The hate affair continues ...

It appears that its not going to be easy to end the hate affair with Quantitative Aptitude so easily. The results of my first AIMCAT confirmed the same. Not that its the final verdict on my abilities, but its an indicator that Quant isn't Verbal, which comes a lot more easily to me. Remedial measure has started, but needs to be continued seriously if any realistic hopes of making the cut are to be kept alive.

Unsure about the summer to come, whether I'll be interning somewhere(minute probability) or will be doing a course somewhere and where will that be.. everything is uncertain.. lol.. as a TCS associate, I'm supposed to experience certainty ! The certain thing is wherever I am, can't afford to lose sight of my goal..

Adios..

Employed, yet unemplyed ..

Well, technically speaking from now on I wouldn't be able to use the phrase 'I'm unemployed' to describe a period of leisure, boredom or restlessness.. Not that I'm sad about it, in fact its a huge relief that I'm placed in the first IT company that visited our campus, TCS. Not an achievement by any standards of the word, but something which would have got me tensed had it not come my way or was delayed. There are tons of things one can write about the 'placements' or the 'recruitment process' which has been going on in our college for sometime now, but I guess I've already had an overdose of listening about stories and incidents where luck mattered more over intellect and the like that I'm no more in a mood to elucidate further.

The break after the placement was more than welcome as it provided a much needed respite from the grueling schedule we were forced to put up with. Headed off to Chennai and then for a small trip to Coorg, a small and beautiful hill station some 6 hours from Bangalore. Quite interestingly, it is the birthplace of the river Cauvery, over whose water people and politicians of two states are fighting with each other, and it is also the birthplace of Aishwarya Rai - over whom needless to say, many men have had arguments and disputes.

Now that I'm back here in college, there will be a routine to follow, a schedule of some sort to put an end to meaningless wandering of the mind in trying to find out innovative ways to kill time. Now that there is a job, I have the mental security to pursue the next target i.e CAT 2008 with greater zeal and commitment. Signing off for now.

Gracias ..
