2006 - what bout it?

For some 2006 began wid a bang - for others it crashed like hell - for some like me - it remained normal, but more on the negative end...hows it for Bangalore - soon to become Bengaluru - more on the negative end again, with terrorism striking out in all spheres...the atmosphere particularly not bein very good with the IISc attack to end 2005, the finding of AK 56's etc proving the existence of Islamic terrorists in the city,and to make matters worse, a hoard of bomb hoaxes in the city - no one can imagine the destruction which can take place if ne of these turns out to be true...

Lets speak as if in a bestseller - amidst this turbulent atmosphere of terrorism, deceit, corruption and so on is ME - now 2006 dint begin in a great way for me either...rite from a foolish argument with a close friend to not getting ne calls from the IIMs...now that isnt new is it? I was expectin none, so no much blues this time - except that the IIMs once again have the results as unpredictable as they can be...the plot thickens as the scorecards are not out as yet...only the calls are - PG is roaring with the victories of many a number, and of course weeping with the miseries of a much bigger number, people who have spent their full year without a job in hand, having aspirations of a seven figure salary and to pass out from the best institutes in the country have been as usual let down by the not-so-very-transparent procedure of the IIMs. Why why why...these questions of course raise doubts in thousands of minds, especially of those who havent made it to single call - also of those who have got some of those red-lettered calls and mysteriously havent got the others...now thats a thing to wonder for them...

I think I shall be relieved till the thing dat in another 2 days the scorecards will be out...too bad that these results have to be sandwiched between the other exams...it shudnt but it kind of has a mental impact on how we perform in the other exams...da main thing which wurries me this time is that several deserving people whom i know well have again been let down...people whom i have prepared with, and who have raced past others in the mock season - it isnt that CDay was bad for them...just that maybe all the dreaded cut-offs cudnt be surpassed...

2006 I guess will also be a technically active year for me...in any case - management or no management, the year promises a hoard of other technical fundae in store for me...and it isnt so bad actually - just that it isnt the thing i wanna be active in...but then this isnt the first time life has shown me that i cant do everythin wat i want in life...some things are best done when the things at hand have received some justice...

For all the people who gave CAT 2005 after real good preparation but cudnt get honoured:
You guys got a lot of prepare for in the next year too...one thing i learnt from PG...neva give up...neva lose faith..

For all those who made it...

Get ready to be screwd first in the GD/PI's...and then in the IIMs..

For all those who dint prepare well...

CAT 2006...its a decision...take it or leave it...

I think i fall in the third category...

Disclaimer: I gess all those readin this will be thinkin dat my new year is only wonderin more bout CAT, CAT and CAT...naah...its just dat da atmosphere talks of it these days...there is definitely much more to life than just this feline.
