said anything between 75-85 percentile which was not the case. I scored on 55 percentile. With this goes my dream of going to college to do Power Management. Now I won't even get a call to attend the GD and PI rounds. All my hopes are dead. There is no light at end of tunnel. But life goes on and so do I. Got to switch to plan B now. Have to look for job in other companies to get a good salary hike cause my present sucks. Have to start reading the theoretical stuff and mug up hell lot of information and data.

The year has started with a bad note for me and I intend to end this with a good one. Bring it on..........

Benefits of Not Having a Girl-Friend

Statutory Warning - If You are a girl, please do not Proceed.


I have been friends to many guys having Girl Friends and all that's common they got is that none of them have time for themselves, forget family and friends. That's been the story of my life. I did tried many times, but today I feel really great that I didn't succeed. Yeah, yeah grapes are sour, I know that. However, I have learnt the lesson that it's good to be alone than having someone constantly monitoring and bugging you. Here goes the benefits of being single  :-

1. No need to explain why you smoke and drink.
2. No need to buy Reliance CDMA phone for unlimited free calls (catch the drift) and less bill amount.
3. Can talk and flirt with anyone you like.
4. No need to explain why you didn't picked the call.
5. You can utilize leaves to go to your native rather than going to meet your girl.
6. All the money in world is yours and yours only to spend on yourself.
7. No need to fight with friends over Weekend Plans. Always available.
8. No added pressure at office.
9. No telling lies.

Well, more can be added to the list, however I feel those are the main points. If you sum up all the these, you will figure out the alchemy, the eternal freedom and the way to live life, king size.


Note : - This is not a work of fiction and any resemblance to all living and dead is purely intentional.
             If you are a girl, (and still reading this), you know you got a problem. Just too curious to
             know everything, isn't it?   :-)

Being Uncle...................................

Every morning, when I see my image in mirror, I say "Sam, you are more than 25 now, and still look like a guy from college - basically a kid." untill yesterday.

I woke up early morning to hit gym. When I was returning, a young boy was standing on footpath looking for lift. I stopped. He said - "Uncle, can you please drop me at main road?".

"Oye, do I look like Uncle to you?" I said.

He replied innocently - "Yes Uncle?".

I felt like someone had hit me with iron rod at my head. I was astonished and stunned to hear that. I have always admired my childish look. I always felt good when someone younger than me had come to me and asked me which year in college I am.

And there was this kid, shattered my long cherished illusion in few words. I realized, that one day or other, it had to happen. Run however and wherever you want, but you can't run away from fact. And the fact is, I am getting older. My friends are getting married and soon, I will be addressed as Uncle only (ofcourse by their Kids).

Am I feeling bad cause of this? Not now.

I know very well, the more you try not to be someone, the more closer you get to be. The more you worry about your age, the older you look. Feel like a kid at heart and behave like one sometime. It can do wonders for you.

As for being Uncle, it's a phase and will pass by and will change to Grand Dad.  :-)
