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

Everything is fine.. "Failures are the F**king stones to success"-- too good.. but you're talking as though you made a miserable attempt.. I'm sure you've just missed it by a whisker and you have a very high probability of getting calls from SP Jain or MDI.. Unaware reader would believe that you're a person with Man's expectations and a Woman's Brain.. LOL..
