A B (0.2)C .... L K(Pa) I
If the indications are anything to go by, this year has plenty to make me quiver.It already has started on that note , and frankly speaking this is the chilliest winter I've experienced till date (like most of us from the east (of India)).I personally never imagined I'd experience temperatures as low as 0.2 degree Celsius(0.2C) here in Delhi, and now that I've to endure it anyway I've started enjoying it.No point bickering about it.And in a way I'm a very blessed one if you consider those in Kolkata ( and other parts of east India, I'm sure) who cry out for being deprived of the momentous sessions inside a pull-over/sweater/cardigan.I've seen people putting-on tons of pull-overs when none is needed, just to get a feel, to truly welcome the season that's been betraying them for so long.Winter can truly be enjoyed.Ask the maddus who roam around in Tees & Shirts alone (gives me a shudder everytime!)
Talking of other things, I think the biggest pressure to handle in today's life, and mostly among the youngsters & juveniles , is peer pressure.It's huge.Of kilo, mega, giga Pascals.Maybe even more.Some tend to buckle under it ( with no fault of their own), and others , like many of us, either compromise our stand or rethink strategies to withstand it (some eventually go on to elevate the present situation).
So what is to be done , when one find so many of one's fellow friends already on the bus to CL,CF,IMS,Roots & what not ?
To say CAT is a very competitive exam would be the understatement of the millennium - goneby and present alike-( and its not going to get easier, atleast not in the near future).With the swords drawn so early what are the options left for the rest of the crowd ? Turning a blind's eye is not an option, but I've other issues to consider.I've already squandered around half a lac of my dad's hard earned money in the holy name of JEE coaching, without any extraordinary results to show. ( I'm a 'ek tappa' for the more concerned). And I'm not pretty sure whether it's going to be any different in case of the A B C L K I pursuit.But then I've not many options left apart from this dream chase ( that's excluding the possibilty, however remote, of landing a good enough job). And although I had or have no intention of joining any 'helping-hands' this early ( with due respect to all those who already did, no offense meant.I may be dumb), peer pressure sure made me think twice.
TO flow with the tide or not ? That is the question.
And I'm not very good at solving riddles.
On a completely different note and one which I HAD to write about, I saw this boy in the mess today ( I'm pretty sure he's not a student of here) wearing just a Tee, proclaiming : "I AM HERE FOR THE BLOW JOB".Now too much is too much.If wearing such loud Tees, with catchy one-liners makes one feel cool & full of attitude, think again! I think someone's in need of a psychoanalyst here.You need to draw the line somewhere between 'CATCHY' & 'OBSCENE/DEROGATORY'.I might be poking my nose a bit here but really, attitude is not the issue.It's a simple case of very poor dressing sense.And I really hate such sartorial adventures.
