My Luv Story!!!

Frenz, I have a confession to make....This is my love story...It was my pre final year in BE when I fell in love . My love for CAT.Just like a bollywood flick it had all the ingredients - the joys of small victories in mocks, the passion to make her my own, the heart break of being rejected, the resolve to come back like phoenix and fight to get my love.

The nervousness when I first went to propose CAT on the fateful day of 23rd Nov 2003...it all turned out to be a big shock...a certain ranjit Don had already done enough to ruin my chances that day.I gathered courage and again propsed to her in feb, but all in vain….

Again thought of proposing her 9 months later in Nov 2004, but thanks to the Mocks who have shaken my confidence and I wasn’t even able to gather my self – forget about proposing her
Tried my luck again with full home work and gr8 mock cats to back me up in 2005 Nov, she did not even notice me I was heart broken.....

Finally 2006 Nov, no preps for CAT, went for late night movie on 18th Nov, caught a cold and spent a sleepless nite. Only thing that dragged me to the CAT center was that it was in a Women's college" And there she was in front of me...how I missed her for 1 whole year!I again bent down on my knees and proposed to her...tried for 2 and a half hours to convince her....Finally she said I need to think about it, gimme time till 2nd Jan. I will let you know then..she said with twinkle in her eyes.First time in my life I saw that twinkle in her eyes.....will this be my moment...will I finally be united with my love??

Only time (not that institute) will tell.......

R v Selfish???

Are we selfish..this thought creeps into my mind offtimes. Our parents have given their many years of hard earned money and efforts to get us settled. But what we are doing....

Living away from house from the time we started earning. And never looked back. Yes we do miss our parents some times but what we miss exactly -- is it their care n affection or their expert counseling or the yummy food by mom the gr8.

Ya yaa I know living away from house is not a good feeling - as we move out of comfy closet. The fight is there at each step from food to shelter, from ally to supporter. But do these problems give us excuses for not meeting duties towards our parents. I will say definitely not...

In some years we will be married and then would’ve a solid excuse. But do you think this is justifiable?? Our parents too have some expectations from us...... and trust me guys they will never cite it.

Ambicioso

The count has begun; 6 days to go for the D-day, keeping ma finger crossed I am waitin for the CAT results. I know its tough to crack those top 6 colleges but yes this is also true I have put in lots of efforts. Hoping those efforts and good wishes of dear ones help me in getting through.

But what if don't get selected, how it's going to affect me...afterall it will be my first miss. But is it right to keep dreaming n dreaming

Was thinking one day, why man's needs never ends...

I remember when I was in school my immediate goal was to get good marks so that I can make it to good college. So finally my efforts paid me off and me got selected in a `somewhat decent college.

Now the next greed why not member of Volley/baskeball/Cricket team ..thanks to God got a chance to grab couple of these opptunities too..Now what next ;) a Gang of guys who can rule the college...Thanks to my roomies for this, who were already on this and they just drew me in.

hmmm It's time to concentrate on studies now...as getting a good job was not easy so now MA whole concentration was on learning new tech stuff and bla bla ..just to get a job. My comments at that time for job 'Any work/Technology will do, any company/salary will do'. One fine day I got selected in firm now aree yaar!!! the work in not good , salary is not good, company is not good.

Now next thing on the agenda was switch - switch to a good, reputated company. Finally Yes I got engaged with my dream company. Now me again started cribbing -- need good project, good rating ... At this time I started realizing that my needs are not coming to an end. But I still managed to convince by inner-self that hopefully this will be last as I will good package, in a good company. I wil get settled and things will be good.

But God knows why I read the rediff news that day:- IIMB student got 80 lac package. If he can fetch 80 then for sure I can at least touch 20 (yummmmmy). Now here started one more war to full fill my greed - the CAT..hopefully this will be end to my never ending wish list

People may think this is not being greedy but ambitious but in my terms - this in nothing but hunger to achieve more n more....
