yet another CAT that went the wrong way

Posted in feline obsessions by ohiorat on January 28, 2008
There was this famous writer who goes to a great extend to describe the cat as an animal which can never be tamed. He says that when man tamed all the other animals which includes the horse, the dog , the sheep, the cow and many others. It was the cat who walked the wrong way. He choose to be indifferent to all the efforts by man. Yet the cat walks among man to remind him of the his incompetence.

The person who gave me the above idea would be resting in peace. I am not sure though. But as for the cat i can’t agree anymore.

Why i am brought into submission to accept the idea that cat is tough to beI tamed is not the cat strangely, but its namesake. (Even if the experiences with a real cat are quite testifying the fact mentioned above. The numerous scratches i got of a cat, for no fault of mine, further substantiate my claims.)

The CAT mentioned is CAT or common admission test. As the real cat, CAT also never left any stones unturned in disclosing my inability. Its not that i didn’t know it going wrong. I knew it the moment i wrote the first mock. But instead putting more effort i just went along and let CAT decide its own path.

So here i am voicing my disappointment at not being able to do something of worth mention. I wish i was speaking tales of my valor instead. May be next year. Till then i will be thinking of the cat which gave me those scratches.

p.s. – The 300 bucks which i invested in travelling to and returning from the CAT center grieved me a lot until recent developements gave me something more serious to worry about. I lost around some 10 grands due to market fluctuations.

To crack a Mocking CAT

Posted in feline obsessions by ohiorat on July 16, 2007
As was told its long time since i wrote any exam of competitive nature. I could say proudly two years before i have wrote CAT. I did decent for a guy who did not even think of preparing for any exams. But all didnt turn out well that November as your truly royally screwed a power systems exam where even after getting a score of 35/50 i could not amass a meager 40/100.

I did write the exam again fly out with colors. I thank my lethargic mentality and my screwing up of the driving test for my successful completion of the four year course. That is a big story which will appear in here times to come.

Now after two years i wrote a simulative exam which seemed some what like CAT.

After a majorly screwed night where i wasn’t able to sleep well because of the stray dogs which howled periodically which would remind us of a great Actor/Singer/Music Director. I had to wake up early on a Sunday and go to JNC for giving the MockCat.

So Sunday Morning. The Sun was taking his time in coming up. I was in no mood to enjoy the Sunrise. But i do accept the fact that i used to wake up even before the Sun is up at one point of my life. Ya man i also went for tuitions. After having a quick ablution which only happened because i thought that I wont get the lift till JNC otherwise.

<Females. How are you doing ? Please skip this para. .>
JNC is the place where you get to see a lot of girls. Was highly optimistic about meeting some real cute females. Optimism, I must say is as bad as Pessimism. Consider the hypothetical situation where you hope that a awesome female comes next to you. Or rather two females sitting next to you. Now consider the hypothetical situation where you are so happy that you just find out how many ways of arranging three of you in 3 chairs. Such favourable situations will definitely bring out the best out of any one. Now consider the practical situation where none of this happens. Thats how it was for me. Hope some body is listening.

10:30 Sunday, waiting for the mockcat paper to come to my hand. The guy next to me was dressed in jeans and a T. He gets a phone-call. I didn’t bother listening to what he was speaking as i was told that eavesdropping is not a good thing to know. But what i was like forced to listen i could make out that he was a M.C.P..

12:30 Sunday, after 2 hours of fight with the 28 sides of optimism_derailing_content . I came to the following conclusion.

Following can be classified as Facts or Inferences or Judgment or None of the above or All of the above as per the liking of the reader.

Quant —> Not so bad. Not that good too.
DI —> Practice will make me perfect.
Eng —> CAT 2008. Here i come.

Human body consists majorly of fluids. And high on fluids I was, decide to quit the CAT midway. So that i could rehydrate myself.

So the moral of the story : Nevaaaar think of drinking water during the days of Mock CAT.

Oh these feline obsessions

I am not talking about those beautiful females walking in a unique gait they call catwalk. I knew that those who read this are mostly filled with lot of morality. But that was a time wasn’t it ? When we watched the channel without letting our parents know. The remote was always glued onto my hands with my thumbs on the swap button which will make the screen jump to the channel where a old man is seriously making some pertinent observations about the next years budget. Amma and Appa are so happy that their kid is deep into civic awareness . Civic awareness and me, nice joke. I think that i am too old for all that now. Seriously i am getting older, readers. Next month i will be older by an year and i see more responsibilities coming my way.

If you guessed that i am talking about C.A.T. then i need to say that you are smart and you should be reading articles which are more suiting to your intellect than this stupid blog of mine. This i say with all due respect to all those who spend a lot of time in reading all those things i write. You guys are wasting your time in a meaningful pursuit. Seriously you guys are. For those who haven’t guessed it so far i think you guys will either like this blog or dislike it.

It all started in college when i happened to know about the exam for entrance into the some of the elite Business schools of our country. The previous exam i wrote of any competitive nature(read as i was competitive when i wrote that exam. Now all spirits are low. I don’t have it in me to see if i have it in me to go through all that again.) The first experience weren’t ripe but were not sore either. Contento.(off late myself indulging in one of my new obsessions which is learning Italian. Hope it doesn’t turn out to be as bad as my last one which was horse riding where the first day i went to learn it the horse went amok and scared the hell out of me. )

I am writing this article after some two years from college and I know its all rusted. Yes I am talking about the cycle I used in College. Also rusted is the stupid brain of mine. Maybe I have to fight a bit to get the whole thing back to normality. I know what all I have to do. But the lazy me is still reluctant in practicing the same. May be next month. May be after June 15. (not next year. I know it’s a bit late but let me try.) But in the end I am sure I will get to somewhere I belong to, really belong to.

p.s. All those who read this please pray for me.
