Why Am I Blogging???

There's no escaping reason, no denying purpose - because as we all know, without purpose, this blog would not exist. It is purpose that created it, Purpose that guides it, That drives it, It is purpose that defines it, Purpose that binds it.

I had long desired to write a verbose blog, just like those CAT-06/07 RC's (Some how all my examples invariably allude to CAT, pls excuse... still suffering from hangover :D), but then I decided not to write one like that because,
  • I know how it feels to read those passages.. Feels like kambikumbam(shld have watched a tamil movie Anniyan to appreciate this).. LOL
  • More importantly I don't know how to write such Blogs.. :D

So i had to resort to Copy Paste to get those first few lines for this Blog. For those still wondering what it is, it is a dialogue taken from the film Matrix(modified a bit).

Ok what is that purpose that defines, binds, drives, guides and created this Blog
Is it my intent to share my knowledge?
Is it my desire to enforce my opinion on the readers?
Is it something to put in my hobbies during Personal Interviews?
The answer shall be Nooooooooooooo to all the above questions, then why the f**k am I writing this?

Through a blog I felt I could express my real self, no inhibitions that I face in the real life. Spit out whatever I feel from my heart, no need for the brain to edit and selectively permeate words. I can freely use the "f" word, nowhere do I have this freedom :D. Doesn't mean I have a compulsive desire to use "f" word as a verb in every sentence. But then even that is possible. This feels like a Matrix and me none other than "NEO".

Now comes the serious purpose for my blog, Once sufficient traffic builds up, I am planning to set up Google Adsense and then rake some revenue out of that. I can see a grin, I may be little ambitious but then I am serious. I still have more plans, but I will reveal them in future blogs.

One another serious intent. I feel like NEO, so hoping to find Trinity soon.. Actually the trinity finds Neo in Matrix, whatever don't want to act egoistic and lose any oppurtunity.. :D

I guess by this time, you must have really understood what the author wanted to convey through the above array of words, ok I will make this easy the CAT way(again hangover)
(a) Share his knowledge.
(b) Use the "f" Word in all his official emails.
(c) Go past Mukesh Ambani with the revenue from this Blog.
(d) Find Trinity
(e) None of the Above.
Anyone predicting the correct option gets a free pass into the IIM of their choice next year(ROFL) and also gets to share 20% of the Ad-revenue that I hope to generate through Blogs(I guess that should be enough to fund your IIM fee).

P.S. Thank you for all the comments and feedbacks for my first blog. Hope to bring out some more in the future.

My Cat had three lives

I have been thinking about composing a blog for a very long time, but then never had the motivation to do it. But then somehow I wanted to scribble something after Nov-18th debacle(CAT Day), So my blog journey starts with describing a failure.

Just like 2.3lac ppl on Earth, even I had a big dream(I still have it) of making it into the IIM's. I don't want to dwell too much on my preparation and my test, in short I screwed up CAT-07 big time :D

I guess the day after CAT is the most irritating day for most of the students who end up like me(screwed by CAT).. I had to answer so many phone calls from friends and relatives. I wished I erased the fact that i took CAT from their memory.

Their intentions are very good, no doubt but then by consoling they only rub salt in the wound. I felt really relieved after CAT-07 even though I screwed it up, since there shall be no more long nights, no more mocks in the weekends and really cherished the thought of a normal life. Then suddenly a friend turns up in IM and says "U will make it next time", How may next times am i going to have? " u have a good chance" Buddy u need to be in IIM admission office to say that. "failure is the f**king stone of success" Oh My God! What next???

The fact is I am really happy that this exam is over, though I may have been beaten this time, i am not at all worried, bcos I put up a brave fight before going down. I have no intentions to hurt anyone through this post. If anyone felt hurt, then it is purely coincidental.. :D
