GMAT DAY 0 TURNS OUT TO BE JUST THAT

“Started off with KAP/PR and OG – finished all the basic sections and understood everything so fast and now am ready to move to the advanced sections – here I come!” – is what I would have loved to and should have said after the major resolution taken by honourable self on GMAT prep on Sunday. Unfortunately various sections of the society and my mind conspired against and sabotaged this noble intention.

To start off, Sunday morning was spent in yet another useless search for “THE IIDEAL” prep strategy on the net – culling advice from the likes of dave/ Ursula/ attagirl & around 2 hours was wasted in such “plato”nic pursuits before realizing its better to start and then fine tune later on.

Then had a nap after a heavy lunch vowing to wake up at 4pm and hit the books…Ye gods did not take kindly to that – they sent me to Talentime 2005 at Cochin university – being the main sponsors, apparently we were under obligation to be there when everything shut down. Buoyed by my Comm manager’s promise of “fab” babes went there and ended up sorely disappointed. Was buffeted by alternating waves of nostalgia and ganja smoke…bringing back too many memories of saarang/ festember etc etc…wild wild days.

After politely smiling at everything in sight for the next 2 hours in that “I am an important manager”ial haze/ twiddling around with mobile/ downing dosas/ cutlets and lime tea at the resident coffee house, finally started back home…when colleague cum boss called me in for JAMES – latest super-good hindi flick that was supposed to be “Coming BLOODY soon” acc to the posters.

Went there in 2nd class – stud hero – nice understated muscular appeal. Fat plumpy babe (my products former model) who gets wet in skimpy clothes, tries to act frightened and ultimately chooses honour over everything else….whats new, you say…Da hero,man! Though you get used to the thwack thwack blood spraying action after some time, the hero still looks cool…and most of all doesn’t give stupid shitty lines a la the Khans of Bollyworld (Well, just once-tis a hindi movie after all).

No script, no outstanding songs, not much in the way of dialogues….total timepass stuff.

And yeah, this was a blog about my GMAT prep…so much for it…Woke up this morning and went through some old notes and packed GMAT prep stuff for my 2-day trip to Hyd with one of our vendors. Have to finish the OG/ KAP/PR basic by next weekend…. go boy!
