Billions Of Billious Blue Blistering Barnacles

I recently started my “feline” classes at IMS.

First lecture, we have to solve a CAT paper. I was totally unprepared for it.

Still the whole thing got to a good start. I found the English section rather easy and was confident about at least 22 of the complete 25 that I had attempted.

But the other 2 sections were a nightmare. Anyone with decent amount of common sense would have realized that CAT is supposed to be tough. No one is ever expected to solve all 75. It’s not 12th CET.

But this is here,where the quizzing background acts as a hindrance.

I went in like a Juggernaut. With a swagger that wasn’t fitting for my potency at solving those questions. But there I was , a Kamikaze, if ever there was one.,circling everything that came along my way.Due to lack of negative marking in quizzes I usually go in with “None shall be passed” mentality.

I was confident about only around 18 out of 50 for maths and data sections. Still I answered 48. Cus in quizzes leaving questions unanswered is criminal.

The rest 30 were “Educated guesses” (If there is anything like that here.)

I found out that I was shooting blanks, more aimless than the US army in Iraq.

Turns out I put my foot in my own ass, chopped it with a “Kulhari” at the same time.

I plan to “think” from now on. Realizing that not everything is a Quiz elims sheet, plus, no one laughs if you think of a funny answer.

PS___ It is still a li’l better than what Salil did.

It’s his VIVA . When asked a particular question he didn’t know the answer for, his reply is “PASS”

(Me thinks Salil might have saved some face by complementing the examiner on the quality and setting of the question, or at least one “Good Question Sir”. )
