Here goes my first short and sweet stint at blogging. This really feels awkwards talking to no one in particular, wondering if any1 will ever read it an will it be ny good.
At the risk of sounding cliched i would venture to say that the subject of this blog is not to vent my spleen at the recently concluded CAT-2006 , but more about CAT itself. Wat is it about the CAT that years even decades of preparation succumb meeekly to it. I do not claim veteran status as a CATTER (after all i have given it only thrice) but i really do think it goes beyond the booty n the brains.
Is it about smartness, labour , or is it plain simple luck ? None of these i would venture (no pun intended). It would have been so simple (to give up!) if it were simply abt smartness but the number of really smart ppl i know who are in the iim's is miniscule to say the least compared to the other not so smart-asses. Is it about being a stud at English since kindergarden, or being born in a Business house having numbers flowing out of one's head? Again counter examples abound and one must acknowledge that such a simplistic solution is just not tenable.
To solve this mystery lets look in closer detail as to why a person in his sane mind agress to 1-2 years of preparation (slavery to those who miss it) in the prime of their youth, what is it that holds a magical attraction to often well pain s/w engineers and other professiosnal to apportion a lions share of their leisure time to this feline creature. I suppose there is something incredibly tempting about competing with the best in the country. The profligate corporates queing up for a bit of the iim'ian certainly help of course.
So now we have close to 2 Lakhs libido driven individuals vying for a institute with an intake of just around a thousand guys.
To be concluded... (after my next attempt!!)
