One of the best

A blog about a blog ...how does that sound..does it remind u of something similar..dream within a dream..Naah.... u wanna say cut the crap..Anyways i did get to c one of the most touted films of this era, and I did like it. However , you can appreciate a movie or for that matter any thing only as long as u do not experience something which is even better. I for one did the cardinal sin of watching the brillant "The Prestige" and "Inception" on the same day. And the result was that even though I liked Inception i ended up comparing it to "The Prestige" which would be unfair on the director,simple because the former is a concept of the director out of which he has made out a complete movie while the latter is an adaptation of a fantastic novel.So actually Chris and John had a lot of stuff to play with when they made "The Prestige" ..But as a viewer I tend to treat them as two movies ..thats it ..it doesnt matter where the inspiration came from..And there is where "The Prestige" wins it..I mean from the dialogues of the film, the screenplay , the emotions that the director has been able to eke out of Bale and Jackman is absolutely mesmerizing..A lot of people were critical of the Tesla angle and the sci-fi twist that was added..but again as it can be shown that there was no machine at all and Angier was merely using Root to play his trick..The ending is truly spellbinding when Caine closes it by saying
"Now you are looking for the secret, But u wont find it
Coz ofcourse ur not really looking, You dont really want to know
U want to be fooled"

And another AIMCAT bites the dust...

So AIMCAT 1118 has also gone by, and as usual I " could " have done much better than what I actually did ..Specially the QA section.I still have no idea as to what forces occupy my mind when I am attempting the QA section , that I fail to see the most obvious of things..When attempting the same section after the test I easily managed to score 1.5 times the cut off declared by TIME. As for VA I gave jus 28 mins to it so cannot blame myself, but the worrying factor is that I felt mentally exhausted during the DI-VA sections and did not want to even read the RCs..This has not happened before and was very frightening..Since then I have tried to practice a few RCs everyday so I am in the knack to reading abstract stuff and dont get numbed by it.Tommorow is AIMCAT 1117, hopefully I will fare better than my last outing and get some confidence going.

Life and its irritations

Ok so this one was long due and I was somehow controlling my frustration and irritations but my mid yr was jus one shot too many. Although, I knew what my scorecard would be right from the start and had thus not wasted time to fill in the CPM with all sorts of gibbirish, but I dint knew that these fuckers would even have a prob with that.So the first question that was flung towards me was " How serious are you regarding this discussion " , idiots dont you see from my comments or should i write in bold "I DONT GIVE A SHIT"... Then the session started to take its regular path where in I was again told that I need to be more proactive,innovative, need to increase my "visibilty" blah blah...same old shit and this tym even the fucking wrapper was same"How many people know you ?" .. jesus christ do u expect me to go around beating a drum that "I am Shikhar"..the same thing has been told in every damn session..How much do you know about TS ?The worst thing was when they said about on-floor decorum..with specific mention to the lang we speak ..there was my chance and dint spare them..shot back saying that we should ensure that only English is followed and not some fucking malayam..creamed him by mentioning that we shouldnt encourage someone who speaks in malayam..That put the them in their place and W admitted that it is a take home for them to ensure that local dialects are not used.Only good thing was atleast A agreed that I had excellent comm skills and was among the best in our team..Enuf said..now to my CAT preparation..well its so fucking competitive this world..I keep getting these highs and lows..sometimes I feel truly motivated to study hard and beat the shit out of everyone else and at times when I c comments like IIMs are only for the 90 percenters I feel low...All kinda negative thoughts start to flow..what if I dont get calls from Agood B school..wud I have stomach to fight for one more year..should I try for ISB..my profile is so weakI have heard from everywhere that one should get into a job that one truly loves..a job so dear to you that you are willing to work in it even when you are getting no payment for it..but the million dollar question remains how to find a job which you would love your whole life..Seriously I dont know..I dont even know if my decision to go for an indian MBA is justified considering my experience..Ok feeling sleepy now..tommorow is AIMCAT 1118 and I want to be in the best state of mind for it..
