Next week is a break and after that we have tests every weekend till the CAT. Lets see what happens.

Trafficking in USA

The world’s worst trafficking is in Asia, but teenage runaways in the United States are also routinely brutalized by their pimps. If a white, middle-class blonde goes missing, the authorities issue an Amber Alert and cable TV goes berserk, but neither federal nor local authorities do nearly enough to go after pimps who savagely abuse troubled girls who don’t fit the “missing blonde” narrative. The system is broken.

Simcat 10

A low after the high. Yes I did it again. Looks like a pretty bad test after seeing some comments and scores. Didn’t feel so bad when I was doing the paper. Just had the feeling that I lost time in the starting 30 minutes. Maybe thats what did me in. The last Sunday break coming up next weekend. Hope to have improved performances from then on. Also need to be on the lookout for SNAP forms. This is a good time to be doing MBA or maybe not. You don’t know whether the markets would have improved in the two years from now or not, but this gives you a argument that conditions like this make the requirement of management skills in all the employees mandatory and those with the edge will do better and help their companies do better.

And yes it now seems I love this journey more than the destination. I don’t want to.

Divesh : The Poet

Those who don’t get what I am saying, go and read this.

I don’t understand poetry much, but I still like this.

PS: Divesh: Unable to post comments from office so this post.
BTW, Have you seen, Harold & Kumar, Escape from Guantanamo Bay.
There is a mathemagical poem towards the end.

Simcat 9 and …

Wrote the simcat this Sunday. By the looks of it, this could be the best yet. Againg hoping to clear all the cut offs. By the way, matching up with IMS solutions gives me 74 marks in total. (DI: 27.5, VA: 22.5, QA: 24). Quant score looks good if I put aside that fact that I put almost 80 minutes in that stuff. I am really getting worse in QA. I need some advice, some help now. Do I practice the sections I can do and try to do better in them ? Do I study new sections so that I can try and work some of the easier stuff that comes from those sections? The first one looks saner but section one looks better because in my view on CAT day, it will be all about picking up the easier ones as the tougher ones will be .. well tough. Anyways what still gives me the edge in the writtens is the VA. Even though I am not particularly good in that, my reading speed does help me a lot. Looks like reading all those novels put paid. 

Coming to another question, I still don’t know why I should do an MBA except that it might be 2 years of college fun again and you can try and get out of the software mela, but going by the rate at which MBA’s are being awarded nowadays , the country will soon have an overflow of MBA’s , but let hope the great Indian Growth Story is intact. Really !

Now here is wishing me that I clear all the cutoffs this time and get a rank. WoW.

Simcat 8

Another Simcat, another new experience. This time again we reached around half an hour late and according to the new rules in force, we were not allowed to write the exam. We get the papers although. Lets see when I get the time to write the test under “simulated CAT enviornment” if such a thing is feasible.
