CAT 2007! One of the toughest and highly competitive exam in India which, if cracked, leads one to the path of successful life and career with prosperity. The exam was on 18th November 2007.
I woke up at morning 6 and prepared a cup of tea for myself. While sipping the tea at my balcony, I though a bit about the exam. Cold breeze seemed to me like CAT which was attacking my body and I had only one weapon to defend myself. The Tea! But soon I realized that my tea is not hot and prepared well so I simply got up and came inside the room.
My other roommates had woke up by then and everyone were rushing to prepare for the exam. Every one of us was feeling very happy, inexplicably!
One year back, I started preparation for CAT with full enthusiasm. Preparation of CAT itself taught me so many things. It changed my perspective towards everything we perceive in our daily life and taught to perceive them in the way other than our conventional wisdom. But I couldn’t maintain my dedication towards my preparation. The reason was both, I couldn’t cope up with the pressure and the main reason, I didn’t study the way I should have done.
I reached the examination center (Pragati College) one hour before reporting time. Most of my time passed in noting my room number and depositing my belongings at store room. People in huge number were present there. I saw very few who were smiling or laughing or talking to someone but there was lots of noise. It was impossible to comprehend that noise but the voice was filled with anxiety and nervousness. Noise got feeble when instructor over there signaled to enter the premises.
My room was on second floor. I entered the room and checked my watch, 30 minutes was still left for the exam to start. There were around 20 people in my room. I noticed, few of them were sitting with their eyes closed, finger of both hands crossed and elbow on the desk, praying. Even I pray before the exams, but I thought that works only if I do enough hard work and prepare for the exam honestly. Few others were looking too stressed and their eyes were half closed, seemed like they haven’t slept for past few days. I saw 2-3 girls with their palm on their face and pressed tightly against the face. That expression was strange to me and I couldn’t determine what mental condition of them leads to that gesture! Then I noticed my self, why I am so confidence and only person in the examination hall who is staring others instead of posing for one of the above gesture. Ohh I need not write why! I thought if I would be able to maintain the same coolness and confidence with full preparation just before the exams, ever in my life, I would definitely end up in one of the prominent management institute.
The invigilator delivered the question paper and answer sheet and instructed how to fill them. At sharp 10:30 he signaled to open the question paper. The next moment after 10:30 which I realized was at 1 pm when he instructed to stop writing and started collecting answer sheets.
There was a scary silence at the examination center just after the completion of exam. Everybody was only looking at each other without any expression on their face. The minds were unable to shape any expression using muscles of face after it’s exploitation in last two and half hour by their owners. Slowly minds started getting conscious and I heard few people discussing the paper with each other.
I rushed to collect my belongings which I had deposited at store room. That was the quickest two and half hour which passed in my life and my first ever competitive exam which I wrote. Hope I will be doing it better next year.

Ek Ladki..
She appreciates others for their smile. She also tells people how smart they look. Appreciating others is the best way to motivate them. And when people are confident, with positive attitude half of their sickness is healed. So I guess it is understood that she is a doctor.
My interaction with her started around one year back through “Gandhidham” community in orkut. I had started one thread on “Awareness towards HIV-AIDS”. She put her valuable comments on the issue and I got the opportunity to have her as my friend.
She never uploaded her snap on orkut but her entries and scraps fascinated me. Her entries showed lots of enthusiasm, cuteness, and were full of masti. I always waited for her new comments on any of the thread she was participating.
When I visited G’dham last time in April, I requested her to meet me but she gave an incongruous excuse to me. Of course girls won’t go to meet unknown persons and that also in town like G’dham. Gradually our interaction increased and we are good buddies now.
I always adore her as very lively person. I imagined her loud laugh whenever we exchanged naughty scraps. In office hours which are so lonely and dead, her scraps made me to smile; they were like energy booster for me. I am lucky enough to have her as my friend.
So upon my recent visit to G’dham she agreed to meet me. I was quite excited to meet her. I had not seen her before but frankly, I was not excited to see how beautiful is she or what would be her figure which I (boys) look in girls. I was excited to meet the person who is energetic, smiling, cute, social, doctor and my friend.
Finally I met her in Garba ground in Oslo. I saw her dancing. She was dressed in traditional Gujarati Ghagra-choli, a bit of makeup, and was dancing fabulously bare foot with inexplicable expression on her cute sweet face. She resembles Komal Chautala (Chak De India!) in height, Aishwarya in eyes, Katrina in her soft & charming skin, Priety in her cuteness and Kajol (KKHH) in her words. Yes! She is so damn beautiful. Now that was really amazing. I couldn’t believe in that damn gorgeous beauty angel and went to see her again and again, where she was dancing Garba. Her beauty thrilled me. She is combination of brain and beauty which is an exception in women. I really felt proud of my self for having such a wonderful friend. I told to my cousin about her and she became more excited than me to meet her. Finally I ended up telling each of my friends, cousin and family about her. I’ll tell you my little sis reaction: Viveeeeek!!! How come! How did you get such a chweeet friend! But after a little pause; she said with little bit pride – “Aakhir Bhai Kiska hai”
“Garba khelne kaun mera bapu jayega” – She was replying to someone on phone and I was standing beside, listening. Hearing that, I imagined, when patient will approach her for consultation, she will say – “ let ja mamu, apun abhi tujhe thik kar dega”. Patient would think, Life is so beautiful and wonderful and I am sick! I guess prescribing medicine will only be formality for her for the sake of earning.
I know she would be getting lots of appreciation from lots of people around her, and mine would be one more for her. I believe, whenever anyone acknowledge someone’s good qualities, he/she should accept it gracefully and be thankful to almighty for everything instead of complaining for things, she doesn’t have or she wished but couldn’t get in life. People receive praise for their good qualities and achievement when they are humble with layman. I think, this girl try to enjoy every moment in life and make everyone happy. I wish she would be same forever, happy and making others happy.
Visiting Gandhidham for only seven days is always too short for me. But this time it was in a blink and I was back in office. We couldn’t talk much and also missed the long ride together otherwise I would have put much more content here about her.
She told me, she can read person’s mind who is talking to her by the way he communicates. That made me quite curious to know her thoughts about me. I expect her frank and true remark about me so that I can tell whether she is correct in her claim.
I wish, she will remain my friend forever and won’t charge any consultation fee from me. I hope she enjoys my friendship and I haven’t hurt her by any means.

Cricket mania - Team India ban karo
Australia lost last match with just 9 runs, and today Aussis won the match by overwhelming 9 wickets! That’s really fabulous. I really appreciate Aus’s consistent performance.
Just few days back Indian team won world cup and now they are loosing match like anything. It’s very hard to memorize all those rewards honored to them when Team India returned from South Africa. If Team India was so capable few days back what happened suddenly. Cricket is game of uncertainty, I know, but this rule doesn’t apply if one loose all the game it play.
I actually doubt capability of Indian cricket team, and more than that I hate the hype for cricket in India. I personally believe that, I would prefer to play cricket for 9 hours if I get that much time than sitting and watching cricket. I remember that day in college when I was entering into the mess to have my lunch and one of my friends asked me, Hey Vivek do you know what is the score? I asked, of what? He gave me strange look and asked me, don’t you know there is a cricket match of India? I said – No! He was amazed like I told him that, I was with your wife last night! That’s really absurd. In India if you don’t know match schedule and are not updated with the score card, you are absurd! I really wonder, if the question “what is our national game?” would appear for 10 million question in “Kaun Banega Karorpati” after few years.
I also love cricket but I am not obsessed about it like most others in India. I would urge people to enjoy cricket and not make propaganda of it, specially media, politician and promotion companies. Except Cricket, every other game is starving for fund. Little diversion of fund from cricket to other games will help a lot to motivate other games also.
Gradually my mind is observing only ghastly qualities of Team India and I wish India would loose all the match in next one year so that this hype could diminish. Even If India wins all the game, I wish if this hype could diminish.
Other games need our support, Let’s motivate them also.

Dil Dosti etc..
Three things are clear. Sanjay Mishra is dead. Apurv survived and Apurv is still looking for love(sex). But I wonder what really killed Sanjay ! Was it Sanjay himself, Prerna, Apurv , the opponent contestant in union election or PRAKASH JHA?
I appreciated Prakash Jha a lot for his movies like Aapharan and Gangajal. These movies revealed the social evil and conveyed clear message that – “bad things last” and he showed these based on few real incidence. But after watching his latest release last Friday “Dil Dosti etc...” I doubt the Prakash Jha’s motive of producing this movie. Let me tell you what I comprehended from this movie.
I think Prakash Jha couldn’t decide –“what really killed Sanjay” so the movie ended with riddle. He let audience decide, who really killed Sanjay based on their perception. So that they can justify the scene and hence the movie. I took each option provided by him and analyzed them.
Did Sanjay Mishra kill himself? I really doubt that. But if he did than we should learn from his mistake. Friends are also human and our expectation for them should not overpower our emotions. No wonder friends can cheat and hence it’s our responsibilities to identify the correct ones and stay away from selfish cunning friends.
Did Prerna Kill him? I guess yes and actually Sanjay let her do that. We youth think Love knows now boundaries but actually it has. Sanjay thought he could change Prerna once they would get married. They both were from completely different society with different perception about life. Sanjay dreamt to marry the girl who wants to be a model and doesn’t hesitate to ramp in lingerie. Everyone one of us has our comfortable zone which we define based on our perception towards life, family background, and ethics. Sanjay crossed this zone and suffered. At one scene (They chase bike riders on bus and fight with them) Apurv said, Sanjay knows what he wants to do and how to do that. I think that dialogue bluffed the audience.
Did Apurv kill him? Yes he did. His sexual desperation and ego to win the challenge killed Sanjay. When Sanjay caught Apurv and Prerna red handed I foresee the end of movie with Apurv death. But what actually happened was opposite to my opinion.
Did the opponent contestant in union election kill him? Fair chances. After all every thing is fair in love and war.
Now at last my doubt is on Prakash Jha. I think he didn’t murder only Sanjay but also thoughts of most of the youth in colleges and outside college. If I would have been in college while watching this movie, I would have very much inspired from movie. I would have thought – Smoking Bidi is not dangerous to health as there is no warning on the pack. If I live carefree life, without any plan in life and sleeping all around whenever got an opportunity – I am survived. But If I would have been living life akin to Sanjay Mishra, who valued the life, with dream to achieve something in life and working hard to realize them, I would have scared because – At last I am dead!
Also my belief towards politics that, politics is province of citizen of Bihar would have been strong. Movies like this only discourage youths from opting politics. I also wonder why only citizen of Bihar contest for election in all movies!
Dil Dosti etc.. basically suggest few good message but lots other which will misguide youths, and the trauma is that, few good message are all implicit which can hardly be comprehended by today’s young generation and all bad messages are explicitly revealed in the movie.
What the hell is the significant of telling people what “Fast-food” implies when a prostitute says that!

Is it called BLOG!
I am confused! I am unable to decide on what topic should I write my second blog. I thought lots of topic, even started writing a few lines on them but I found myself stuck after that. This happened with almost every topic.
I though of writing about Freakonomics – the book which I am about to finish (reading not authoring it.) The author has brilliantly revealed the hidden side of everything happening around us in our society. Do you think Schoolteachers and Sumo wrestlers have anything in common? The question itself sound absurd, but Steven Levitt have worked with number and used this information to prove this. When I read newspaper and found review on books I tried to give my review on this book I started and I felt “I need to read again!” So I am not writing my thoughts on this book. Now onwards I will mark the important points to comment on, while reading the book.
My day starts with Economics times. My curiosity for financial instrument like money, Taxation, mutual fund, and stocks is so high that I can read about these 24*7. So I thought of writing about the youths of India. I wanted to present the view on why their income is being defined as disposable income. How suddenly they have become extravagant and justifying their expenditure by saying “Chill yaar, this is our time. After this we’ll have lots of responsibility so Party hard” . I hope I would be writing about this with my clear view and manner soon.
Above two paragraph took almost one hr. It should not take so much of time but, does writing process consume reasonable time? Please tell me about this.
Whatever I wrote, is it called BLOG!

My first Blog
So here I am with my first blog. In today's world Blog has become buzz word and ppl are getting benefited from it.
Presently I am taking blogging as to improve my writing skills. It's very difficult to express your thoughts into words, I have never done this before. I hope it would help me.
Let me tell about me a bit in this introductory one...
Origin of Rajesthan, Born in rural area of Bihar, schooling in Gujarat, college in Jamshedpur and presently working in hyderabad. Living at different places at different stage of my life helped me to get very diversified experience about life, culture, people, friends, ethics and fate. I am always ready to change for good. Learning from each and every individual with whom I interact has helped to reach, where I am today.
My principle for life is : While in problem I see people who are starving, have no shelter, have no money to cure the disease and many others and thanks God that my problem is so small. Towards my positive side, I strive towards perfection and compare my self with the people who has achieved much more than me. This keeps me going with life.
In my life God has always blessed with with great friends who helped me in every aspect of life. Be it personality, attitude, finance, ethics, spirituality, habits, academic, Friends have lots of impact on every moment of my life. It's bcoz of their strong criticize that I am living smoking free life now. I really thanked all of my friends for everything.

Ohhhh I guess I never wrote so much from my own, ever in my life...
