bas chaabi ghumani hai...

Life should have become simpler after getting calls but instead the workload has become rather complex. For the first time since school have i started feel that 'onus on me' thing. Shuffling between mock GDs, PIs and classes is starting to become more enjoyable as i take this as an opportunity to learn...not from the perspective of cracking B-school GDs, PIs but just to improve myself. Keeping busy is an activity most NSITians stay away from unless the exams are a week away, so i am kind of happy for myself at this point in time.

Now what i need to do is to pursue my dreams more aggressively and grasp the importance of the safe whose key i have already located...bas ab chaabi ghumani hai.
I completely accept that i am not as smart as my result says...but then i am not that foolish to let it go away too easily:)

This post is just to motivate myself to do well...aapke padne ke liye nahi hai:)

now for the song of the post:
its the song from 'papa kehte hain'....'pehle pyar ka pehla gham'...absolute beauty...kavita krishnamurthy at her best...what attracts me is the melody of the song in spite of it being a sad one. Also i feel a song cannot get as simple as this.

fundas galore...

So finally with FMS today, all my written B-School entrance papers come to an end...It has been a long and arduous journey but i am pretty happy with the way i performed all through. Happy not because I cracked all the exams i sat for, because i actually wasn't able to do that, but because i did not buckle under the pressure...i was pretty cool about the whole affair, about peer and parents' pressure...though it is very likely that my decent placement had an important role to play in the same.

Some of the gyan that i would like to share with you all is as follows:

(1) don't take it to your heart, once a winner always a winner...and once a loser doesn't mean you cannot win the next day.

(2) luck plays a huge role in these exams especially when we are in a country like India with more than 2lakh people sitting and only 1200 odd seats to be filled. Luck factor with hardwork + smart work, can be minimized but only to an extent.
So basically any of the exam days can be your lucky day...every dog has its day and so can you...how else can one explain pathetic 2707 rank in jmet one day and iim calls on another day?

(3) Don't take too many exams, i committed a mistake by giving every B-School entrance exam i had heard of. Instead of that the need is to focus on 3-4important ones, because the day you lose your intensity half the battle is already lost and it'll take a herculean effort to get back to winning mode.

(4)pado...zaroor pado...bahot pado but never take the confidence in your studies/preparation/hard work to your head.

(5) I have already mentioned that you need to be lucky to do well...talking about an average Joe like me...so i feel that one should try and ride on that luck...agar luck hoga tabhi admission hoga...so why not take full advantage of it? in short attempt questions if you have shortlisted even 2 options, and give your hunch a lead over intellect.

and yes as far as the CAT result goes...i got 2 missed calls...the rest i was able to pick up:)
