managed to give the test

It has been a harsh month or so.The curfews and the pleural effusion did not help after all.The preparations were already on all time low and in the nitro boost period everything went in for energy saving mode.

Nevertheless,the experience was hilarious.Although not in ideal state to give the test(unbathed since 3days,stomach full of gastric juices only,contracted cold),felt much better than the AIMCATs.

The AIMCATs were a total loss.For 3000 odd bucks would have earned me apps galore for my iPhone and also some cool apparels.

But I must tell you this city continues to surprise me.

There is always a new trouble up its sleeves and hence needs constant vigil,or else you are screwed.details on this would be in travails and travels.

Did not get time to revise the QA section.English went on relatively smooth,could review the section.lets see what happens keeping legs crossed.

JAAGO MOHAN PYAARE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Missed the AIMCAT 1206 today..........I feel like kicking myself..........still searching for that shock which will jolt me out of this oblivion and delusion...........hopefully next post after CAT.Signing off till then.

CAT N MOUSE

The more I try to run away from it,more is the number of re-entries this thing makes.Started preparing for it as I was not willing to go for M.Tech.
You not interested in GATE then CAT it is.Got myself enrolled for TIME which had started that year only in campus.
6TH SEMESTER,B.TECH,MECH. ENGG.,
At first i.e. till march 2008 I was trying to convince myself I can/will do this.Then came april and the lecture+presentation of Ashoka Leyland.Suddenly the moods swung,preferences changed.
Gotta get placed in a good automobile company........yeah,only for getting the job that these irritating/frustating/monotonous/cramophilic lectures were endured.
I read from cover to cover The Crouse.Then came the period of rejections but not that blunt and direct.Leyland was the first core company to visit our campus 1st or 2nd april.got through the written,next was PI that too in lucknow(pool campussing)
.Till date I don't know whether being interviewed after lunch was my fault or not knowing types of ail filters used in cars.Nevertheless,was confident of not making the cut.And the result was consistent with my
Next was MSIL juggernaut.After a week of rumours dates were announced of maruti visit,30th May 2008 after the sem end.The same old 20 questioned paper,got through the written,PI tomorrow.Ok will get thru the PI,their HR some Grover seemed jovial,these people dont look like tech-mongers.Then have to start summer training in Railways Workshop,Jamalpur.will be a double whammy
.Not to be.
Was interviewed in the last,and that too in HR panel.They seemed tired and couldn't go beyond my schooling.
aha....boarding school....ragging......co-curricular,extra curricular.My stories  were gags for them and my interview ended with:was good talking to you,Manish. you entertained us,that's it!Thank You.What followed was a rushed packing and the journey will be described in travails and travels,the journeys' blog.
The first company to come in Final Year was BCH Electric limited and after being rejected by three companies(resume for L&T was rejected,late submission) didn't think twice before sitting for it.Got through.And just before the names were announced,another notice came,TML is going to visit after 6 days.
What more,I am still trying for it.Switching to TML..Meanwhile filled the form for CAT-2008 and on 16 th nov appeared for my first CAT exam.Before placement couldn't prepare after placement what is the need.....
Till date I have had 2 all india level humiliations:
IIT MAINS 2004 Mathematics.
CAT 2008.
Just hoping CAT 2011 does not go on to become the 3rd one.
Just hoping.
