Is it lunacy! Is it a fad! No, it’s the CAT !!

Well I have been waiting a long time to write this (1 P.M, 19th November 2006 to be precise).
But somehow, never felt like doing it. Till now, the day the results were announced.

And it isn’t that I’m crying hoarse because of my inability to score well, but only because of the people around me.

People, who studied like there was no tomorrow.
People, who religiously gave practice tests over practice tests every Sunday.
People, who wasted every single weekend of their life for the past 6 months.
People, who fought foot and nails with their bosses to take some time off for studies.
People, who scored good enough in practice tests to put me to shame.

People, who meticulously did everything in accordance with the textbook, except for that single day.

And all this just to get that coveted IIM stamp on their royal posterior.

And it makes me wonder… (Led Zep to my rescue)

Isn’t it that we Indians (sorry for generalizing the whole lot) are like cows?
Simple and steady, doing what our master (replace this with any one’s name whomsoever dictates your life) orders, following each other in a herd, taking in everything our big mouth can take and cud’ing on it later. And with just two wishes in our life –

• To get the right brand on our ass (IIT/IIM/NIT/AIIMS/Any damn engineering /medical college will do).
• To provide our masters with the best possible milk our udders could produce

And we can go to any extent for this. Even forgetting if there exists any other reason for our existence and that at the end of the day, each and everyone of us will find his/her way to someone’s dining table (depends on which part of India you reside in) or some fat lady’s purse, wallet or that kinky little dress (it again makes me wonder…).

Hmmm….
I think I’ll have to start thinking.
Until, of course, the next bug catches my ass :D
