Version 2.0
It was my second attempt for clearing the CAT this year and there was lot more effort and sincerity then first attempt. The test is over and its time for the results. It is expected really soon any time any moment. This space is reflection of time that has gone for this version 2.0.
Leading to the exam it was really tough time and first time i was feeling the pressure of some examination. It was really butterflies in the stomach and i was feeling it even more due to the poor performances in mock test leading to the examination. Even on the day prior to it, I was really tensed. The exam day came and tension was less may be i realized that its not going to happen. These days CAT is really a big event and it was evident by the numbers of student appearing for the test and interest in media. Its like a craze and everywhere that is ruling.
Finally the exam was over and the talk shifted on the paper for that day. The analysis and toughness was everywhere. There was a race between coaching institute to come up with the answers key and expected cut-offs. Examinees also are in rush to check the answer keys. With so much analysis the results are become mere a confirmation of already known.
For me the results are still at mystery and it will be out anytime soon, I am waiting for it with the same anxiety as earlier students may used to do. People has asked that why i have not checked till now and I have no answer, maybe its the fear that has not led me do that. Its again the same feeling as before the exams, some thoughts of getting through just takes thinking to another level and fear of failure brings to mind that we have to keep doing the work and its really feel bad. The time has really flown by and its hard to imagine that how much time has already past this Version 2.0
Just praying that Version 3.0 will not appear :)

Clock is ticking
The time has come, and most of the site related to MBA has running the countdown from long time. As i am writing this post a famous site is showing the time as 12 days, 17hours, 23 minutes and 44 seconds. As the clock is ticking away its getting on the nerves of most of the MBA aspirants.
At least that is the case with me. The fear of failure(i will not say failure), fear of not succeeding gives the nightmare. Every one has the advice for the situation but it comes to implement it, seems impossible. I know that it is normal to have this feeling at this juncture. This feeling after sometime motivates to try harder and achieve the goal by making you alert and focussed. But there is very thin line between getting motivated and unmotivated by the tension. I think i am flirting with that line.
