Ah! What a pleasant day! I woke up this morning to the rythm of rain pounding on the window of my room. I cast a lazy look out the window, and boy, what a charming weather! For a moment I thought I had gone back in time and was reliving those wonderful days in Ooty. Its been a long time since I witnessed such a pleasing weather in Chennai. The weather was good, and so was my mood. A perfect beginning to the day!
There are many things that one can derive boundless pleasure from, but none better than sipping a cup of hot tea in a cosy romantic weather. I bet all my money on that. And yours truly is engaged in that blissful activity as he is typing this WORD. :) Ahh!!
More good news(for me, that is). No mock test today. Sundays without mock test have become unimaginable. I sometimes wonder I behave I like a robot programmed to give mock test on Sundays. This is what exactly happens on every Sunday - I get up at sharp 8.15, drag myself to the rest room for you-know-why, put on my its-been-more-than-six-months-since-i-washed-it-jean and t-shirt(which more than not happens to be my friends'), search frantically for a pencil, which is shorter than my shortest finger, and Off I go. Then I come running back from the gate in exacty 28 seconds: Oops, I have forgotten my hall ticket.
I have been successfully following this schedule for two years now, without modifying any bit of it. Its strange that I have absolutely no remorse in devoting my Sunday to a stupid aptitde test, instead of freaking out with my friends. In fact, I love it! Except for the fact that I have to get up real early - around 8AM.:(
I sincerely hope that Nov 10 is the last time ever I go out to write a mock test, and Nov 18 is the last time ever I go out to give CAT.
Not that I am fed up of it. Not that I would not give it once again, should I fail to crack this beast this time. But its just too demanding. It takes away a substantial part of your personal life, not letting you to do things you would love to do, and off it goes, even before you realize that half-an-year has sped past. And its sure not a safe bet. There is no guarantee to success.
I shall safely draw curtains on my performances in the mock test. From what I last learnt, my scores in the last mock test was less than the lowest temparture ever recorded in Kashmir, and my All-India-Rank was more than the total runs amassed by Sachin in test and ODI put togther. :D :D
Ok, enough of my ramblings!! Yesterday I finished reading a book by PG Wodehouse. He is the most funniest writer ever. It never occured to me how people had favorite authors. To me, if the book is good, i'll read it. I never delve deep into the details of author's style and all such stuff which many book enthusiasts do. But that was until I read PG Wodehouse. Now I have fallen in love with his writing. I plan to buy at least two PG Wodehouse books every month. (I would love to buy the entire collection, but this is all I can afford with my meagre salary. :( HR guys, are you reading???)
See ya in my post!! So loong!!:)
P.S: Chennai is incorrigible. By the time I completed this post, Sun is shining in all its glory. :(
