The Mumbai Hangover!!

So, I am back in Delhi. Sunday and tomorrow I have to head back to the groggy place in Noida for my office. Same old work, with no zeal. Thank god i have some friends now to talk with.

Mumbai is still in my mind. Dont know why, but this time i am facing a hangover, previously faced two years back when i used to visit brother there. Dont know why. Have to meet my sweet lady to get back to Delhi but dont know when it will happen. Really want to go to the movie Kung Fu Panda again with her. Inner peace, a beautiful concept used this time, touched me and i want to watch it again on the big screen.

Today, I started practicing Maths again. Though, not many questions as got bored, but am taking the book with me tomorrow and I am sure I will do some good amount of questions tomorrow. Also have to get up tomorrow morning to workout my body. 5:15, thats when I have to get up. Also I have to get the weight machine and an inch tape, so that I can use them for my measurements. Hope to get them tomorrow.

Oh Delhi! Come back to me. I need to get into the old routine. Last seven days were too much of laziness.

Day 3 : In Mumbai!!

2 days in the city, and very little study. I tried to do some English, but ended up choosing the wrong options. Clearly, the sentence correction thing is difficult to do. Also completed the Sentence Completion but was not satisfied with the questions. I was more focussed on doing the Paragraph Completion, which takes a lot more efforts in choosing the correct option.

Other than that, getting very bored here, with parents 24 hours in front of me. Single room, didi is also at office and my girl 1000kms away, pissed off me. Just called her up, and got to learn she is not sharing anything with me since January. So, i am unaware of her mental conditions. Also, i thought that she cut the phone so wont be calling me for the next few hours, but what may have happened that my phone(which is touch screen) was in my pocket and by chance the phone disconnected. Then she tried to call 4 times but i was unaware. Then when i checked her missed calls, she called again. I picked up and before I could explain the circumstance, she said that she doesnt want to talk to me.

I am getting angry here. Parents dont give any respite here also. Ghar saaf karo, nahaao, khaana khao, khaana banao, sabzi kaato, newspaper lao, bottles bharo. More than that, i have zero privacy while talking to my girlfriend, so her pissing off is totally valid.

Later!! Dont know when can I resume my normal days..

Mock 3 : Same old story!!!

Okay, should i be happy or sad? I mean, I am strong in something, and the results show something else. English percentile is 99.67 while DILR is 59.25 and QA is just 31.67. Overall 94.27. Rank is 87 out of 1519.

Still not enough. I mean i can do well in Maths and DILR. English is just a fluke, it is good sometimes and bad most of the other times. But QA is my strong point, but the results show otherwise. Clearly, it is pointing at something.

I need to practise now. Now that all the concepts have been studied, i need to practise a lot. A lot. And so I have to plan now for my office. Everyday 20 questions dont seem bad.



Okay, so it is decided. After I come back, i need to start practising Maths, again till CAT comes or I score 99 percentile continuously in all mocks.

Mumbai Calling!!

I dont know why. But a trip to Mumbai haunts me. Not the usual way, but i start reminiscing my interview and the brutality with which i was handled. Surely, it pushed me two years to achieve my dream. And though this time i am more planned, my laziness is just getting better and better.
So this time, as i am visiting Mumbai, i am ensuring i do not fall back in studies. There are some serious issues with my English practice, so I have decided to do the exercises, and am hoping that i will be richer when i come back. Though i have to wait for one more week after that. The mock is scheduled on 5th June. BTW, i have to see my percentile of the last mock which got active on 19th May. Lets see, will update it soon.

Motivational!!!

Many times, there is a dip in your performance. When you feel too low to study something or sometimes just lazy. Such a time went past me this week. No plans(all plans were so small that they were completed much ahead of time), no office work(apparently i worked enough to be scared that the people dont start beating me). So it all ended up wasting some precious time for continuous seven days.
Hence, now i am in search of some motivational MBA quotes. These quotes help you not to lose the sight and work hard. But i know, it will be again a tough task for me to find something motivational and start working immediately.

Need of the hour is a plan to study forward as the real time of preparation is now when i practice amply and increase my marks in Mock papers.

BTW, I am going to Mumbai tomorrow, so i am just hoping i have enough to study something rather than wasting another week. That will make it two weeks or half a month.

Adios!!!

Errors - English's biggest mistake

I hate finding errors in sentences. Not taking English seriously for my entire life, neglecting story books and completing my English subject, just for the sake of it, is really making it difficult for me to get a 100% accuracy in this crucial part of Verbal Ability. No doubt why my own writings contain so much errors. But i always feel that English needs patience.

After i started reading books, by utilising my travelling time of worthy 5 hours, i have seen that my reading comprehension has improved comprehensively. Now i am getting vibes that it has reached a level that practice will just perfect it. The same is not the case for Errors in Usage. There are still many rules which are unknown to me. Grammer books are boring. Testfunda is done, so now i think that only patience and practice will help me.

Tomorrow i will be giving another Mock test so I am hoping that there will be considerable improvement so that i get some necessary confidence and plan my two weeks ahead. one of which will go to Mumbai.

Trying to be the Masters of Business

Why this? Why are everyone fighting for this degree when most of us don't know what is in it? Why does a simple question - "Why an MBA?" sounds so difficult to answer. Is it important to do this degree? Is this the degree to certify that you can be a manager? Dont know. But i know that i can maintain things very well and i need to do this anyway.

So from here starts a little late description of my journey to achieve my place. I started studying from the fall of 2011 in a planned manner. But there is a lot to achieve. Clearly you can see my simple english mistakes as i start updating this blog and i am hoping that i will improve gradually.

The blog will consist of my ups and downs, on a daily or weekly basis. Self discussions, mostly. But in the end I know, i will achieve it and in this year only. So there will be no waiting for one more year.

Best of luck!!
