I feel this guy’s pain/frustration. I really do.
Here is a conversation between me and Aravind.
A: Watch this video, and tell me, does it look familiar?
Me : No. It does not look familiar.
A : Have you seen The Matrix?
Me : Yes.
A : Dood, it is a ripoff from The Matrix.
Me : Yes, I know that.
A : Then what?
Me : You asked if that video was familiar. I have never seen it before, so it is not familiar. QED.
A: 
I appeared for the Common Admission Test(CAT) conducted yesterday(Nov 18). My centre was Ethiraj College for Women, here in Chennai. As a result, the one piece of advice I got from almost everyone was to not get too distracted. I guess I should not have taken that advice, as after the test, I might have had some sense of accomplishment 
So, I reached the test centre at 9 am, a good 45 minutes before the deadline. At around 9:20am, I took the good advice of my friend to answer the call of nature ( though we were unsure about the probability of a gents toilet in a ladies college. Hey! I haven’t been to any ladies colleges till yesterday! I am good boy. Whatever.). But our fears were unfounded and we relieved ourselves(individually of course. Don’t get any ideas).
This was rather pointless for me anyways. Given the lack of adipose tissue in my body and that butterflies were having a field day in my stomach, by the time the test started, I felt like I absolutely had to go to the toilet. Well, I restrained myself and thought that perhaps it would give me a sense of urgency during the test(hah!).
So, on reading the instructions of the test, I saw that the pattern was the same as last year. So far so good. However, I felt that the paper was far tougher than CAT’06.
I wont go into the details, but it is enough for me to say that I can kiss my chances of getting any IIM call goodbye. I have made way too many idiotic mistakes and have ruined any chance I had.
To all you maths geniuses out there, I have a doubt.
90+30+21 = 140
Will this statement hold good for extremely small values of 21?
I guess I don’t deserve even the worst MBA school in the country
As I engage in a bloody battle with TQM, I find that this cool game helps me keep my sanity at the very least. I also find that Shockwave games seem a bit slow in Firefox. I use Safari or Opera to play such games.

A quick post, no doubt influenced by the TQM End-Semester exam I have tomorrow.
If I recall correctly, there was a question in the second internal assessment regarding the criteria for selection on suppliers.
Having not studied a word, but thinking that this was a general enough question to be attempted, I proceeded to write standard stuff like reliability, quality, punctuality and so on.
I think I got only 1 mark out of 5 for what I had written. Now, looking at the points for said question in the book, I feel I was wronged as I had more or less captured the essence of the answer.
Nevertheless, I suppose I should be thankful for getting 1 mark as it was what saved me from getting only one mark in all.
