CAT – the emotional side

Who says CAT is just an exam. If its just an exam people should be preparing for it, go and give the exam & wait for the results…..

This actually doesn’t happen. Even myself, when I started my preps for CAT 2006 thought that CAT is just an exam. Infact as the journey started & as I got into the process, I started feeling that its more than an exam, but could never arrive at describing what actually it is...

Everyday, I was physically present at my work place, at home still my mind was thinking only about CAT..Does it mean that CAT is like GOD, you cant see, you can only feel...Whenever I thought about CAT, I was scared about rejection..Does it mean that CAT is like proposing a Girl.......As the exam was on process, heart was beating so fast as if its one ball & I need to hit a six..Does it mean that CAT is like the interesting climax of a thrilling sport....The moment I couldn’t convert IIMA call..I felt as if the sky has fallen on my head..Does it mean that CAT is an expectation...Again I started my journey towards CAT in 2007..with an additional power..Does it mean that CAT is an energy..Now I have failed once again..There is an inexplicable feeling passing through my nerves..A lot more silence like a saint...Does it mean that CAT is that inspiration in life which is missing now....

Now, what is CAT...For many, its just an exam, for some it’s a dream, for few its a part of their life...I may sound funny, but the fact is I have seen people, feeling one of the 3 ways I have defined above....To sum it up, CAT is an emotion, a feel which an aspirant cant separate from his heart when he is giving the same..If its not an emotion, why will the 2.3 lakh junta loose sleep a day before CAT?..Why does the heart throbs so fast during the exam.....I felt like writing this as a reverence towards the feel called CAT...CAT makes you a good Manager, CAT gives you so many friends in life..CAT gives you a chance to check your potiential & character..CAT gives you an aim in life & what not…..

Give CAT to FEEL it……………

Finally the wait is over…Iam out of the anguish….I knew I had screwed it up, but never expected this badly..It was a nice learning though, getting a single digit score in your strongest section always makes you to come back to the ground.Its a hard fact, still I need to accept it as it is a fact, I cant do anything to change it.

Last year it was a debacle at the climax & this year at the first stage…..My scores (just to inform my wellwishers)QA-single digitDI-49VA-10-18So its all over….Bye Bye to IIMs now.Thanks for all the support & affection.Thanks for all the motivations.Thanks for all the phone calls/SMS/scraps to console me….End of the day life has to move on….I will be always available on & off my blog as a friend & guide..All the Best to everyone….Congrats to the readers who have killed the feline….For others keep moving…Never feel that you have failed as life would be ready to offer you much more chances, much more successes than you expect, much more failures than this one….Always remember till you loose your life , nothing you have actually lost. I know its an undue gyan, but through this post Iam actually trying to console all those weaker hearts & trying to appreciate all those brave souls who are going to accept this failure with a smile..Any help required, remember Iam just a call/message away…Once again all the best to everyone..Remember, when it comes to GD/PI, CAT is nothing infront of it..Its so tormenting, still you need to pass it to reach your dream destinies..Believe in yourselves & Just do it….

Finally as for as me, the fighter has lost, the father has lost but I have won as a MAN, who can treat both success & failure equally..Last year, when I lost I was crying..This year Iam not crying, but holding a smile on my lips..End of the day, it’s the IIMs which didn’t accepted me & not me who said no to an IIM…My love towards IIMs is still true & pure………….Its the end of the love story, but I will remember IIMs throughout my life like a true lover who always remembers his first lady love…
