Feels like my abilities are stuck in time... i have not seen any improvement in myself for the past 3 to 4 months. i had got hooked on to the CAT fever... but ever since then i have hardly done anything productive or constructive. Just tiding away with time . Flowing with the pace of the world, offering no resistance, makes one feel so mechanical and lifeless. I really want to go round the world and experience things, there is so much to see in this small world of ours that a lifetime is not sufficient. And i feel like i have already wasted 22 years of my life, just going through the everyday rigours of life which everyone is subjected to . I believe this is my core motivation for doing an MBA, so that it opens up an oppurtunity for me to earn enough money and then simply roam the world. Hopefully , another 22 years down the line , i do not find myself as an hot shot top executive caught up in the rigours of making a living that i bury this desire somewhere deep inside me.
But now what can i do to tide over this impasse. i have pretty much a set plan for the next 2 months. i am done preparing for CAT and really do not know what kind of result to expect, so i have stopped expecting anything. I really want to toil hard for the next 2 months and make sure i land up somewhere decent. I know i have enough in me to crack apart any exam i give but still i dont.. because somewhere down the line during my preps there is always something that veers me off my course... this time i really never had the motivation to study Maths . it was more like a survival instinct and i have covered oinly the bare minimum. At this moment i should be brushing up my formulaes, but i really dont find any satisfaction in doing any of that. I had really wanted to work after i had finished my graduation this year and i tried real hard for it, in a span of two months i visited and applied at as many places i could. I wanted to be an Account Planner in a proper sized advertising agency . I know i have the knack for it . But they wont interview me since i am not an MBA. Fucking sweet. I have done my graduation in Mass Media, specialising in Advertising but that surely doesnt count in the market place. The three letters- MBA- seems to have become some sort of a rubber stamp on resumes in India. You have this rubber stamp and your career gets some kind of a thumbs up signal. Now this rubber stamp comes in varying degrees of quality .
Spank me really hard with all the money baby
This rubber stamp is of the foremost quality. If one has this on their resume, then well it means that they really busted their ass studying for an exam and spoke unbelievable levels of fart in their GD / PI sessions. This rubber stamp will ensure that you are never out of a job and you get free meals at least three times a week in conferences.
No one can crap on my face
This is next in the hierarchal ladder of rubber stamps. These guys too work hard for the exams, but do not have the same level of focus and determination as the spankers. So they end up with a rubber stamp that does not have the same level of durability. The two peer groups do not differ much in motivations or aspirations. Thus the spankers and the crapers end up in a symbiotic relationship in an organisation. They too are entitled to free meals and are generally besotted with good job offers should they lose their job.
My mama told me to beep her
The beepers are the mass , they get the rubber stamp simply cause it has those three letters MBA. Durability or the quality of this kind of rubber stamp is nothing to write about. It often ends up as a mere differentiator and these people will have to prove their worth at every step of their career, as their rubber stamp wont carry any extra burden for them. ( this is not to imply that the spankers and crapers do not have to prove themselves on the job. What i am alluding to is the job interview process. In an actual job scenario thankfully everyone has to prove their worth)
Well i had started this post on a totally different note and ended up with something else. Well that is life for you , you start off with certain intentions and midway things take a turn for the unknown. Wonder whether i will be classifed under a spanker, a crapper or a beeper.
Adios

LoL!
Great way to chronicle your existence among the 5 billion masses on this measly and resource stricken terra firma. Hopefully, you'll update it time and again.
Brilliant classification of the never ending masses of aspirants. Survival of the fittest, I agree...
Complete culture shock here though in terms of education; doesn't matter whether you have an MBA or a BA or even an A, because you've just got to perform to pay your mortgages or buy a pint or buy tissue paper (Priority differs you know). Raises questions of motivation now, doesn't it? Hmmm...
Re: Your forthcoming feline encounter, I'd suggest only one thing: Doggie**** it! Take it as it comes. And right now, ignorance of the media would be absolute bliss.
I know it goes without saying, but anyway: Have a few beers after the CATfight.
Cheers.

Hehe thanx for the motivation will update regularly
